\"amazon<\/a>Amazon revealed a new feature for their Cloud Player called AutoRip<\/strong>. This feature will scan through your history to find CDs purchased through Amazon and automatically add those tracks to your Cloud Player library. Now users won’t have to rip and upload tracks from CDs they’ve purchased. The service will search for CD purchases dating back to 1998, a very substantial amount of time.<\/p>\n

While the AutoRip feature is welcome, Amazon is still up against some very tough competition from Apple and Google. Amazon charges $24.99 a year to import 250,000 of your own tracks. CDs and MP3s purchased through Amazon won’t count against this limit.<\/p>\n

Amazon gives free users a 250 track limit while Google gives its free users 20,000 track limit. Apple takes a different approach with iTunes Match<\/a>, which scans your library and makes tracks available to download (but not stream) across all your iOS<\/a> devices. There’s no option to upload tracks that aren’t in the iTunes music store.<\/p>\n

Amazon is hoping that AutoRip will further entice consumers into using its Cloud Player service. Amazon power users will definitely find AutoRip a nice addition, but it may not be enough to entice users from Google’s and Apple’s ecosystems.<\/p>\n
