When was the last time you listened to your cassettes?

Before it got into the business of selling MP3s, Amazon was shipping CDs, vinyl, and cassettes to customers around the world. Back in January, the company announced a new service for U.S. customers that allowed them to listen to all that music online, too. Now, Amazon is opening up AutoRip to UK customers.

AutoRip content is stored for free in your Cloud Player library and does not count against Cloud Player storage limits. The tracks can be played from any Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire, Android phone or tablet, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and any web browser.

    This sounds great for the grandparents and five year olds who actually pay for music.

    The catch is the albums have to be ripped by Amazon. Out of a recent purchase I made for 7 CD albums only one was eligible for auto-rip... And most of them already had MP3 versions in the Amazon store!
