How can I download all songs from my Amazon Cloud Drive?
The web interface doesn't provide a Select All feature, and there isn't an Amazon Cloud API like the S3 API. There is the Amazon MP3 Downloader, but that only downloads songs that you select from the web interface.
I've been thinking about using a mouse-clicking script (Automator or Python on OSX), but just wanted to check if anyone else determined a solution before I get to work.
You can install Amazon Cloud Player for PC and download your songs from it.
C:\Users\<yourusername>\My Music\Amazon MP3.

~/Music/Amazon MP3. iTunes should then automatically index it.
The easiest method was to use Gladinet to mount my Amazon Cloud Drive in Windows, which allowed me to Ctrl-A and drag-and-drop from File Explorer. The starter edition (free) of Gladinet limits you to "1000 items per task" (I think that means copying 1000 items at a time).
While this is a bit of a dated question, Amazon now has a Cloud Drive App that allows you to select your entire music folder from the Cloud Drive (NOT the Cloud Player) view. You access it similarly to the Cloud PLayer - from the drop down menu at the upper right of the amazon.com page. I haven't seen this functionality advertised anywhere, but it works pretty well. Be patient while it sets things up!
Unfortunately, it looks like you're stuck with the Amazon MP3 Downloader. Currently it only supports the downloading of 500 songs at a time and there is no direct Amazon API, so your best bet is probably to create a script. Hope your script works out!
I tried everything to download my 4000 songs, and this is the only method that worked:
Open Amazon Music application
Change preferences to use one download thread
Choose Cloud view
Choose Artists view
Select one artist square
Press Ctrl+A
Right-click and choose Download
After it completed, I had one song unable to download. I just had to redownload that one song.
I used the JSShell extension to run some checkbox-clicking javascript>
$("[type='checkbox'][itemtype='song']")
.each(function(idx, elem)
{
if (!elem.checked)
elem.click();
});
I needed to scroll down manually, and run it a few times, in order to get all the checkboxes checked.
Actually I was able to select everything in the Cloud MP3 app by just using Ctrl-A Then dragging everything over to the "download" space.
Of course this just dumps it in the default windows "Music" folder, but I can move it from there.
To download all music via Amazon Music Player:
A side note you can also set the maximum number of simultaneous downloads in the settings. For large libraries being restored over large down stream connections, setting this to the max (6) is preferable.
The settings also let you choose an alternate location to download to. To see where this is and/or change it:
In the distant future (year 2020), using Firefox, selecting the song at the top of the list, scrolling down, and then SHIFT-click on the checkbox to select the song at the bottom of the list selects all, up to a maximum of 500 at a time. However, you can only actually download less than that (I did 200 at a time)--it will look like it works, but then you receive a blank dialog and no download.
I recommend working in a playlist so the songs are numbered and you can easily select 200 at a time.
