Select Music to Download

To download your purchased music from Amazon, you first need to browse your library and select the specific songs or albums you want to download. Here are the steps:

Open the Amazon Music app and tap on ‘My Music’ at the bottom. This will display your full music library including any purchases. Browse through your library and tap on an album or playlist to view the songs. Use the download button next to any track to select it for download. You can also tap the 3 dots next to an album or playlist and choose ‘Download’ to select the entire thing.

Alternatively, you can use the Amazon Music web player at music.amazon.com. Sign in and go to ‘My Music’ then browse your library. Use the download icons next to tracks or albums to choose what to download.

Make sure to select all the songs, albums and playlists you want to have available offline. The selected music will download to your device so you can listen without an internet connection.

Set Download Quality

When downloading music from Amazon Music, you have the option to choose between different quality levels for your downloads. This allows you to optimize for audio quality versus file size depending on your preferences and needs.

To set your download quality in the Amazon Music app, go to Settings > Download Audio Quality. You’ll see three options:

Standard Quality: This downloads music at 128 kbps bitrate. Standard quality provides smaller file sizes that take up less storage space, but with slightly lower audio quality.
High Quality: This option downloads songs at 256 kbps bitrate. High quality audio sounds very good while still providing reasonable file sizes.

Ultra High Quality: This setting downloads music at up to 320 kbps bitrate. Ultra high quality provides excellent, near-CD quality audio but results in very large file sizes.

The higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality but the larger each song file will be. Consider your listening equipment, storage constraints, and data limits when choosing between standard, high, and ultra high.

You can switch between quality levels at any time. Changing the setting will apply to future music downloads but does not affect tracks already downloaded.https://www.viwizard.com/amazon-music-tips/amazon-music-not-playing-downloaded-songs.html

On mobile devices, the Amazon Music app will automatically save downloads to your device’s native music library and storage. There is no way to customize the download folder location on smartphones or tablets.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues downloading your music purchases from Amazon Music, there are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Music won’t download: Make sure you have enough storage space on your device. On mobile, clear the download queue and try re-downloading the songs. On desktop, log out of the Amazon Music app and log back in to reset the download process. Check that you have an active internet connection.
