While the news will surely be welcomed by collectors exasperated by the conflict between portability and audio fidelity, the move is another setback for resurgent, often vinyl-only independent record shops, who will see this as an aggressive move by the omnipotent platform to consolidate another chunk of the music retail market. Many of our music customers are vinyl fans and it’s traditionally been very difficult to make digital versions of vinyl records-now customers can enjoy the albums they buy wherever they are, not just when they have access to a record player.” In a press release on the site, Steve Boom, Amazon’s aptly named Vice President of Digital Music said: “We’re thrilled to extend this experience to vinyl records.

Since it was introduced for CD’s in January, AutoRip has proved popular if somewhat irrelevant, for linking physical purchases with the digital world.

The online retailer has announced that their AutoRip service will extend to cover vinyl records, automatically uploading digital copies of every purchase into your Amazon Cloud Player.
