The page goes on to say that the first time you log in to your Cloud Player account they will "scan" your purchases and provide the MP3's for any eligible albums.

It turns out the only album that I purchased on CD that was eligible was an album I bought as a gag gift for a friend.

Here I was expecting some awesome free* MP3's but instead I got Barry Manilow.

That's what you get for thinking Barry Manilow should be a gag gift. Barry is the Man....ilow.
I wonder if Rick Astley's CDs are eligible for this. I'd like to think more than a few people accidentally rick-rolled themselves long after rick-rolling some friends in real life.
I just logged in to Cloud Player: "We've added 1084 songs from AutoRip CD purchases for free."
What other music did you buy? I just logged in and many discs I've bought in the past have shown up. Also were your past purchases that aren't showing up purchased directly from Amazon, or from 3rd parties?
