I added –force-architecture. Without that the second deb install failed on my system.

It's not clear what additional steps you added. Nonetheless, I have no problem with you posting on your blog so long as you adhere to the Licence.

Thanks very much for this! I’ve wrapped everything up (along with an addition of –force-architecture I had to make to one step) here to make things a bit clearer (hopefully): http://dancingpenguinsoflight.com/2010/12/amazon-mp3-downloader-on-64-bit-ubuntu/

I had the same problem on jaunty with amazonmp3 not being able to connect. This worked (I did not look into how it worked):

sudo aptitude install lib32nss-mdns

Thanks, worked great for me once I installed getlibs. A few other nice things – when you try to download an album, Firefox will ask you what app to open it with. You can point it to /usr/bin/amazonmp3 and tell it to always use it to get the downloads to start automatically. In my install, it writes the files to ~/Music/Amazon MP3, and Rhythmbox even picks them up automatically if you have it configured to place music files in ~/Music and watch for new files. So it should be one click from Amazon to Rhythmbox.

Guess what? You’re absolutely right. I just tried it again, and it worked. All the extra stuff you had me do must have accomplished something. Before I talked to you I had only forced installation of amazonmp3.deb and run getlibs. That wasn’t enough. Nothing would download.

I still wonder why it seems to be looking for some libraries in /usr/lib/…

Guess what? When I run amazonmp3 from the command line I get:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so

However, it runs and it works! I’ll dig a little deeper when I get a spare moment.

Well, I did absolutely everything that’s been suggested. amazonmp3 is still looking for those libraries in /usr/lib/… I still get the following error messages.
—-

Maybe the fact that I’m running a 64-bit Intel machine is the relevant difference?

Thanks for your post. Whilst I’d previously installed lib32nss-mdns I didn’t need libboost-signals and libboostiostreams to run amazonmp3 successfully (not sure why you would the need Boost C++ libraries.)
