I am running Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit). I found that the built-in Amazon MP3 tool in Banshee Media Player works very well.
I also think it’s nasty that Amazon doesn’t update the Ubuntu solution (on their site) that they require.

@bderenorcaine: yeah … but that’s such a hopelessly BRAINDEAD, idiotic, unscalable workflow! If Amazon are stupid enough to design a system like that, I’d rather take my money elsewhere thanks.

@dgf64: thanks for the heads up, I’ll edit the post.

Regarding the redownloading: a quick mail to amazon support will usually fix that. Just say you lost the files and the download will be reenabled just a few minutes later.

Thanks for the alternate method. Mine had worked fine for me until I tried to use it on my Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 install. I’m a heavy banshee user these days so it just wasn’t a big priority to find another work around and I’ve honestly not had the time. You also could take a look at pymazon if you haven’t already. http://code.google.com/p/pymazon/
