Install Amazon MP3 Downloader On 64-bit Intrepid Ibex
Amazon provides a download for Intrepid Ibex, but it only works for 32-bit installs. What’s a 64-bitter to do? Fortunately, this has been solved by a few folks.
- Download the Amazon MP3 Downloader (for Ubuntu 8.10): http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd.html/ref=sv_dmusic_3
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture amazonmp3.deb- Download http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.debsudo getlibs /usr/bin/amazonmp3sudo apt-get install lib32nss-mdns(I already had this installed.)
After you install, you have to click a link to tell Amazon that you have it installed, and it’ll probably try to open it in your web browser, and fail. Go to Edit, Preferences, Applications tab, and you should see an entry for AmazonMP3 download queue. Under Action, pull down the drop down and select “Use other…”, and browse to {{{/usr/bin/amazonmp3}}}. That should do it.

Nifty, thanks!
I had tried the instructions here, but those didn’t work for me because they were missing the bit about lib32nss-mdns. Installing that did the trick.
