How to Download Amazon Music to MP3

In short: music purchased from Amazon can be downloaded as a local file and imported into a media player. Downloads from Amazon Music Prime or Unlimited are for offline listening in the Amazon Music app; they are not the same as transferable MP3 files. This guide keeps those two cases separate.

Amazon Music to MP3: Key Takeaways

If you bought digital music from Amazon, Amazon's customer-service guidance says that you can download it locally and import it into a media player. Prime and Unlimited downloads are different: they are available for offline playback in the Amazon Music app rather than as computer-downloadable files. See Amazon's purchased-music download guidance for the current official boundary.

1. Download Purchased Amazon Music as MP3

This section applies only to music you purchased from Amazon's Digital Music store. It does not describe Prime or Unlimited app downloads.

How to download purchased music from Amazon Music

• 1. Sign in to the Amazon account that purchased the music.
• 2. Open the purchased music available in your Amazon library.
• 3. Select the track or album you want to download and follow Amazon's current download instructions.
• 4. After the download is complete, import the local file into a compatible media player if needed.

If you use Prime or Unlimited, the Download option is for offline playback in the Amazon Music app. It does not create a normal local MP3 file that you can import into another media player or transfer to another device.
