AutoRip is available only to customers with billing addresses in the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who have a U.S. bank-issued credit card associated with their Amazon.com account.

This isn't really surprising - very few licensing-related services have international stories, since the licensing requirements tend to vary by country.

I did not check all that closely, but I noticed that one album, The Last Waltz by the band, the match for the standard album but I own the expanded edition with the outtakes and extra songs. So, I wonder if some "mismatches" are due to remasters like that.

This was a nice surprise though. I also noticed that albums that I had previously uploaded and then became AutoRips automatically adjusted my song count of uploads vs. purchases.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13493?rss#comments_17286 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 21:00:03 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13493#comments_17286
