It's the new Cloud player app. Fortunately I said, no, when it came out
to see how it worked for others, and everyone got burned.
You can still get the old Amazon MP3 downloader. Sorry, but I don't have
the link. And a friend of mine battled with trying to get rid of the new
app and the old one working. But I don't know if he ever did.

Hi David!
That player has been unaccessible for months and I washed my hands of
there mp3 purchases a long time ago. I might buy cd's from there but,
not mp3's anymore because they don't care about accessibility. I
recently e-mailed there accessibility team and told them I was not very
happy with the service for mp3 downloads. I have tried to get them to
even have there service show up on the mobile website and that hasn't
even been done. I'm surprised you can get Window eyes to work on
Amazon's regular web site with all the cludder they have. I get music
from ITunes now a days so, Amazon.com doesn't get money from me when it
comes to mp3's.

*Subject:* Amazon Cloud Player Downloading Issue
Have any of you successfully bought MP3 albums from Amazon.com and
gotten them downloaded to your PC? I had been able to purchase
albums from their MP3 store and have them automatically downloaded
to my PC; but lately, something either in a WE update or at Amazon
has gone damnably wrong! For one thing, I had a radio button
checked to automatically download my purchases to my computer, and I
had one-click purchase enabled. That worked very nicely for several
months. Now, I find that that darned checkbox to automatically
download purchases does not stay on RELIABLY.
When an album I recently purchased did not automatically download to
my PC, I attempted to manually download it from the cloud player;
but I have had nothing but trouble, and I still do not have the
album I bought. I also found that even though the Download control
says "link", pressing ENTER won't operate it. I have applied
GWKB1127 to my Firefox so that the mouse functions should work
reliably; but even when I find the Download control, route the mouse
pointer to it, and do the left-click button on the numeric keypad,
the download still does not occur. I have even tried to click the
left button on the real mouse, holding it very carefully so that it
did not move away from where I had it routed, but the download still
does not occur.
I am about ready to contact Amazon, request a refund for the album
which I cannot get, and "wash my hands" of them as far as their MP3
purchase function is concerned. Ideally, it should be possible for
me to purchase an MP3 album and have it download to me automatically
immediately upon my purchase; and it would if that darned checkbox
could be checked AND LOCKED so that it would stay put!
Have any of you reecently been able to download MP3 albums from
Amazon? I have Windows XP, the latest version of WE, and both IE8
and probably the newest version of Firefox.
If I decide to say "goodbye" to Amazon, do any of you know of a good
accessible website to LEGALLY purchase MP3 albums and which works
effectively with WE? I do not want to obtain albums from any site
which does not sell MP3 albums on a totally legal basis.
