download album covers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks for providing a FOSS-alternative to the quirky Amazon-downloader which 
does not install cleanly under 64bit!

It works very well here, just missing cover download from Amazon - I want to 
burn the songs to CD for older players and as a backup, so the original cover 
artwort that Amazon provides for albums should also be downloaded.

Sorry I was wrongly assuming that Amazon offered printable album art for MP3 
albums, 
but unfortunately only iTunes cover-art is provided, so this feature is not 
possible 
to implement at the moment...

Yeah, there are image URLs provided in the amz file, but as far as I'm aware, 
these
are the same (low-resolution) images that you see on the Amazon web site 
itself.  So
no, not much use for printing out, but I suppose they might still be handy if 
you
wanted to build a graphical browser for your music collection.  I could 
certainly add
this feature if there's any interest.

can we retrofit this issue into making clamz aware of the new digital booklets 
available for some Amazon MP3 albums, like Massive Attack's Heligoland?
These special MP3 albums include a PDF with cover art and booklet, so they do 
listen to their customers after all... (I complained about missing cover 
images:)

Actually, clamz already supports those files.  It's just Amazon's web site 
that's broken; I can't figure out any way to download the "deluxe" albums 
without manually tweaking my browser cookies.  Specifically, you need to set 
the cookie 'dmusic_download_manager_enabled' to '1.0.9' (instead of the usual 
'on' or '1.0.3'.)

If you try to download one of these albums without having the correct cookie 
set, you'll be told that you need to upgrade your Amazon MP3 Downloader 
(there's a link you can click on, indicating "I've already upgraded", but it 
doesn't work.)  There must be *some* way to persuade Amazon's servers to send 
you the correct cookie, but I haven't found it.

Instead, be sure that you have Javascript enabled, then go to Amazon's home 
page.  While you're looking at Amazon's home page, type the following into your 
URL bar:

  javascript:document.cookie='dmusic_download_manager_enabled=1.0.9; expires=Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:00:00 UTC; path=/; domain=.amazon.com'

You should then be able to purchase "deluxe" albums.  I haven't tested them 
very thoroughly, however.  I also have no idea whether this works or is 
necessary for Amazon's non-US sites.

I would appreciate it if you could add downloading album art to clamz.
