Downloading Music for Offline Playback

One of the great features of Amazon Prime Music is the ability to download songs, albums, playlists, and stations for offline listening when you don’t have an internet connection. This allows you to listen to music on-the-go without using mobile data or needing WiFi.

To download music for offline playback on the Amazon Music app:

2. Tap the “Download” icon next to the music – it looks like a downwards pointing arrow.
3. The music will now download onto your device so you can listen offline.

Downloaded music is saved locally on your device. You can find your full collection of downloaded music in the “My Music” section of the Amazon Music app.

The amount of music you can save for offline listening depends on your Amazon Music subscription and storage space on your device. With an Amazon Prime membership, you can download up to 100 songs for offline. Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can save unlimited music for offline listening.

Downloaded music stays in your offline collection until you manually delete it. This means you don’t have to worry about managing expired downloads.

Listening on Amazon Echo

One of the most convenient ways to listen to Amazon Prime music is by streaming it on your Amazon Echo smart speakers using just your voice. To get started, make sure your Echo device is connected to your WiFi network and registered to your Amazon account in the Alexa app. You can then simply say “Alexa, play [song name/artist/album/playlist]” to start streaming music hands-free. According to Amazon, you can play music on Echo devices from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, and more (Amazon).

To play music from a specific streaming service, include the service name in your request like “Alexa, play [song] on [service].” You can also browse playlists and stations by genre without needing to specify a particular song. For example “Alexa, play pop music” or “Alexa, play the Today’s Hits playlist on Spotify.” Alexa supports multiple profiles, so each person in your household can link their own streaming accounts for personalized music playback.

With compatible Echo devices that have built-in speakers like the Echo Studio, you can enjoy high quality audio playback. You can also connect your Echo device to external speakers via Bluetooth or an audio cable. Using Alexa voice controls, you can adjust the volume, skip tracks, like songs to add them to My Soundtrack, and more hands-free music options without needing to interact with a screen.

Listening on Other Devices

In addition to mobile devices and Echo speakers, you can listen to Amazon Music on a variety of other platforms by linking your Amazon account. This allows you to stream music easily at home through connected devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, and media players.

To set up, make sure you are logged into the same Amazon account on all devices you want to use for streaming. On each device, launch the Amazon Music app or channel and it will automatically sync with your account preferences and playlists. For example, on Roku you can add the Amazon Music channel and then log in to stream music.

Gaming consoles like Playstation and Xbox also have downloadable Amazon Music apps you can use by logging into your Amazon account. Similarly, many smart TV platforms like LG, Samsung, and Sony have Amazon Music apps built-in that will sync across devices.

The key is making sure you are logged into the same Amazon account across all devices. Amazon Music allows streaming on up to 10 supported devices simultaneously per account. If you want to remove access on any device, you can visit Your Amazon Music Settings and deauthorize specific devices.

Tips for Seamless Listening

To ensure seamless music listening across all your devices, follow these tips:

Make sure you are logged into the same Amazon account on all devices. This links your Amazon Music library and settings.

When downloading music for offline playback, select “Download” instead of “Add to My Music.” Downloads sync across devices while My Music selections do not.

Use the Amazon Music app to download playlists and albums ahead of time before going offline. The downloads sync across Android, iOS, and PC apps.

Consider upgrading to the Amazon Music Unlimited Family Plan, which allows streaming on up to 6 devices simultaneously.

Turn on automatic downloads under Settings to sync new Amazon Music purchases and playlists to all your devices.

If music is not syncing properly between devices, check that both are connected to the internet and signed into the same Amazon account.

Linking to Alexa-enabled devices like Amazon Echo allows voice commands to control music playback throughout your home.
