The trick is to uninstall the Amazon garbage and decline the request to
install it every time you purchase an album or song.
I just figured this out recently so I don't have the exact steps. But it
goes something like this.
After you make your purchase I think you land on the download
player/downloader link or button. I forget if you have to say no or if
there's a direct download on the same page. You do have to take a ride
around the merry-go-round. But it's not too bad and you should find the
direct download link. And all album downloads will be in a file of the
same name: Amazon-MP3.zip or something like that.

Well I just downloaded two albums from Amazon, but it wasn't exactly
easy, and I'm not really sure how I did it. It seems that rather than
the Amazon mp3 Downloader, which I still have on my system, they now
want you to download something they call the Amazon Music Installer, but
Amazon claims that you can download directly with your browser, and I
eventually got that to work, but I'm not sure whether downloading that
Music Installer helped or not.. And I'm not even sure if the Music
Installer was even necessary. You know how you try all these things to
get a job done, and if you're successful, you can't really be sure what
actually worked in the end? Well, that's how I feel after getting these
albums downloaded. The last thing I did was go to my Digital Orders, and
next to the two albums I just bought there were download buttons. I
clicked one of them, and both albums downloaded in one zipped folder via
my browser, which in this case was Internet Explorer. However, before I
downloaded that Amazon Music Installer, when I first purchased the
albums, there were also Download buttons, as well as Download links, but
clicking them didn't do anything.
So really, I'm not sure how I got it to work.

Subject: Re: AMAZON MUSIC PLAYER
It would be good if Amazon music download were accessible again. I've
stopped buying music since Amazon's MP3 Downloader was discontinued. I
hate iTunes because it's so invasive and tries to take over my world,
which I'm not prepared to allow..
Anyone any thoughts on an accessible music downloader which doesn't
think it owns my computer?
