[gui-talk] Can't find Amazon mp3 downloaded album on my hard drive

[Joel Deutsch]

For the first time, I purchased a digital album from Amazon today. I had to 
download and install the Amazon mp3 Downloader, which I did successfully, 
and then I bought the album and I guess it downloaded, though I didn't see 
any sort of dialogue on the screen (I'm partial).

Now, before I say more, let me say that before I made this purchase, I went 
into the amazon mp3 downloader Preferences and changed two things:

1. I changed the download destination from their default, which is a sub sub 
sub directory under Documents and Setting/Admin blah blah blah, to a simple 
folder that I'd created on my hard drive, called c:/my music. This isn't the 
"my music" folder that I've noticed up above the C drive under My documents, 
whatever all that's about. I don't go up there (I use Windows Explorer and 
that's why I think of it as "up there") and have no idea what that stuff is. 
This is Win XP Home, by the way.

Now, I've gone into my account on Amazon and looked up my recent purchase 
history specifically of digital downloads. And there it is, a record of my 
having downloeded this album, with all its tracks listed. A fait accomplis, 
it would seem.

but no, I can't find the album, its tracks, or the folder Amazon mp3 
anywhere on my hard drive, including under c:/my music. Huh? I've looked and 
look, using the Search. No luck at all.

BTW, the other item I changed in Preferences was to disable the option of 
having the downloader put such files into my Windows Media Player playlist 
or library or hwatever that is. I don't know how to use that sort of thing. 
I just wanted to find the files themselves in a folder, click on them, and 
play them in Winamp.

To anyone for whom the above is clear, can you advise?as I say, the record 
at the Amazon site confirms that I've downloaded this material, but I can't 
find it on my computer, no way.

Help me before I lose my mind. I mean the rest of my mind. It's only a few 
bucks, but I really wanted to listen to the album.

thanks. Hope I made good enough sense here.
