Mine started automatically without any difficulty from the first time I used it until I got an Amazon Cloud Player account. Now I get an error message and have to enter the Cloud player and download from there, but before that, the downloader would come up after I purchased. One thing that may have been different in my case, I kept the setting where I had to confirm each purchase before it was completed to prevent an accidental purchase. When I clicked on the buy button for a song or album, Firefox would take me to the confirmation page and once I clicked on confirm, the downloader would come up and the download would begin without me needing to do anything. I don't know of any possible differences in settings. I changed the defaults to automatically add tracks to my iTunes library and to download tracks to a folder named Amazon MP3 on my D: drive because I keep files I purchase from different sites separate from those I rip myself, and those are the main settings changes I made. This is with Windows XP SP3 and with Firefox. But, as I said, the automatic downloading went away with my use of the Cloud player. I wish I could get it back, but I also think having all of my purchases automatically backed up without counting against the 5 Gb of free storage they give is worth the extra effort. But the point of this is that, unless one is using the Cloud player, automatic downloading should be workeable with at least some setups unless they've broken it with a recent update. As for how long the automatic downloads worked for me, I started using the Amazon MP3 store pretty much as soon as they opened it, so quite some time.

I assume that the downloader will start at that point, but perhaps am supposed to start it manually first, I am unsure.

In converting the jaws section to W E equivalents, I managed to get something wrong. Unfortunately I can no longer locate the demonstration. Anyone have a link for the demonstration by Anna Dresner of using the Amazon MP3 album downloader? Ron Denis If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
