My understanding is that those files are not audio files. They are
used by the downloader to get the mp3s from the Amazon mp3 store. I
don't know of any way to get at the mp3 files other than using the
Amazon client to pull them.

Hi all,
Does anybody know if there's anything other than amazonMP3 which will
open .amz files.
Despite what it says in the Amazon MP3 faq:
What does DRM-free mean?
Digital Rights Management or DRM commonly refers to software that
is designed to control or limit how a file can be played, copied,
downloaded, shared, or accessed. DRM-free means that the MP3 files
you purchase from Amazon.com do not contain any software that will
restrict your use of the file.
They don't seem to publish any details of the file format - and the only way
to buy albums is by using their binary only program. Since they have at least
gone to the trouble of porting the program to Linux (and producing a Fedora9
package - I'm currently running Fedora 9) I was **even** prepared to use it,
but trying to install it turned up lots of missing dependencies - it seems
I'd at least need to install a large part of Gnome to get it working.
