Sync Amazon mp3's to nano 2g

Some of the files synce,m but others -- on the SAME album!! - do not. I also don't know how to use a copy and paste, becasue this doesn't work either. When I try to drag and drop all I get is ia red crossed cicle.

The red circle means that the files are not compatile with the iPod or there is something wrong with the files themselves. Do these same files play okay in iTunes?

Amazon MP3 files won't sync in Smart Playlist

For the last couple weeks my Amazon MP3 files are in iTunes, sync to iPod but won't sync in Smart Playlist. iPod Touch 5, iOS 7.0.4
My entire library is MP3. I keep no AAC files and very few iTunes songs because it is an additional step to convert them. My songs are used on multiple devices, including Android and I have a fear of commitment. It isn't that I don't trust Apple (okay it is) but I don't trust anyone. I'm against proprietary anything. If I couldn't keep it in MP3 I wouldn't have an iPod.
I bought an album and several songs and they sync to the iPod but not to any created Smart Playlist. It is kinda weird. I changed the list to only an hour and that made the list entirely the new songs but when I did the sync to my iPod Touch 5, different songs were there. Same number of songs, same display of time. When I look in iTunes under iPod, it says the correct songs are synced. The iPod itself tells a different story.
The songs are on the iPod. I can find them individually and play them, no problem. The Smart Playlist is for songs not played in the last 30 days, better than 3 Star rating. I deleted the Smart Playlist and created an new one with a different name from scratch, same result.
What gives?

[Request] Amazon MP3 Downloader

Amazon has released a Linux version of the Amazon MP3 Downloader program. It allows you to purchase and download entire albums of DRM-free MP3s at a discount over buying the MP3s one at a time.
They've only packaged it for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE. As far as I can tell, you have to go to the above URL and check the box to accept their terms of use before you can download it.
I tried creating my own PKGBUILD, but I'm not having much luck understanding exactly what goes where. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's what I managed to put together so far by digging stuff out of the Debian version amazonmp3.deb file:
pkgname=amazonmp3
pkgver=1.0.2-1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Amazon MP3 Downloader - Use the Amazon MP3 Downloader to download albums from http://www.amazonmp3.com"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

The control file inside the .deb file is as follows:

Here is the problem I am running into
It doesn't seem to work on Arch64.
./amazonmp3: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
If you run Arch64, the amazonmp3 package in AUR will build, install and run nicely in a chrooted Arch32 setup (see instructions here).
Even though they're not releasing their source and they're not offering a 64-bit Linux version of their mp3 downloader, I agree that Amazon is worth supporting, since their mp3s are DRM-free.
When I've wanted to buy an album, which requires the Amazon downloader, I've previously been doing it under Windows, then just copying the files to my Linux filesystem. Using the chrooted Arch32 approach, I can buy Amazon mp3 albums without leaving home (i.e., without leaving Arch).

Amazon MP3 Uploader will not install - Does anyone know how to fix this?

I wanted to play around with the new Amazon Cloud. I want to try and upload many of my itunes songs to teh cloud and test it out.
When I download the Amazon MP3 Uploader it downlaods just fine. When I click it to install, it does nothing.
I deleted this download and re-downloaded it multiple times. It does the same thing.
Has anyone been able to install this on their MAC? I have a Mac Book Pro with Lion.
thanks,

yes. without any issues.

ITunes refuses to import Amazon MP3 album, claims permissions won't allow me. What?

I download through Amazon MP3.
I downloaded Muse's album and imported that into iTunes just fine, but for whatever reason, when I downloaded the Black Keys album El Camino it refuses to play ball.
I get "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this."
Now, I did a permissions repair with Onyx, and even checked all the folders to make sure the permissions wasn't weirdly set, but nothing is wrong with those folders. They're not locked at all.
I can play the song files when I press space bar or even in things like VLC, but iTunes refuses to play ball for some reason. Is this an iTunes problem or Amazon? And if you could possibly point me to a forum post that is this exact problem I'd love you forever as I'm about to go on a cross-country road trip and would really love to play some Black Keys.

