In order to get the libraries, we need to run the getlibs script:Īt this point the application should be "good to go" and able to download MP3 albums from Amazon MP3 Downloads. This will install the package, it will be placed under /usr/bin/amazonmp3, however at this time it won't run properly because of missing libraries. Once getlibs is installed, the Amazon MP3 Downloader needs to be installed, passing a parameter to ignore the architecture difference: Simply clicking on the link results in the package opening in GDebi, it should install without issues. In summary, what I had to do to install the Amazon MP3 Downloader under 64 bit Ubuntu was to get getlibs from.
Getlibs is a script that downloads any missing libraries for any installed package. I googled around to see if there was a way to install 32 bit packages under 64 bit Ubuntu, I ran into getlibs. The deb package available on Amazon is for i386, and I run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu Linux. The only version of Ubuntu they support is Gutsy Gibbon, which is two versions behind the latest, Intrepid Ibex.įeeling brave, I tried to install the Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Amazon MP3 Downloader under Intrepid Ibex, unfortunately the installer failed, telling me that the architecture was wrong. They have a few Linux versions for Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. When downloading individual songs in Amazon, no special software is needed, however, the Amazon MP3 downloader is needed to download complete albums. Today while browsing Amazon I ran into some MP3 downloads for some songs I hadn't heard in about 20 years, the good stuff that I thought had dissappeared, I, of course, became very eager to add these songs to my collection. It seemed like the really good music from that era had just but disappeared. Unfortunately, it seems most of the 80's compilation CDs out there made a conscious effort to find the suckiest songs of the 80's and put them together in a CD.
Being a child of the 80's, I love listening to music I grew up with.
