Dear Anne, it´s not a player. Amazon.com charges one price per individual
tracks, and a MUCH LOWER price for a whole album.
The sad truth is that you can´t buy a WHOLE ALBUM unless you use their
"plug-in" which just creates a folder and downloads the files there.

Apparently all is to hide the URLs used to store full albums. Probably
someone is worried about evil haxxors getting to know their md5sum used to
name hidden folders where the full cds are stored, or something along these
lines.
