Ok, I know I am coming from a Windows mindset here, but is the system to purchase Magnatune albums through Amarok safe enough ?
It all seems just too simple! No padlocks, no waiting ages for the page to load etc etc etc.
Does anyone use it regularly ?
Thanks

I wouldn't even consider using it in light of the Amazon MP3 downloader for Linux.

The sheer selection on Amazon is multiple magnitudes greater than the Amarok store.

Not that I have a particular affinity for Amazon - that is, if Magnitune offered as massive a selection as Amazon does, I'd probably use it simply because of it's nice integration with Amarok.

OK, now I'm gonna go back to my position as cheif sale rep for the Amazon Music Department.


Hehehe, j/k

Your doing a bangupjob there AndrewTheArt - you deserve to be promoted to CEO of Amazon Music for Linux :)

Seriously tough thanks for the input and I intend to use that, but Magnatune offer music from unsigned acts and it was some of them I was wanting to buy.
