I love this! Absolutely great! The eMusic download manager was getting on my nerves, and combined with the stupidity that is Firefox’s file handling I drove me crazy, and soon I can enjoy my music experience. Awesome!

Perhaps the package containing the plugin could ship the MIME type info in a file used by shared-mime-info by placing it in /usr/share/mime/packages. Many other applications are doing this as well, e.g. seahorse and brasero, the latter closely matching what you describe here.

(I don’t read follow-ups on this post — please mail me instead, thanks!)

Oh hum, OK!
I would like to have Banshee handle EMX files by default, but they have no special mime content-type besides application/xml. Any ideas?

Probably easy, maybe we will make another extension for that. Or expand the current one. I never downloaded music from Amazon..

It was purchased, it’s a Banshee extension. It uses the eMusic EMX file to download all the tracks directly to Banshee.

Oh that’s sexy. I hope no one will mind if I try implementing that for Rhythmbox too!

Nice work!

What would it take to integrate support for Amazon’s AMZ format, via clamz or similar?

but how?

I mean, you downloaded a free sample? or was it a purchase? and did you modify banshee to handle this??
