    What works

    Does not work at all for me, either with direct program execution or trying to open the .amz file with the command line.  I can get the program to start but it crashes shortly after.  This is tested with 64 bit Ubuntu V8.10.

    Additional Comments

    not ready for prime time. Unfortunate because Amazon has some killer MP3 deals. You can still download 1 song at a time but this is a pain. They have a 32 bit Ubuntu downloader now too.

    HowTo / Notes

    Amazon MP3 Downloader installation

    Make sure you operate on a clea­n WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!

    Prerequisite installation by using 'winetricks' script

    Winetricks will take care of all needed installation prerequisites and work around some problems.

    $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
    $ bash winetricks wmp9

    Run the app installer:

    $ wine AmazonMP3DownloaderInstall.exe
    ­
    Running the application (downloading mp3 from .amz content)

    ­Run the application with the .amz file as first argument to start downloading:

    $ pwd­
    /home/<your_username>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Amazon/MP3 Downloader­


    $ wine AmazonMP3Downloader.exe foo.amz­

    ­­
    Amazon MP3 Downloader crashes after file download (Windows Media Player missing)

    Bad programming practice/error handling. The application tries to add the downloaded file to the media library by default using "Windows Media Player" without any error checking.

    You can disable this behaviour in application settings -> "do nothing".

    Alternatively, installing Windows Media Player also works around:

    $ winetricks -q wmp9

    Native Linux Alternative

    Since March 2008 respectively December 2009 there exist the free alternative downloaders clamz and pymazon for Linux.
