Amazon MP3 Downloader installation for Ubuntu 64 Bit

I’ve used Amazon’s MP3 store from time-to-time.  I have a subscription to eMusic.com but for new stuff or more mainstream Amazon seems to be the place to get it, well, if I can’t find it locally at my used CD store that is.

Installing the Amazon MP3 down loader on a 64 bit system requires a bit of doing.  To benefit myself and maybe some others here’s what I did with help from the Ubuntu Forums.

First, I installed the proper Amazonmp3 package on my system.

sudo dpkg --install --force-architecture amazonmp3.deb

Then I installed the getlibs package from Cappy in the Ubuntu forums.  See this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790&highlight=getlibs.

 sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb

Next use the getlibs to install missing dependancies.

 sudo getlibs /usr/bin/amazonmp3

Finally to make amazonmp3 able to access the internet I had to install lib32nss-mdns

 sudo aptitude install lib32nss-mdns

After all that it works for me, there are free alternatives out there, but for now this works for me so I’ll use it.
