This is true. The problem is there is no correct way of accessing the
Amazon MP3 store data, and no way to properly integrate (browsing,
checkout, download) into Amarok. Reverse Engineering the AMZ format is
an idea, but if Amazon changed something small entire versions of
Amarok w/ Amazon would suddenly breakI don't see any real way of
integrating checkout (including payment) into Amarok.

We should either due things through the proper channels, or confine
any Amazon service to a scripted service/plugin.

Just my thoughts.

Casey.
