Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Amazon has had their MP3 and Cloudplayer out for a while but they just came out with Autorip and I now have the music for 3 CDs we bought many years ago available on my phone and tablet.  Autorip means they create digital copies, MP3s, in the cloud for CDs you buy.  In the past Diane and I have bought music CDs from Amazon and it turns out 3 of those were within the last 15 years and are eligible for Autorip, which means high quality MP3 copies are now on our Amazon Cloud account.  Until this morning I had not activated that Cloud Account but now that I have I can play the music from those CDs on any device I have the Amazon MP3 player on.  Even better, I can download the music to play when I don't have an internet connection and to not use precious cellular bandwidth.  Smart on Amazon's part since people do not like buying their music over again.  Of course we also have hundreds of CDs not bought from Amazon, but if I want to I can rip them myself and upload them.  

If you have bought CDs from Amazon in the past it is worth activating your Cloud Account.  And, yes, this is a direct attack by Amazon on iTunes music.

Great tip - thanks! I have hundreds of CDs I ripped to an external hard drive before we went on the road. I wonder if I can rip those from the hard drive up to the Cloud?  I am really glad Amazon is giving iTunes a run for it's money.

We are Amazon Prime members and will be renewing this year when it's time. At first I didn't think it would be worth the $79 annual fee, but I was DEAD wrong there. It has paid for itself MANY times over. I now shop Amazon for anything before we buy elsewhere and often simply order it from Amazon rather than at the store.  Especially when Amazon offers it for less - the shipping to us as Prime members is free.

Amazon supplies 5GB for free and if I remember the MP3's from Autorip do not count against the 5GB.

Hello Guys according to that topic i think that amazon may also choose to keep music from previous CD completely free, according to the choices.That could signify a lot of music.Amazon's strategy is similar to what the show biz sector has done in the previouis year.Amazon will be able to tell the large number of consumers who continue to prefer their music on disc that they're obtaining more value for their money.Thanks a lot!!
