I never got the point of fancy dedicated downloaders anyway. It is a DRM-free mp3, why not just have a regular link that uses a session cookie for authentication or whatever? Or better still make it a one-time-use link that expires so that you don't even need to manage the cookie to use wget/etc. Maybe they should check their own AWS service catalog - I'm sure there is something they can use in there. This isn't half as bad as a Google-distributed software package though. I forget which one it was, but it basically bundled the windows version with a copy of wine. And you thought zlib was bad...
