Hate it.
I also hate how they boned me & other like-minded consumers of albums.
Pre-2019, I was good for maybe 12-15 albums/cds. If they were Auto-Rip eligible...even better.
BLUF: I am in their Music Unlimited thing for this year.
As a result, I have no need to buy any cds from them.

...that said, yesterday I did buy Sybil by Mark Feldman's LEVEL5 (3-tune EP).
Totally happening.

I haven't purchased digital music from them for a while. Unless I'm mistaken, they only offer lossy MP3s. I think they weren't even 320. That might have changed. I know there used to be a feature where you would have streaming access to certain albums, but I don't see that anymore.
If I am getting just digital, I prefer to go through Bandcamp for FLAC files or HD Tracks for Hi-Res. Normally I buy a disk and rip it to FLAC.

I really Hate Amazon's new system. Very often, if you search for a song, you will be given hundreds of choices, involving 30-40-50 pages to scroll through. I hardly ever buy albums, I just want to buy a single song, a decent mp3 to download, play and learn from. Amazon's only plus is that they have almost everything - millions of songs, going back decades. But I would love it if I could find an alternative website where I could buy and download mp3s. Does anyone know of another site?
