Which, if I’m reading it correctly, means that I had to mark every CD I bought as a gift. If one of your friends who has been given your CD would have call us and request MP3 AutoRip copy we would deny it as those CDs have been purchased by you and using your account. I understand your concern about that being piracy but I can assure that it isn’t. You have decided to give away physical copy however MP3 copy remains yours.

Since you have purchased CDs using your account, your credit card and did not mark them as a gift we have given you MP3 copies of your purchases. That is why when you buy a physical music album and mark it as a gift for someone else, it is not eligible for AutoRip. Am I a pirate? Are they pirates? Do I have to pass these MP3s on to the people I gave the CDs to? Do I have to delete the MP3s? AM I GOING TO JAIL!?ĪutoRip enables customers who purchase a physical music album to have both the digital and the physical copy of the music they own. Turns out that 17 of those aren’t albums I actually own – I bought them all as gifts for other people.

Imagine my surprise then when Amazon Autoripped 19 albums for me. I don’t buy many CDs, truth be told, but when I do they’re rarely from Amazon. Yes! Even more so when you realise something else… That means that any CD you have previously bought from them, ever, which is supported by Autorip, will automatically appear in MP3 form in your Amazon Cloud player. This is great, in theory, but even better is that they’ve applied the system retrospectively.

It’s a service that automatically gives you Amazon Cloud based MP3s of any supported album you buy on CD.
