    A bit disappointed in Amazon, last Monday I ordered a cd box set (Harvest Albums by Soft Machine) which included an Autorip copy, It was supposed to be delivered yesterday. I knew something was wrong Friday since I never even got a shipment notice, and was the delivery date of the item.
    Come today I get I cancel notice, and my Aurorip copy was bye bye.
    I literally waited several months for the item to come back in stock, and it finally did, when I placed my order there were a few copies in stock.
    So why the frick did they cancel my order of an in stock item?
    And I'm pretty sure this set can't be out of print (OOP) already as it came out in 2019.
    I believe when they cancel an item, they should let you the Autorip as a compensation for inconvenience.
    In the last few months, Amazon has lost 3 different orders of mine, and cancelled 3.
    And I am a prime member too.
    Sorry for the rant, but I needed to speak my mind.

    Was able to order another one when it came in stock, happy camper now.

    Just ordered The Beatles single disc Sgt Pepper 2009 remaster to replace a copy I cant seem to find for $12.69, and got the Autorip for the 65 track 2017 Deluxe Edition!, was just expecting to get the 13 track standard release.

    Strange than some artists never seem to have that many Autorip eligible titles, for example, Eagles only has a very few.
    And some have certain titles that do not ever include Autorip, Pink Floyd's Piper, and Relics never do.
    Animals only gives Autorip for the vinyl, not the cd for some strange reason.

    I got autorip files when I bought the Piper Anniversary box, but this was several years ago. I'm guessing the autorip rights must continually be in flux.

    Looks like no Autorip included with the new All Things Must Pass 50th. Ann.
    Seems like Autorip is not included with most new releases now.

    Sometimes the autorips show up a few months after release. (I suppose it's a deal with the labels to encourage people to pay for downloads?) Doesn't help me much anymore, since the Autorip feature was the main reason I bought music from Amazon versus other dealers.

    Great tip. Thanks.

    I dumped the email with the link to download an album I bought. Didn't think about the Amazon Music app. Like everything you do on Amazon a bot is somehow controlling it, sometimes that can be good and work to your advantage.

    The good thing is downloads of auto rip files seems possible after it wasn't for a while.

    Has anyone noticed that, if you upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited and try to play a album or CD in HD that you previously bought with autorip, only the mp3 audio will play?
