Have a look at clamz (http://code.google.com/p/clamz). It’s an open-source downloader. If you’re behind a proxy, you’ll need to use the -i commandline option to get the individual download URLs in the AMZ file listed for you. You can then copy-paste the URLs into your browser.

The reason for not having a proxy option in the Amazon downloader is regional restrictions. Currently Amazon only allows downloads in three countries (most probably due to copyright/licensing fee reasons): USA, UK, Germany.
Therefore everybody else is not able to download mp3s at Amazon at all.

Nice and thorough analysis, Keith, as usual. :-)
