How to download songs from Amazon's Cloud Player?

Using the latest Banshee (1.9.6) and the Amazon MP3 extension, I just bought an album, and it was copied to my Amazon Cloud Drive/Player. How do I download this to my computer? Banshee's Amazon MP3 does not seem to open the Amazon Cloud Player pages, and the Amazon Cloud Player website keeps asking me to use their downloader program (which didn't work, perhaps too old).

On a side note, I can download the files individually from the Amazon Cloud Drive website, but that is not an ideal solution. I want to click a few buttons, download the whole album at once, and import it into Banshee (like it used to, before the Cloud Drive stuff).

The .amz files downloaded from Amazon's Cloud Drive are actually (subtly) different than the .amz files downloaded from their .mp3 store. Banshee's Amazon downloader wasn't able to recognize and open these files in Banshee 1.9.6, but this has been fixed. The fix is in Banshee 2.0, which is in 11.04.

There is no Amazon Cloud Player for Linux, or any client for it. The only way to download music which is already purchased, and is stored in the cloud player on Amazon, is to download the songs one file at a time.

When purchasing, however, you can use the Download your music now link on the Thanks for your purchase page, which will use the classic method of downloading music via an .amz file, which can be used with banshee, clamz, or other downloaders that support .amz files.

I found that Banshee 2.2.1 was downloading my amazon mp3s to /tmp/banshee-amz-downloader instead of my media or downloads folder.

Unfortunately there is no setting for where to download the files :/

Anyway, if you bought music and you downloaded it and not you don't see it in your library and can't find the files - try looking in /tmp/banshee-amz-downloader

For me the files had non-sense names like ee4560889fdf09fg.mp3 but their icon was the album art.

The best way I've found to import them:

1). Use banshee to download them to /tmp/banshee-amz-downloads. I just double-clicked the .amz files and it had an option to open with banshee so I did that. It showed a loading bar and when it finished:

2). Change your Banshee settings from them default settings to copy imported music to media folders, and to update metadata and file and folder names: Edit->Preferences then check boxes: "Copy files to media folders when importing", and "Write metadata to files", and "Update file and folder names"

3). Import the /tmp/banshee-amz-downloader folder's contents using Media->Import Media or by copying the folder into the music folder that Banshee is set to look in and rescan with Tools->Rescan Music Library

The end result will be copied mp3s sorted into appropriate folders in your music library with appropriate file names and metadata, and available in Banshee

There's clamz, which is a command-line tool that works with AMZ files.
