I have that program and it won't import.

Alot of my music is from over the years before everything went digital. I rip them from CDs I have several artists that aren't available digitally and never will be.

I use MP3tag to fix up problem songs. For Amazon to recognize their purchases from older years you have to make sure the comment filed in the tag is still there with the songs Amazon ID.

Amazon wont try to match anything 320 bitrate or higher. Seeing their music is 256kbps which is okay on some Albums not so okay on others.

I don't know why you can't copy music from your PC to HDX I can without any issues.
I have that program installed but it gives me an error message if I try to import with it and indicates I should use Amazon Song Importer instead. Do you have Amazon Song Importer installed? Maybe that program originates the error messages if one tries to copy songs to the HDX 2013.

However, even with the HD 2012 my "paste" button was grayed out and could not be used with it. Then I used to sync songs using Windows Media Player from the PC to the HD.

Many times I have ended up with TWO copies of a song in the Cloud - one when I purchased it and another from using Amazon Song Importer. Once there, neither can be deleted from the Cloud. I end up with 2 copies on the HDX as well but am able to delete one from the HDX. That may be a bug in the Amazon Song Importer.

One interesting event is, when I Imported "The Blizzard" by Johnnie Cash, which I taped on wire in 1960, Amazon replaced it with the same song from their current Catalog from a Cash Compilation of 16 songs and the quality was upped immensely. The original was moved from wire to tape and then played into a PC where it was converted to MP3.

That upping of the quality happened to many of my songs including songs made in Japan of Vera Lynn from the UK on wire over a short wave in 1942. Its amazing how all the static disappeared on the conversion.

That conversion advantage may be the reason the Amazon Song Importer may be placing those error messages if one tries a direct copy from a PC. I notice the high quality renditions of songs Imported can NOT be downloaded to the PC. One would have to buy them from Amazon to get them. The free sample songs can not be downloaded to the PC either. Maybe that is why Amazon is doing this. It must be increasing their sales of songs.
