Free music from an Amazon MP3 store bug?
An interesting possible bug I just discovered in the new Amazon MP3 Store.
This morning I launched my browser and after doing some light reading, headed over to Daring Fireball and read the latest by Mr. Gruber regarding the Amazon store. Curious, I popped over and browsed the selection.
I decided, after hearing Mark Ronsons latest featuring Lily Allen, to take the plunge and buy her album.
I forgot, however, that the cookie in Firefox is my ‘work’ info. So I ended up clicking through, downloading the ‘Downloader’ application and purchasing the music on that account (that’s coming out of my check, sigh).
After checking out the app and determining how to change the download location, I decided to buy another track to make sure it went to the new folder I had specified in preferences. This time, however, I launched Flock, which has my ‘personal’ cookie stored.
I bought the song and was prompted to download the player again. Hmm. It’s either that or download the single as a file, thus negating my Downloader app test.
So I downloaded the app and ran through the installer(again). After it finished installing, it popped open Firefox (which had been hidden) and prompted me to download ‘Energy’, by ‘The Apples In Stereo’. This was not the track I had just purchased though (I admit it, it was Feists ‘1234’…sue me, it’s catchy.).
Thinking it was just a mistake and that it would error out, I clicked ‘Download’. To my surprise, the Downloader grabbed the file and put it in my iTunes library (and the folder I had specified, incidentally).
I went back to Flock and was at the ‘Download the installer’ screen still. Interesting…so i clicked the back button and was again given the choice to download only the file, which I did. It came down the pipes without an issue.
Granted, the ‘Apples in Stereo’ song is currently free, but the weirdness of it taking me back to ‘browser 1′ and prompting me to download it still seems a bit strange.
So, a rather interesting and possibly exploitable bug in the system, or just a fluke? I don’t have the cash to test it over and over, but I’d be interested in hearing how anyone out there might test this fascinating little glitch.
