moderated Amazon problem?

Andrew J. LaPointe
Hello All, I spent an hour yesterday trying to buy a song on Amazon's
website. Amazon search came up with what I wanted but couldn't get to the buy now or whatever it says to purchase the song. I had no problems last year but now, I am using jaws 22 and windows 11 along with office 365 if that makes a difference. Is there a way to trick the screen to find the button that will allow me to purchase? Thanks so much. Andy and Leroy Andrew J.

I have found that the bit rate you get when buying it from Amazon is no
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
better than you can get from using a youtube downloader utility. I would expect at least 220 bit rate, if not 320 bit after paying for a song. 320 bit is what you get from a CD if you have your rip settings set correctly. By default, the rip settings are usually at 128, which is horrible, and once they are ripped at 128, you cannot just go in and change the bit rate of a file, you are just making a high quality recording of a poor sounding file.

The last one I bought was 128 bit, about a year or two back, and I gave it a

poor review for the low quality. Maybe other people complained if Amazon had started using lower bit rates, and went back to better bit rates. But having stated that, I still think you should get a better quality than you can get from Youtube. Glenn

The song is available for listening on Amazon Music Unlimited. With 70 mil titles available there, I cannot imagine why anyone still buys music. I know I don't.

just curious. How much do you pay per song or album you buy. I think back to all the 45s, lps, cassettes, cds I've bought over the years and eventually discarded -- thousands upon thousands of dollars listened to for a few times and generally later only occasionally touched. I didn't discover the beauty of services such as Amazon Music Unlimited until I got a couple of Echo devices 3 or so yrs back. I've listened to more music in the last couple of years than I did for the previous 2-3 decades when, most of my listening, was via radio stations first over the air and then internet. I just don't see the necessity of owning music any longer given the convenience of a service for around $100 a yr or so. And I can call up whatever I want when I want it; use playlists; structured requests, and so on. I just wish someone had knocked me in the head telling me of these music services yrs and yrs ago and getting me to pay attention.

One of these days I'll get out all my Time-Life CDs and store-bought CDs and

rip the music from them. I refuse to pay again for the media in another format. When I do buy one in electronic format from somewhere like Amazon, it's because it came out after the peak of the CD music era. And when I can get it from Youtube in as good or better quality than Amazon.com, I'll go with the free option. Glenn
