goDel Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Just got a mail from Amazon that I could download a bunch of mp3's for free. Mp3's of albums I've bought years ago from Amazon... WTF!? Nice :) Disclaimer: haven't actually downloaded yet, so there might be some invisible bears on the road ahead... Your CD and Vinyl Purchases, Available Everywhere When you buy an AutoRip-eligible CD or vinyl record from Amazon.co.uk, we’ll give you a digital copy for free so you can start listening before your order arrives. We’ll even put all your previous eligible purchases into your Cloud Player next time you log in, so you can stream or download all the albums you forgot you owned on your web browser, iPhone, Android device or Kindle Fire. What are the Benefits of AutoRip? 1. Enjoy your music before the CD or vinyl arrives in the post 2. No need to manually copy your CD or vinyl to the computer 3. Get free MP3 versions of all past AutoRip-eligible purchases 4. Access your music on the move with Cloud Player 5. Keep your music safe in Cloud Player http://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=2614978031&ref=GB_dm_duo_lm Bleep, eat your heart out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Google and Apple do this for music you haven't even downloaded through them: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2920799?hl=en http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ah yes. OF course. But with Apple you have to rip, or dl it yourself first. If it's not on your comp, or in your itunes bought list, it's not in your cloud. Different to Amazon, right? edit: plus no cloud-fee from amazon. Google, dunno.

Guest isaki Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 do the google play instant mixes and streaming features require a subscription? I can't seem to be able to do anything they showed at I/O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a way to put your music in a cloud service without having to upload it if it can find a match. I don't know what the costs are since I don't use either. I also believe Google Music has a 20.000 track limit and the iTunes cloud stuff about 25.000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 it doesn't cost anything to use Google's cloud music service, and it is indeed 20,000 tracks limit on Google Play Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe Google Music has a 20.000 track limit and the iTunes cloud stuff about 25.000? iCloud has a yearly subscription fee (look at the link you've posted!!!). The limit only counts for the music that wasn't already in the iTunes store. So, if you've got 100K tracks which can be bought from iTunes, they're all in the cloud and you can still upload lots of tracks besides (i thought 15K tracks or something).
