Amazon today announced a new service that will provide customers who purchase physical CDs with a cloud-based MP3 backup of the music via Amazon Cloud Player.

Apr 11, 2018 - How to Download Music from Amazon to iTunes. To access your Amazon Music purchases in iTunes, firstly you need to download Amazon songs to your. Playing and downloading non-DRM files in MP3 and M4A formats.

Dubbed Amazon AutoRip, the service will give people who buy CDs via Amazon.com the option to access that music in a digital format via Amazon's cloud music storage service.

AutoRip is retroactive, Amazon said, so anyone who has purchased a CD that is part of the AutoRip service since 1998 will find that music in their Amazon Cloud account. The service is free, and you'll gain digital access to your new music before the physical CD arrives.

Amazon said that more than 50,000 albums - with titles from every major record label - are currently part of AutoRip. On my Amazon Cloud account, Amazon added 169 songs via AutoRip. Amazon's MP3 store currently has over 21 million songs.

'What would you say if you bought music CDs from a company 15 years ago, and then 15 years later that company licensed the rights from the record companies to give you the MP3 versions of those CDs ... and then to top it off, did that for you automatically and for free?' said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder and CEO. 'Well, starting today, it's available to all of our customers – past, present, and future – at no cost. We love these opportunities to do something unexpected for our customers.'

Free

If an album is included in AutoRip, it will say 'Includes Free MP3 version of this album' underneath the 'Add to Cart' button on the product page. After you purchase the CD, your confirmation page will include a green link that says 'Play or download your music now.' Download immediately or visit your Amazon Cloud account later to listen to the songs. Amazon will also peruse past purchases and update your music library with digital copies of any AutoRip songs. Songs purchased via Amazon will not count against the Cloud Player storage limit.

Once songs are uploaded to the Cloud Player account, they can be accessed on the Web, or via Amazon's mobile apps.

After you purchase music or if you're a member of Amazon Prime Music, you'll enjoy that music in several different ways, including downloading it with a mobile or desktop app.
