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

[Joel Deutsch]

It seemed to me that the updloader downloaded and isntalled. I cal find it 
right here under my start/programs menus. As I've said. And the Amazon site 
under my account reports these files as all downloaded. From their side it 
looks as if I've been successful. But I can't find the music anywhere on my 
computer.

What do you mean by that dsentence including the word "kinks?" I don't 
understand what you mean by that sentence.

Thank you very much.

When you purchased the album, did you get a download dialog box asking
whether you wanted to open or save the download? If not, there was a link
that said to click it if your download did not begin. If you did get the
dialog asking you to chose to open or save, you need to choose open instead
of save. This activates the amazon mp3 downloader and begins your download
in the background. If you cannot download the file, find out the kink to
contact amazon and you can have amazon call you at the number you specify.
Their mp3 downloads department can then allow you to redownload your
purchased tracks.

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.

Joel