That's a workaround, but it doesn't really solve the mystery. Ordinarily, when you add music to your library, iTunes will create a directory with the Artist name and a subdirectory with the Album name. My guess is there's something weird about one of these fields, perhaps an unprintable character that you can't see, and when it tries to create the directories it fails (maybe I was too hasty in not blaming Amazon!). It might even be one of the individual song names.
If you're happy with this solution, fine, but if you want to track it down, I'd try this;
- select all the songs, do (right-click->get info)
- Delete and reenter the Artist and Album names. Make sure you clear the whole field
and don't use cut and paste.
- reenable the copy and manage options
- Try dragging the songs in again.
- If that doesn't work, try dragging one at a time to see if a particular song is causing the problem.
- If that's the case, check the fields for that song, and maybe reenter the title.
Note, if this works, you'll end up with two copies of everything, and you'll have to delete the one that wasn't copied.
In any event, I'd reenable the copy and manage options, so future music will be correctly copied.

Downloading music using Amazon MP3

I've been downloading music on my Blackberry curve 9320 using Amazon MP3 for a few months. now all of a sudden it won't let me download anything. Keeps giving me an error message 'your order could not be processed'. Amazon website says to review my account settings which I've done and they all seem ok, nothings changed?!

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.

There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation.

ITunes freeze when I'm trying to sync podcast on my iPod nano 6th generation

Hello,
when I'm trying to sync podcasts on my iPod nano 6th gen. from iTunes 10.6 iTunes freeze, and i close it from Forcing exit.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Itunes will not import Amazon mp3s

I purchased an album of mp3s from Amazon. The files are .mp3 with no DRM. The files play perfectly in Windows Media Player on an XP and Vista PC. At first, the Amazon program copied them into iTunes and they played fine, but in the last few months these files have stopped playing in iTunes. I tried deleting them from iTunes and recopying them, but iTunes will not reimport these files.
The files are .mp3 with no DRM.
The files play in Windows Media Player on my XP and Vista Machine.
iTunes used to play these files.
iTunes now will NOT play these songs.
I have tried dragging them into the library and importing them, but nothing works.
I have reinstalled iTunes on both computers.
Any ideas on why these files won't work other than the conspiracy that Apple will not play mp3s purchased from Amazon?

I now have a second album that iTunes has removed from the library. Again, these mp3s are DRM-free Amazon mp3s that play on any other system and software program except iTunes.
I can burn these mp3s to a CD and then reimport into iTunes, but that is ridiculous. iTunes should allow users to import mp3s from any legal source. Or, if they are going to refuse to play mp3s from sources other than iTunes, they should be honest about that fact.
Why will iTunes no longer play mp3s from Amazon?

Amazon MP3 Downloader for OS X 10.3?

Does anyone know if there is a version of the Amazon.com MP3 Downloader for OS X 10.3? Their website says only 10.4 and higher is supported. If there isn't an older version that supports 10.3, is there a workaround?

is there a workaround?
There's an [Amazon MP3 FAQ page|http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200154210&#down loader] which contains the following:
Do I need to install the Amazon MP3 Downloader to buy music?
If you choose not to use the Amazon MP3 Downloader, you can buy and download individual songs only and must completely download each song you buy before buying another song.
To cancel Downloader installation when prompted, choose "Skip installation and continue." Please also choose "Save" when prompted to download the .mp3 file by your Web browser and wait for the .mp3 file to download completely before buying another song. Choosing "Open" will start your default media player but will not save the file to your computer.

Amazon MP3 Cloud Drive

Hello, I recently downloaded some songs off Amazon on my PC. I stored all the song to their Cloud Drive so I could stream them through my HTC Incredible. When I open the Amazon MP3 app, the new songs are there but won't play. It doesn't seem to matter if I am on Wi-Fi or the Verizon Network. If I let it sit long enough(20-40min) it will eventually play one song. If you wanna hear another, it will continue to "think" or "buffer". Any ideas?

Your saying it works slightly better when downloaded on the phone rather off a PC??? OR That I should just download it and save it to the phone???
