Rumor is that discs bought through these links are somehow better than those from normal links.  Some say they're sharper, others that the sound is a teensy bit clearer.  One disturbed looking gentleman even claimed they cured his rheumatism.

One thing's certain though, they do support the site.


Now that I could use a cure for rheumatism.

The links should go to all the different amazon sites automatically, based on locality.  Here's what it looks like in 3.8:


That's cool.

Are those links generated at Profiler startup or not until you click the Amazon icon?

The amazon product id lookup occurs once globally on the server the first time it is accessed, matching by UPC.  If a link isn't found it will periodically recheck.  The page displayed comes from Amazon, and goes to the matched product.

Nice feature, however I would like the link to open in a new tab/window instead of the current browser window, thanks!

A workaround is to right click over the link and choose to open it in a new tab.

A workaround is to left click over the link and choose to open it in a new tab.


For those that have the mouse in their right hands it's a right-click.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

That too. I actually use both methods, and thus it's easy to confuse describing one method via left/right.

For Ken: I am in Switzerland, there is no Amazon in Switzerland. I buy all in Germany at Amazon.de. Will that work when my DVDProfiler has Locality Switzerland, gettin Amazon.de as we have none in Switzerland?

It is the DVD (UPC/EAN) that determines the locality, not your Profiler settings.
