6 Methods to Download Amazon Music to MP3/FLAC (2025 Latest Guide)

I’ve been a paying Amazon Music user since 2017. In early 2025, the service raised prices again; Prime members now pay $10.99 / month for Unlimited, up from $9.99, according to The Verge. At the same time, Prime Music cut back: you can only download All-Access playlists, not single tracks. If you opened the app today hoping to grab a new album for your flight, you probably found a greyed-out Download button.

This article shows every working route, from the official shuffle-only method to third-party tools that give you permanent MP3 or FLAC files, so you can pick what fits your budget, device, and risk tolerance.

1. Four Download Options: Amazon Music Official or Third-Party Converters

1.1 Prime Music (Limited Access)

Prime members get 100 million songs, but on-demand downloads are limited to 15-50-track All-Access
lists. And those downloads come with the restriction that you can only play them in shuffle mode. That means if you want a specific track, you won’t be able to download it unless it’s part of one of the pre-made playlists.

Best for: Casual listening when you don’t mind the shuffle feature.

Limitations: Only specific playlists are downloadable, and those downloads expire after 30 days.

1.2 Amazon Music Unlimited  (Full Access)

Unlimited unlocks full on-demand, HD and Ultra HD (up to 24-bit/192 kHz) and Dolby Atmos. You can download as many tracks as you want, but even these downloads are protected by DRM. Similar to streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, the subscription-based offline downloads of Amazon Music are also encrypted and saved, and can only be played within the Amazon app.

Best for: People who want to have full access to the catalog and need the best sound quality for offline listening.

Limitations: Offline files still expire if your subscription lapses.

1.3 Purchased MP3s

Buying MP3s (mostly $1.29 each) delivers 256-kbps DRM-free files, you may redownload anytime, and you can keep them forever.

Best For: Anyone who wants to own music permanently without worrying about DRM restrictions.

Limitations: You don't get access to the entire Amazon Music catalog. Not all songs are available in downloadable MP3 format. Some tracks are not available for purchase and download due to copyright restrictions.

1.4 Third-Party Converters

Amazon Music Converter records or downloads audio into plain files. Legality depends on local law; you can only use them for personal, backup purposes.

Best For: Users who want to break the official limitations and have more control over their
music, converting Amazon Music tracks in multiple formats (like MP3, FLAC, WAV) with high-quality audio output at a faster speed.

Limitations: some tools are paid or require additional setup
