Can't get a .amz file #62

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Buy an album from Amazon
2. Click the "download your music now" link
3. Get Amazon's snickere apology about not supporting Linux.

Am I missing something? Or has Amazon stopped making it possible to get a .amz 
file that Pymazon can use?

Amazon has, for whatever reason, stopped serving AMZ files to Linux users.
Similar problems have been partially resolved by using the following workaround:
1. Install a User-agent switching plugin. (e.g. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ for Firefox)
2. Make sure that you are logged out of Amazon's services.
3. Switch your User Agent to "Internet Explorer 9" or a different Windows-based 
browser.
4. Log in and do whatever you like.
5. (Optional) Write a long and frustrated letter to Amazon.

If you use Chrome or Greasemonkey for Firefox you might try this userscript:

For new MP3 purchases it replaces the 'download your music now' link so that it 
downloads the .amz file.

I haven't found anything for the Cloud Player.

Thanks, jsphs! And muchas gracias to "somethingsomethingsomething" for 
providing the Greasemonkey script. It works perfectly.
