Amazon gives the disc digital version purchased - The País.com (Spain)

Goodbye

waiting since buying a CD (or vinyl) over the Internet until it reaches the house and you can hear. Amazon wants to lighten further adding sending digital version of the physical disks you sell in your store.

Amazon, which premiered in January this service in the United States, is now offering in Spain, Germany and France. Mull waiting activate it soon in the UK. “We want you to enjoy shopping in a few seconds so that the MP3 is perfect. The important thing is the content, not just support, “says François Nuyt responsible Amazon in Spain.

Not entire catalog, but 250,000 titles. When it had created 50,000, so the growth rate is remarkable. Raul Julia, Amazon music responsible Spain, holds that represents 70% of its current offer.

most interesting advantage is that it works retroactively. That is, if someone bought a disc from the store opening in Spain, in the fall of 2011, and Amazon already has it in MP3 will be added directly to your cloud. Each buyer has 250 songs for free on their cloud storage. The bought, either in analog or digital, have not within those 250 complimentary. For 25 euros a year, the space expands to 25,000 songs. A similar price to charge Apple store in your cloud songs not from iTunes.

buy, albums with this option will appear, along with the cover and price, a sign where it says AutoRip, as this technology is called.

Opening

The songs, which are stored in the digital cloud each MP3 can be downloaded as many times as desired, listen online or forward to someone, they are unrestricted. You can open the session with the music stored on up to 10 devices (whether mobile, tablet or PC) at a time.

The only restriction is when you want to make a gift to someone. Then it works. Only sends and receives the physical format. The directors of the company argued that it is a matter of rights management imposed by the record.

Following this approach, it would be natural that this service also extrapolated Star article, books. Nuyts resisted: “Our focus is to make life easier. As a consumer I want to save money and enjoy it as before purchased, but we have nothing to announce at this field. “
