Connect to "MY MUSIC" in Amazon music

Post by Kevinowpb »

Has there ever, or is there ever going to be a direct connection to stream "MYMUSIC" from Amazon's servers?

Let me explain why/what I am looking for.

I started using Amazon Music over 10 years ago,.. probably closer to 13 when it started.
I used their feature to "upload all my existing Mp3's", and they would scan them, and match them with songs on their servers, and if i ever needed to download it ... it would actually be a better copy..

I uploaded 250,000 mp3's. They're still up there.
I lost my backup once, and Amazon was kind enough to send me a 5tb drive for free with all my music.

I lost my back up again by theft.. this time they changed their support around, and no longer can do this. Now I can only use their Music "program" and download maybe 100 songs at once, and their app is horrible at maintaining memory to pull all my music let alone me sitting there, and trying to download ALL my music again in bundles of 100, and trying to figure out where I left off. Ive never really gotten to more than 3000 songs back to my own harddrive, without giving up.

So.. If MM could connect to them.... I could "copy to" !! :) and just let MM do its thing... for however many days.
They (Amazon) used to have a Cloud Drive, that was able to be hacked to show my hidden "my music" folder.... and an FTP would be sufficient to.. but I cannot find any other ways.
HELP!

Hi,
I've checked but to our knowledge there is no Amazon Music API that allow third Party apps to access your prime and unlimited library to download and backup your existing library :(

There is also question of legality in downloading 250k tracks of their servers and then trust you to not share them anyway :(

Maybe you could write a little script in your browser to automatically click download on your tracks; again, in bundles of 100?

Amazon freaking sucks, I'm sorry that you're in this predicament.

I uploaded many addons to MM's addon page, but not all of those were created by me. "By drakinite, Submitted by drakinite" means I made it on my own time. "By Ventis Media, Inc., Submitted by drakinite" means it may have been made by me or another MediaMonkey developer, so instead of crediting/thanking me, please thank the team. You can still ask me for support on any of our addons.

That is something that we can't do, it needs to be done by someone else.

if I specify, I only want access to "MY" 250k, and not their unlimited music/"their" music.. would the legalities differ?

Unfortunately you need to ask them. We can't help as Amazon didn't released API for third party apps.
