You’ve found the perfect song on Amazon Music and want to have it available on your device, even when you’re offline. Downloading your favorite tracks is a straightforward process, whether you’re a Prime member using the included music library or a subscriber to Amazon Music Unlimited. Let’s walk through the simple steps to get your music directly onto your phone or computer.
Downloading Music on Your Mobile Device
Using the Amazon Music app is the most common way to download songs. First, open the app and find the song, album, or playlist you want. Next to the title, you’ll see a download icon—it usually looks like a downward-facing arrow. Tap that icon, and the app will begin downloading the music directly to your device. You can check your progress in the “Downloads” section of the app. Once complete, you can access your music from the “My Music” or “Offline” section, perfect for listening on a flight or saving your mobile data.
Getting Songs on Your Computer
The process is just as simple on a desktop or laptop. Open the Amazon Music application for Mac or PC, or use the web player in a browser like Chrome. Browse to the music you wish to save. You’ll see the same download arrow next to songs, albums, and playlists. Click it, and the files will be saved to your computer’s designated music folder. This is great for creating a local backup of your most-played tracks or for transferring them to other devices.
What You Need to Know About Downloads
It’s helpful to remember a few key points. Your ability to download depends on your subscription. Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can download as many songs as they want. Prime members can download music from their Prime-playlist selections, but there are some limitations. Also, downloads are for your personal use within the Amazon Music app and are protected by digital rights management (DRM), meaning you can’t transfer the files to other media players.
Managing Your Downloaded Music Library
If you need to free up space on your device, managing your downloads is easy. In the app, go to your Downloads section. Here, you can usually remove individual songs or entire albums by selecting them and choosing the “Delete” or “Remove Download” option. Don’t worry—removing a download from your device doesn’t remove it from your Amazon Music library; you can always download it again later.
Having your favorite music available offline is a fantastic feature. With just a tap or a click, you can build a personal music collection that travels with you anywhere, ensuring your soundtrack is always ready, no matter your internet connection.
