Feed Kinoma Player with music from Amazon
When most people think of buying music online, they think of iTunes. But most iTunes music is still encumbered with DRM, which makes it clumsy to use with Kinoma Player. (Read this to learn how to use all of your iTunes purchases with Kinoma Player.)
Happily there are excellent alternatives for buying music that “just work” with Kinoma Player.
Today we’ll use Amazon, which offers a great selection of high-quality (MP3 files at 256 Kbits/sec) music at a reasonable price. Since none of the music is DRM-encumbered, there are no worries about accidentally buying music that needs to be converted before you can take it with you.
To buy digital music from Amazon, go to the Amazon MP3 Downloads store and find something you like.
You’ll be prompted to download the Amazon MP3 Downloader. It’s optional, but it makes it easier to download your music purchases and automatically add them to your favorite PC music manager (iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc.).
Once your downloads are complete, just drag them to your device’s memory card to listen to your new music with Kinoma Player.
That’s all there is to it! In minutes, you can go from just thinking about buying a song or album to listening to it on your phone with Kinoma Player.
