<title>Amazon MP3 Store</title>
<p><app>Banshee</app> supports downloading and importing music from the
Amazon MP3 store. You can manually import Amazon music files, purchase music
in your web browser or buy music inside of <app>Banshee</app>. Amazon only
offers music for sale as an MP3 in certain countries and depending on your
location, you may not be able to buy Amazon MP3s.</p>
<note style="important">
<p><app>Banshee</app> uses an Amazon affiliate code for all music
purchases. All money made via this affiliate code is donated to the GNOME
Foundation.</p>
</note>
<section id="amazon-browser">
<title>Purchase Amazon MP3s in your web browser</title>
<p>Music purchased from Amazon's MP3 store can be automatically downloaded
and imported into <app>Banshee</app>. <app>Banshee</app> associates itself
with the .amz file Amazon provides for MP3 purchases. When you buy music on
Amazon, your web browser will download the .amz file and <app>Banshee</app>
will automatically open it and begin the download and import the music.</p>
</section>
<section id="amazon-banshee">
<title>Buy Amazon MP3s in <app>Banshee</app></title>
<p>You can also search for songs on Amazon within <app>Banshee</app>. Choose
the Amazon MP3 Store from the <app>Banshee</app> menu on the left. This will
load the Amazon MP3 Store just as if you were in a web browser. You can
search Amazon for the music you wish to buy and after logging in to Amazon,
buy music with one click. <app>Banshee</app> will automatically download and
import your purchase into the library. </p>
</section>
<section id="amazon-manual">
<title>Import Amazon MP3s manually</title>
<p>When music is purchased from Amazon in a web browser, a file with the
extension .amz is downloaded and saved to your hard drive. To import music
purchased manually from Amazon, in <app>Banshee</app> choose
<guiseq><gui style="menu">Media</gui>
<gui style="menuitem">Import Media</gui></guiseq>
from the menu and select the *.amz file to be imported. <app>Banshee</app>
will then open this file and connect to the Amazon MP3 store to begin the
download.</p>
<note style="warning">
<p>Amazon .amz files are only active for a short time. If you do not
download your music quickly, the file will expire and you cannot download
your music from Amazon. Amazon does not publish how long files are active.
It is recommended you download and import any purchases from Amazon within
an hour of purchase.</p>
