amz downloader

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Yes, the only way I was able to get some music I bought from Amazon
was to download it onto my Android phone! and then move it from my
phone to my hard drive via USB. Really unfriendly.

They want everything on their Amazon Cloud storage now, and only allow
downloading one file at a time. Googling tells me that if you tart up
your browser to appear as "IE" you can download right to your HD.
