When buying electronic music from Amazon, one is required to
download a so-called .amz-file, which in essence is a download
list. This file is necessary to conduct the download of purchased
music, for which a propriatary program from Amazon is required.
This program is available for Windows and Ubuntu Linux, but not
for FreeBSD. net/clamz redresses that situation.
However, before being able to download the .amz, one is required
to install said propriatary program, which sets a cookie that
allows to download amz-files. This is infeasible for users of
FreeBSD.
On the project site of net/clamz, an alternative to downloading
said program is presented, which in essence is an alternative way
to have aformentioned cookie set.

download MP3 files from Amazon.com's music
store. It is intended to serve as a
substitute for Amazon's official MP3
Downloader, which is not free software
(and therefore is only available in binary
form for a limited set of platforms.)
Clamz can be used to download either individual
songs or complete albums that you have purchased
from Amazon.
