Downloading MP3s from Amazon

Question

I downloaded an MP3 from Amazon. The .amz file went to the stacks Download folder. When I dbl click the file, iTunes opens but the song is nowhere to be found. I have the "amazon mp3 downloader app". The original .amz file is still on my desktop. Tried downloading another MP3 song; same thing happens...song doesn't appear in iTunes anywhere.
One of my playlists is "M3U Internet Stream"; I think that's Amazon downloads...but it's empty.
Running iTunes 10.1. I've downloaded several songs from Amazon in the past. Didn't have this problem until recently.

There doesn't appear to be any pattern to this, but when I am downloading new MP3s into iTunes (9.0.2) either from Amazon or eMusic, some of them come in normally and some of them come in without allowing me to edit any of the song information. This can happen even within one album, when all the songs are arriving in the library during the same download session. And yet some allow editing and some don't.
When I right-click on Get Info for either the album's folder or any of the individual files having this problem, it still tells me that I can read and write, under Ownership & Permissions.
Anyone have any ideas how to re-establish editing capability under these circumstances?
actually, i started a thread sometime ago about that exact same problem - with no result. in the end i waited it out and, since upgrading to iTunes 9.x, all is back to normal. no help to you at this point but ... just so you know you're not alone.
what you can try (and i did not at the time - so your milage may vary) is this by *Chris CA*
+Quit iTunes.+
+Open a Finder window.+
+Go to \Music\ folder.+
+Right click the \iTunes\ folder and Get info.+
+Go to the Sharing & Permissions tab.+
+Make sure your username has Read & Write privileges.+
+Directly below are ( + ) and ( - ) signs next to a little gear with a down arrow+
+Click the gear and select Apply to enclosed items.+
+Open iTunes then try again.+
does that work for you ?
