What is a .AMZ file?
The .AMZ file extension is used by a program called Amazon MP3 Downloader. This program was designed to help you download music files, specifically in the .MP3 format, from Amazon's website. The .AMZ file contains special information that tells the Amazon MP3 Downloader to start downloading the MP3 music files you've chosen. This information is saved in a secure way, using something called encrypted XML format, which helps keep the details safe and private.
To open a .AMZ file, you would typically use the Amazon MP3 Downloader program. However, there are also other programs like Clamz that can open .AMZ files. These programs understand the encrypted information inside the .AMZ file and use it to download your MP3 files from Amazon.
If you're trying to download music and it's not starting automatically, you might need to open the .AMZ file yourself with one of these programs to get the download going.
It's important to note that the Amazon MP3 Downloader is no longer available because Amazon launched a new service called Amazon Music in 2016. Amazon Music focuses on streaming music instead of downloading MP3 files. So, if you have .AMZ files, you'll need the specific programs mentioned or look for alternative ways to play or convert your music files.
