kidamnesiac Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Response from Amazon RE: purchased albums missing from my Cloud Player. When you purchase an AutoRip eligible album from Amazon.com, an MP3version of the full album is added to Amazon Cloud Player for free.You can view your Cloud Player library here: http://www.amazon.com/cloudplayerThrough the AutoRip program, we will also add to your Cloud Playerlibrary MP3 versions of all eligible tracks from albums you havepurchased as far back as 1998. For some albums you purchased in thepast, we may have added MP3 versions of some but not all of the trackson the album, depending on track eligibility for AutoRip. We willcontinue to expand our selection of AutoRip titles in the future.You can download or play these MP3s on any supported device. These MP3sappear in your Purchased playlist with the AutoRip logo, and don't countagainst your Cloud Player storage limits.I've checked and can confirm that the albums which you mentioned are not eligible for AutoRip.We're continually working to expand the number of albums eligible for AutoRip.However, to make sure that your feedback is heard by the right people inthe organization, I have forwarded your comments, expressing yourdesire to make the above albums available to Amazon Cloud player, to ourAmazon Development Team, so that they can take notice of it, take theminto consideration, work out and most probably provide the option in thenear future.

detroitsportsguy27 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I can't imagine myself ordering the front bottoms through bar none after I heard about this. Why do labels supply amazon with their records knowing they will sell it cheaper and then lose out on money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeine Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 was it recent? amazon has been using their "frustration free" mailers for roughly 2 years, but before that they did the "big box + air bags" approach quite a bit anyhoo, this is spectacular news. I'll have to see if the nofx boxset was included in this No, not recent, definitely much longer than 2 years ago. Yeah the big box approach is brutal!

harryq Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 just bought an album that is "temporarily out of stock" and got the songs on my cloud player instantly. I wonder what happens if this album never ships (or if I were to try to cancel the order)... nevermind, they address it here: IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT RETURNS AND CANCELLATIONS: If you cancel your order or return this album, our normal order cancellation and product return policies will apply regarding the physical version of this album. However, if you download any of the tracks on the MP3 version of the album from your Cloud Player library (including if you have enabled auto-download to a device and any of the tracks on the MP3 version of the album auto-download), you will be considered to have purchased the MP3 version of the album from the Amazon MP3 Store and we will charge your credit card (or other payment method) for the then-current price of the MP3 version of the album (which will be non-refundable and may be a higher price than the physical version of the album). If you cancel your order or return the album and you do not download any of the tracks on the MP3 version of the album from your Cloud Player library, we will remove it from your Cloud Player library and you will not be charged for it. in other words, it seems you can listen to the songs all you want, you just can't download them. in any case, this is one more huge reason to buy vinyl from amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homework Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Too bad I'm an audiophile fag and archive FLAC. If they issued download codes instead of having you install their downloading software, I would share the download codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
