Hello

just wondering if anyone has had this problem

basically every now and then i like to have a manual rummage around on my hard drives to make sure there is nothing taking up space that has not been auto uninstalled ect. i had a look in my /Local folder and found amazon music player in there, found a temp folder with 6gig of temp music files in it!! WTF i have had a look at the settings in the player, but can not see any options to disable it?

i've never used the full amazon player software. i just use the mp3 downloader which you can get here...

you can specify where downloads go and obviously the only files that get downloaded are the ones you select manually in your browser.

i like using the full software as i can play from the cloud, and dont need the music on pc in the 1st place, but it still seems to be creating temp music files

i suppose the reason it does that is to save bandwidth - not just for you but them as well. if there is no option to clear the cache or set a limit then i guess you could try deleting the folder manually and hoping you don't break the program.

completely defeats the object of using it as a could service, if it is going download the file still :S

the same bandwidth gets used whether the file is saved or not. and you would have to agree it would be madness to re-download the file 10 times if you chose to to listen to the same track 10 times in a row.

why not just download all your music and be done with it?
