How to tell Amarok which Magnatune albums I have purchased?

Ok, you can try this, but no guarantees that it will work! :-)

you need to create a file  named "ARTIST_NAME - ALBUM_NAME" in
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/magnatune.com/purchases (note the space
before and after the '-' ) with the following contents:

<RESULT>
<DL_USERNAME>  --USERNAME--  </DL_USERNAME>
<DL_PASSWORD>  --PASSWORD--  </DL_PASSWORD>
<DL_PAGE>  --ALBUM_DL_PAGE--  </DL_PAGE>
<URL_WAVZIP>  --URL_TO_WAV--  </URL_WAVZIP>
<URL_128KMP3ZIP>  --URL_TO_128KB_MP3--  </URL_128KMP3ZIP>
<URL_OGGZIP>  --URL_TO_OGG--  </URL_OGGZIP>
<URL_VBRZIP>  --URL_TO_VBR_MP3--  </URL_VBRZIP>
<URL_FLACZIP>  --URL_TO_VBR_FLAC--  </URL_FLACZIP>
<DL_MSG> Any message will work </DL_MSG>
</RESULT>


this info can be harvested from your confirmation email and the
download page it links to. You do not have to add all the format lines
though...


Actually... I do see the value of making a tool for automatically
extracting this info from pre Amarok purchases....
