Steam Deck is the best newcomer and handheld of the future. Compared to the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck is best for all Steam fans to play a wide variety of PC games. With your Steam Deck, you can not only play PC games or steam cloud-based games, but also listen to some best music services such as Spotify and even Amazon Music at no cost.
Thanks to the Desktop Mode, the non-steam applications work fine for you to access the service you want on your Deck. If you wish to access your Amazon Music library on the Deck, we'd like to show you how easy it is to do so in 2023.
Part 1. How to Play Amazon Music on Your Deck
Amazon Music offers an option for listeners to access their music libraries on the Deck, that is the Amazon Music web app. With a compatible web browser on the Deck, the Amazon Music web app is available on it when you are entering the address of it. Follow these steps right away.
To install a web browser, you'll need to pick your Steam Deck and enter the Desktop Mode via a click on the STEAM button. The Desktop Mode is required for you to access Non-Steam applications - such as the Chrome web browser from the Discover "Store". And you're able to listen to your favorite music on the Amazon Music web player with your account logged in.
How to install a Chrome web browser to your Steam Deck?
You can use your browser like Google Chrome or Brake browser to go on Amazon Music.
Step 1 For starters you need to enter the Desktop Mode. Hit the STEAM button. Once you were there, scroll to Power > Switch to Desktop.

Part 2. How to Download Amazon Music Files for Steam Deck
If you have your own Amazon Music collection and wish to transfer it to the Deck? Your Steam Deck allows you to do so while in Desktop Mode. All you need is to bring your music from your Windows PC. For Amazon Music, you'll need to make sure your music from the Amazon Music Digital is in MP3. Because the Desktop Mode works for you to explore your audio files in the Deck, except for the DRM-protected files of your Amazon Music downloads.
If you don't have the MP3 version of your favorite Amazon Music tracks, you're suggested to get it with a powerful third-party tool like ViWizard Amazon Music Converter.
