            Bug ID: 315928
           Summary: Amazon MP3 Store module does not work in Germany any
                    more
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.7.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Services/Amazon MP3 Store
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org

The Amazon MP3 Store module does not work in Germany any more: You can search
for and select tracks, can click the Buy button and are forwarded to the Amazon
web site. There you can finish your order, but afterwards you're given no
option to actually download your new MP3s. The MP3s also do not appear in
Amazons cloud player.

(BTW: Before buying, I clicked the link presented by Amarok which said that it
would enable downloader support at Amazon and it would be easier to fetch the
tracks after buying. I don't know, if this was rgiht or wrong or irrelevant to
my problem...)

I phoned the Amazon support and the guy at the other end told me (without me
telling him I used a third party application before) that apparently I somehow
managed to use an outdated way to order the MP3s which is no longer supported
by Amazon at least in Germany. (He suspected I might have had the MP3s on my
watchlist for quite a while before actually buying them. I then told him I used
a third party application which he said would require an update then.)

The support guy asked me to order the MP3s again using the web site and
canceled my previous order.

Apparently, MP3s now need to be downloaded from the Cloud Player, and for this
to work the shop system (at least) uses new internal order numbers.

The order numbers assigned to the order initiated by Amarok started with
"028-..." while the order numbers of my new order using the web site started
with "D...".

Sorry if this description is a bit wishy-washy, but as I've no idea how
Amarok's MP3-ordering feature is implemented technically I cannot give better
details. If something is still unclear, feel free to ask.

If I was just too stupid to use it correctly, also feel free to tell me or to
point me to the fine manual, if there is any I missed. :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search tracks in the Amazon MP3 Store plugin.
2. Put these tracks into your shopping basket.
3. Click "Buy", click the link to enable downloader support at Amazon and
complete your order at the web shop. (BTW, my default browser which opened is
Chromium.)
Actual Results:  
The order will be completed but you will not be given any option to actually
download your MP3s.

Expected Results:  
There should be a way to download the MP3s after buying them.

No idea what additional information might be helpful - just ask if something is
missing.
