Subject: Re: (ot) amazon music

It certainly was accessible at one time.  I don't know how the 
current
version is as I haven't downloaded anything from Amazon in the 
past six
months.  But, here is a helpful post I created about a year ago 
for somebody
else.

I wrote this quick guide for someone else a year ago, but the 
last time I
purchased something from Amazon, the principles still applied.  
So, I'll just
paste in what I had and if you have any problem, let me know.

If you don't have the Amazon Mp3 Downloader, Go to this link and 
find the
install link
http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd-bm.html?ie=UTF8&*Version
*=1&*entries*=0



Your downloads will go into the folder specified in the Amazon 
Downloader
program.  So, you need to look at the program, usually the 
default location
is my music\amazon mp3\ArtistName, where ArtistName is the artist 
of the
album you ordered.  If you ordered a single, I'm not sure if it 
follows that
convention or if it puts your single in the various artist 
folder.


Here's a small help file I did for someone else a couple months 
ago.  The
refreshing issue only occurred with Win-Eyes, so you probably can 
disregard
the last part of the message.
Blank
Ok, this appears to work with Win-Eyes 7.5.  I tried 
alternatively using Jaws
13.1, but I had problems with it focusing on the correct link 
with my IE8
and Windows xp.  But, Jaws 12 works well with the Amazon 
downloader though.  I
didn't try System Access, but I expect it would work well too.
To download an Amazon mp3 album:

Find the mp3 album you want.  A page will appear with the track 
listings.

Click the one-click checkout which is located above the first 
heading.

A table will open which will confirm that you want to order the 
album.

Click the continue link.

Another page will open with a bunch of typical Amazon links 
including a
table.  In the table, you will see a reference to opening the 
album in the
cloud player.  Right below that is a download link.  Click on 
that.  You may
have a warning that comes up from your browser, simply confirm 
you want to
download the file.

I just had to update to the latest version of the Amazon 
Downloader, so I
then got a message that I had to authorize my computer; I think 
this was in
reference to the cloud player, but I did it.  You should only 
need to do this
once.  If you didn't have to authorize, you probably got a 
double-beep
pop-up warning that asks if you want to automatically download 
the album to
the Amazon player on your computer.  Up near the top of the 
screen, there
will be a yes button, a no button, and a checkbox that you can 
check if you
don't want that message again.  I just clicked on the Yes button.
As the album is downloading, if you go to the Amazon music 
downloader
program by alt-tabbing, you should hear a progress bar.  It will 
go up to
100% for each track, so you will hear it cycle through several 
times to
complete all the album tracks.


Now, after Karen clicked the download button using Win-Eyes, she 
had no
response.  Here is what we found out using WinEyes:
Blank
In case anybody else had the same issue Karen did, here is the 
solution.

When you get the beep from IE when you click the Get MP3 link, 
hit alt-n for
the info bar.  It will say IE blocked this download.  Hit the 
application key
and allow the download.

Now, in Window-Eyes 7.5.4 on the XP machine, it shows a blank 
screen.  Do a
screen refresh in Win-eyes insert-backslash.  Now, if you go back 
to the
table and click the get mp3 link again, you will get the do you 
want to save
or run the file dialog.  Click on save and it should download 
into your
amazon downloader directory, which should be in your my music 
directory.
That is the default area for downloaded purchased music from 
Amazon.

Steve, K8SP

Nothing new to add about that here Bob.  I have been very
frustrated with Amazon music and haven't tried for years.  They
required you to download something called Amazon downloader, why
I don't know, but it wasn't accessible then and probably isn't
now.  Jim WA6EKS

If someone has experience with the amazon music ap for the pc,
please
contact me.  I have had less than success with downloading with
it.

Reply off list.

Thanks.

Hi, all.

I'm re-posting this for everyone's information.

It is in no way meant to pressure anyone into anything.

I just wanted to give list members a first shot at this stuff,
before I post
to other venues, probably next week-end after my Fall final
grades have been
calculated and submitted.

Subject: Equipment For Sale

Hello, everyone.


I have the following items for sale, and wanted to post them here
first
before expanding my ad to more general sites like e-ham and
QTH.com.:



1.  One Tentec Scout 555 HF transceiver in excellent condition.
The rig
comes with all 9 band modules, the Tentec 607 paddle/keyer, and
the Tentec
937 power supply.  I'm asking $700 for the entire setup not
including
shipping.



2.  One Tentec 238A manual tuner in good condition.  The tuner
handles up to
2000 watts, and functions quite  well on all HF bands, despite a
slightly-noisy roller inductor.  Asking price = $300, not
including
shipping.



3.  One Ameritron AL811H amplifier in good working condition.
The amplifier
has a matched quad of 572B tubes.  An extra set of four 811 tubes
will also
be included.  The amp has been very successfully used  on 20 and
40 meters,
and tunes well on other HF bands, from 80 through 10 meters.
Asking price =
$700, not including shipping.

Manuals and other documentation will be provided in electronic,
print, and
Braille formats.  In addition, the controls on the Tentec tuner
and
Ameritron AL811H are labeled in Braille.

All equipment has been in a smoke-free environment.

Would prefer US postal money order as payment method, but other
arrangements
can be made if needed.


Any questions, please e-mail me at:
