Pretty awesome if you have a big CD collection purchased on Amazon. Amazon's weak spot has always been it's reach: Brazil Canada China France Germany Italy Japan Spain United Kingdom and the US. that's not all that great. This auto -rip will roll out for the US, what about the other amazon markets?

In Japan, we still cant get spotify or rdio, due to the dinosaur Recording Industry Association of Japan, though I have heard rumours both those services might make it to Japan this year, We got Hulu Japan last year which was a huge surprise, who knows we may get lucky with the audio streaming too.

Google music services are also too limited by their reach. Gotta give Apple it's due, they have spread their tentacles all over the world with a huge selection of content, even if itunes is a dog, they are out there.
