There's a bug in bugzilla which also talks about these issues. Maybe you 
can look for it and find more info or shed some more light on it.

Unfortunately, it has been months, if not years, since the last time a 
developer touched the code of the AmazonMP3 plugins. Help is very 
welcome on that side.

It matters a lot. If you told me you were using Banshee 2.2, the first 
thing I would tell you is "upgrade, maybe your issue has been fixed in 
newer versions". 2.6.2 is the last stable one so you're good though.
