Step 2. Create association of Amazon MP3 Downloader with AMZ files

Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AMZ file with the Amazon MP3 Downloader program.

Step 3. Update Amazon MP3 Downloader to the latest version

If, however, after binding Amazon MP3 Downloader with Amazon MP3 Downloader Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Amazon.com, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AMZ file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AMZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AMZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AMZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AMZ file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AMZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Amazon help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AMZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AMZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AMZ to close. However, some background programs may block the AMZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
