How to Download Amazon Music to my Computer

Downloading Amazon Music to your computer gives you offline access to albums, playlists, and purchased MP3s. The process depends on whether you use purchased music or a subscription plan such as Prime or Amazon Music Unlimited. This guide walks you through each method and explains how to manage your downloads, find your files, and fix common issues.

1) Install the Amazon Music app on your computer

You need the desktop app if you plan to download Prime or Unlimited tracks. The app handles offline playback and manages your downloadable content.

Open your computer's App Store (Microsoft Store for Windows, App Store for Mac) and search for Amazon Music. Next, select Get to install the app. Finally, launch the app and sign in with your Amazon account.

2) Download songs in the Amazon Music app

You can download music from the Amazon Music app for offline listening. Downloads appear within the app rather than as external files.

This method works for Prime and Unlimited subscribers. To get started, open the Amazon Music app and select any playlist, album, or song. Next, click the three vertical dots next to the item, then click the Download icon and wait for the icon to turn into a checkmark.

This saves the content to your offline library. To check if the music is completely downloaded, open the app’s sidebar, select Downloads, and review active and completed downloads.

3) Download purchased Amazon Music as MP3 files

Purchased tracks do not require the Amazon Music app. You can download them directly from the Amazon Music web player. These MP3 files save to your computer as standard audio files.

Just open the Amazon Music website in your browser and go to Library. Next, select Purchased and choose a song or album. Now, click Download, and your browser will save the MP3 files to your default downloads folder.

4) Fix Amazon Music download not working on computer

• Check account eligibility: Confirm that your plan supports downloads, check the track or playlist for the download icon, and avoid items marked as Ad-Supported or unavailable for offline listening.
• Restart the Amazon Music app: Close the Amazon Music app completely, reopen it and sign in again, and try downloading the track.
• Clear the download cache: Go to Settings and select Clear Cache. Next, restart the app and try downloading again.
• Reinstall the Amazon Music app: Uninstall the app from your system and restart your computer. Install Amazon Music again, sign in, and retry the download.
