Installing Amazon MP3 Downloader in LMDE amd64

I know it's a known issue that Amazon's MP3 Downloader is only available in 32-bit version but a simple search reveals pages like
this with instructions for installing it with Getlibs. I know Getlibs from Ubuntu but since LMDE isn't based on Ubuntu I was glad to find
this page on the Debian user Forums that has a link to a Getlibs in a Debian package for all distros. I installed it, got the Debian package for the Amazon downloader and tried to install it in Konsole but got a rather frustrating batch of error messages:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all AmazonMP3DownloaderInstall.deb
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

Anyone have any ideas what I could do to fix this?

Try satisfying its dependencies. Those versions are kinda old: see
this page from lenny. Assuming you're up-to-date on LMDE, when you do
Code: Select all
for SUB in "filesystem" "thread" "iostreams" "signals" "date-time" ; do
aptitude search ~nlibboost-${SUB}
done
you'll probably get results like mine
Code: Select all
p libboost-filesystem-dev - filesystem operations in C++ (default version)
p libboost-filesystem1.42.0 - filesystem operations (portable paths, iteration over directories,
p libboost-filesystem1.46-dev - filesystem operations (portable paths, iteration over directories,
p libboost-filesystem1.46.1 - filesystem operations (portable paths, iteration over directories,
p libboost-thread-dev - portable C++ multi-threading (default version)
p libboost-thread1.42.0 - portable C++ multi-threading
p libboost-thread1.46-dev - portable C++ multi-threading
p libboost-thread1.46.1 - portable C++ multi-threading
p libboost-iostreams-dev - Boost.Iostreams Library development files (default version)
i libboost-iostreams1.42.0 - Boost.Iostreams Library
p libboost-iostreams1.46-dev - Boost.Iostreams Library development files
p libboost-iostreams1.46.1 - Boost.Iostreams Library
p libboost-signals-dev - managed signals and slots library for C++ (default version)
p libboost-signals1.42.0 - managed signals and slots library for C++
p libboost-signals1.46-dev - managed signals and slots library for C++
p libboost-signals1.46.1 - managed signals and slots library for C++
p libboost-date-time-dev - date-time libraries based on generic programming (default version)
p libboost-date-time1.42.0 - set of date-time libraries based on generic programming concepts
p libboost-date-time1.46-dev - set of date-time libraries based on generic programming concepts
p libboost-date-time1.46.1 - set of date-time libraries based on generic programming concepts
where p==not installed (go figure). Try installing the most recent versions, and see if those will satisfy your dependencies. If not, you'll probably need to install backports (via, e.g., editing your sources.list).

Wow, that's way above my pay grade. I just remembered I
post I wrote for my blog about meeting the dependencies abut I'm worried about the architecture issues. Of course there's also the little issue about being written for an Ubuntu-based system rather than a Debian-based one. I'll have to see if I can light a fire under the devs at Amazon and see if they can get 64-bit support added.
*don't* Amazon MP3 Downloader in LMDE amd64

After fiddling with this awhile today, I can honestly say, don't even bother trying to install Amazon MP3 Downloader in LMDE amd64--too much work. Don't even install
clamz, although that is trivial since it's in the debian repositories (package=clamz). Unless you're downloading vast quantities, just use a text editor! The .amz files are XML, which hold the *real* download links in <location> elements. Open those links in your browser, and save the resulting mp3's where desired.

You could also use pymazon.
Works well and I've had no issues with in downloading mp3's from Amazon.

Thanks for the recommendation of
pymazon. Do you know if it will snag entire albums from Amazon's Cloud Player? I can get individual songs from the player but albums are going to be a royal pain downloading them that way. Also I'm seeing that pymazon wants to use either pip or cheeseshop. Do we need either of those in LMDE?

I installed PyCrypto (and optionally PyQt4 of PyGtk), then downloaded Pymazon and put it my /home/transitman partiton.
Then I went to that folder and did the following - sudo python setup.py install
Works just fine without all the other stuff.

Sweet. I was going to try that myself when I got a chance. Thanks for the confirmation that it will work.

You actually don't have to install anything. If I open the amz-file with Banshee it automatically downloads the whole album.

That's if you have Banshee installed.
You need to remember that there are folks out there that have their music media player preference and may not like or want Banshee on their systems.

That's true of course. I just assumed (and I still think that is the case) since LMDE installs Banshee by default most people will have it on their system. I am also not using it but I it's still there. But maybe I'm the only one being lazy enough to keep software on my system I am not using

I know this is an old thread, just wondering if the fixes above still work?
I installed the amazon mp3 player with some old libs and it used to work, but now doesn't. Does pyamazon still work?
I'm trying to download complete mp3 albums that I previously purchased at Amazon, but I get the window saying Linux users must download one song at a time, which is a total pain:

I have been moving my entire collection to Google Music which thankfully does support Linux.
