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.

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

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:
