The Amazon Link in MC 15 defaults to (MP3 downloads), is it possible to change this to (Music).  The Artist name is correct?

Cheers Craig

I don't believe the default Amazon link can be modified. It's a special link that uses your local Amazon site. You can, however, replace it with a regular link that uses whatever search you like. I suggest you go to the particular Amazon search page you want to use (e.g., "Music" instead of "MP3 Downloads"), select Advanced search, and then enter an example of the kind of search you would like to do. When satisfied with the results, copy the resulting URL. This one, for example, searches for ABBA's first album...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_adv_m_pop/?search-alias=popular&unfiltered=1&field-keywords=Ring+Ring&field-artist=ABBA&field-title=&field-label=&field-binding=&sort=relevancerank&Adv-Srch-Music-Album-Submit.x=29&Adv-Srch-Music-Album-Submit.y=13

I'm not sure what all that means, but if I shorten it to...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_adv_m_pop/?search-alias=popular&field-keywords=Ring+Ring&field-artist=ABBA&sort=relevancerank

...it seems to work just as well. So from this, the link...

Code: [Select]

<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">Amazon Album</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Audio]</Item>
<Item Name="Action">2</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://www.amazon.com</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////www.amazon.com//gp//search//ref=sr_adv_m_pop//?search-alias=popular&amp;field-keywords=Hexify([Album])&amp;field-artist=Hexify([Artist])&amp;sort=relevancerank</Item>
</Link>
If this works for you, or can be modified to do so, copy this and use Paste link information from clipboard in Manage Links to add it.

Thanks Rick, I'll give it a go.
