Amazon AutoRip is giving out free copies of CDs




Online retailer Amazon has launched a service that stores free digital versions of CDs bought via its store.

AutoRip, which is only available in the US, will automatically keep a digital copy of eligible CDs in a customer's cloud storage account.
The catalogue has been made up from those albums that have proved most popular with Amazon customers in the last 15 years.The list includes "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and "21" by Adele.

Amazon this will make it easier for those who are trying to create a digital music library, now CD users don't have to go through the hassle of having to rip the songs. 

This move is an attempt to get market share from Apple's iTunes Store. The Cupertino giant has similar cloud storage services for music and leads the market with more than 50% of the market share, while Amazon has less than 15%. Google offers a similar service.
