Now, Maybe you don’t want the physical CD since they’re “old school”. Well, as I‘ve been looking, the digital MP3 version costs $11.99 which is two bucks more and no physical disc and artwork. You get to stream and download the album right away, and in a couple days have the official CD – not only an instant backup, but you get the artwork, liner notes, and more. Of course, the physical version with AutoRip isn’t always going to be cheaper, each title varies. And, not all albums are available for the AutoRip feature.

Austin summed it up the benefits of AutoRip quite well in his previous post:

I’ve been thinking about getting away from getting CDs, I already have hundreds of them. But, if new releases are the same price or cheaper, why not get the physical version too? I am starting to collect more vinyl though, and if you order a new record, even though the vinyl version isn’t available immediately, you get the MP3 version while you wait.
