I wish it was $3.99!!! It's actually $8.99 on the iTunes US and $9.90 on Amazon US...

You can get WAV files at Beatport.com as well. $12.99 + plus some kind of WAV handling fee... What?!

It was $3.99 on iTunes earlier today. More expensive now.

The WAV handling fee at Beatport is $1/track, so that makes the full thing $22.99. Thus, Juno is cheaper for WAV.

Was it just a pricing error on iTunes? Does that happen often, or was there some other reason for the cheaper price?

It's also available via Zune marketplace.

hey don't be dissin' amazon! i've bought a ton of stuff from there and never
had a problem..

how many people here use linux variants? give them a break...
(you checked the help page right?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help...edemptionToken=
)

and do you mean, you have never moved/synced mp3's before?
there should be plain links for downloads...so you don't have to use the
download app... either that, or borrow or find someone with a windows/mac
machine...

it's not really that hard..

I might have overreacted. However, I still don't like having to install additional software for completing a transaction that could be solved by simply downloading a conventional file container.

Yeah, that page comes up in the purchasing process. At first I was positively astonished to find solutions for that many distributions. But here's the major catch: "64-bit Linux distributions are currently not supported." Neither is the current 10.xx Ubuntu. I do realise that Linux is still a niche and that programming a downloading software for every OS available isn't feasible, but Ubuntu 10.04 might be one of the most widespread Linux distributions.

Of course I have. What's this to do with the question at hand?

Exactly my point: There should be such a link, but there isn't. All you get is a .amz file which you have to load in a special piece of software. Which, then, works smoothly and brings forth the desired MP3 files.

I still have Win 7 installed (for MS Office, since OpenOffice.org has difficulties with proprietary DOC format). I wouldn't have cheered at installing additional software in Windows, either.

It wasn't - once I found this excellent tutorial on how to handle .amz files with pymazon. (And here's a thread on how to make the Amazon Downloader work on 64-bit 10.04.)

Anyway, my problem's solved now so I've cooled down a lot since last night.

no worries..
glad you figured it out and it worked..


for one of my media players i actually have a nokia 810
that runs a version of linux.. but i cheated and downloaded
the files to a windows machine first,
and then just put it on an SD card, which the machine recognizes...
and i can just play the files from there...

No worries. I'm still a Linux n00b and my learning curve is shallow.

Don't even get me started on iTunes and WMP...
