Amazon Music Unlimited
Download Songs for Offline Play
Like all the best music streaming services, Amazon Music Unlimited lets you download songs for offline playback, but only when using the Android or iOS apps. This means that offline playback is not available in Windows, Mac, or web apps.
There is no limit to the number of songs you can download this way. However, the downloaded songs are protected and can only be played through Amazon Music, which means they cannot be exported to external storage or transferred to other devices.
To download for offline playback, go to any song, album or playlist and open the "More options" menu (the three dots), then select Download .
To see all your downloaded music, go to Music> Offline Music your Android or yours Settings> Offline Music Mode on iOS. On both platforms, you can too enter a Recent> Downloads to view only recently downloaded songs.
Changing the bitrate to reduce data usage
Regardless of the platform you use to play music from Amazon, you can change the quality of the stream and reduce the amount of data the service uses. This is a key tip to know when you're listening on 4G LTE, or if your ISP has a monthly data limit.
In the web player, click your account name in the bottom left, then click Streaming audio quality . By default it is set to Auto, but it is recommended to set it to Low when you need to keep data and High when you don't.
In the desktop app, click your account name in the top right, then click Preferences> Advanced> Audio Quality . In mobile apps, tap the gear icon in the top left, then select Streaming quality . Again, choose between High or Low depending on whether you need to keep the data or not.
