The plan also makes sense because physical music sales do actually account for a large chunk of total music revenue, according to a Nielsen/Billboard industry report released last week. Anyone who is still buying physical CDs (online, no less) is probably the type of person that’s slow to adopt new technology and to stay loyal to whatever service or product they first encounter.

I’m sure Amazon will eventually sign agreements with all the music labels, but for now it is a setback.Īmazon’s plan is likely to succeed in boosting its digital music customers, too. Amazon currently has deals with three major record labels as well as a handful of notable indie labels. I heard an interview with Henry Rollins and he has to have every possible pressing of an album in his collection.Sadly, not all music will be eligible for AutoRip, meaning not all albums (and even select songs within eligible albums) will be available digitally at this time. LOL!!! I will admit to being kind of dumb and should just sign up for 10 bucks a month and just stream everything, but I am way too old and set in my ways I guess, going back to when I was a kid and would walk miles to a mom and pop record store to buy something. I spend too much time on Discog's just looking at all the inner sleeve art I was curious about when I was younger. I went through the collector thing but I am too old, too broke, not enough space or time for all this stuff, though I love it all. I could even give away the physical copy if I knew someone really wanted it. A Godsend for me, no expensive stereo, no maintenance, no space issues. I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination but it was kind of neat to buy a physical copy and then being able to call up that album/song on my echo speaker. I see there is a lot of hate here for the mp3's, even physical copies of music. A few weeks ago I buy a vinyl with auto-rip, next week the service has seemingly disappeared.

Just surprised it disappeared without any sort of announcement. Click to expand.I guess Amazon wants to you sign up for the streaming service.
