Absolutely you can listen to Amazon Music without an internet connection. If you’re a subscriber to Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon Music Standard, or Amazon Prime Music, the app allows you to download songs, albums, and playlists directly to your device for offline listening. This is fantastic for long commutes, flights, or areas with poor network coverage. But it’s important to understand the limitations:
- Amazon Music Free (ad-supported) offers no offline access .
- Prime Music allows downloads, but only from All-Access Playlists, not individual tracks or albums .
- Only Unlimited or Standard subscriptions offer full offline capability songs, albums, playlists in various quality levels like Standard, HD, Ultra HD, or Spatial Audio .
- All downloads are stored within the Amazon Music app and remain DRM-protected. You can’t export them, burn them to CD, or play them outside the app.
Official Method: How to Download Amazon Music Offline
Here’s how to use the standard offline feature, step by step whether you’re on Android, iPhone, or Desktop:
On Android / iPhone:
- Open your Amazon Music app and sign in.
- Find the song, album, or playlist you want.
- Tap the three-dot menu and select Download .
- Go to Settings and enable Offline Mode to only use downloaded content .
- Access your offline tracks via Library → Downloaded.
On Desktop (Windows / Mac):
- Open the Amazon Music desktop app.
- Navigate to Library → Songs/Albums/Playlists.
- Click the download icon next to a track or album.
- Use the Filter to show only Downloaded items.
- You can play them offline only within the app.
This method covers basic needs no data use while playing, smooth accessibility, easy organization but still locks everything inside Amazon Music’s app ecosystem.
