Download Amazon Music to PC or Mac for Offline Listening

Option 1: Download Amazon Music to PC for Offline Listening (Desktop App)

One of the easiest ways to download Amazon Music on a PC is to use the official Amazon Music desktop app with a subscription. Install the app from the Microsoft Store or the Amazon website, sign in with your account, and use the Library tab to download music.

Your subscription affects what you can download. Amazon Music Unlimited allows you to download any Albums, Playlists, or Songs. Prime users can only download curated All‑Access Playlists, so you cannot save individual tracks outside the app. Another important point is that downloaded songs are protected by DRM, meaning they are only playable in the Amazon Music app. You cannot open them in Windows Media Player or transfer them to a USB drive. For MP3 files, you will need to download purchased music or convert streaming tracks, which are discussed below.

How to Download Amazon Music in the Desktop App

For Amazon Music Prime Subscribers (All‑Access Playlists)

Step 1 Open the Amazon Music desktop app on your Windows PC or Mac and sign in with your Amazon account.

Step 2 Click Home or Library in the left sidebar to browse available content.

Step 3 Open an All‑Access Playlist, which is available for Prime members.

Step 4 Click the Download button under the playlist title, or click the three‑dot More menu and choose Download.

Step 5 Wait while the playlist is added to the download queue and saved for offline playback.

Step 6 Go to Library > Downloaded to view and play the playlists you saved.

For Amazon Music Unlimited Subscribers (Any Playlist or Album)

Step 1 Launch the Amazon Music desktop app and sign in with your Amazon Music Unlimited account.

Step 2 Use the Search bar or open Library to find the song, album, or playlist you want to download.

Step 3 Open the album or playlist page to view its tracks.

Step 4 Click the Download button under the album or playlist title to save the entire collection.

Step 5 To download an individual track, click the three‑dot More menu next to the song and choose Download.

Step 6 Once the download finishes, go to Library > Downloaded to see all your offline music.

Option 2: Convert and Download Amazon Music to PC as MP3 Files

Converting Amazon Music to MP3 offers more flexibility. ViWizard Amazon Music Downloader accesses music through the Amazon Music Web Player and saves it as MP3, WAV, or FLAC while keeping song info, metadata, and lyrics. These tracks can be saved to your PC and played in iTunes, Windows Media Player, or portable devices without needing the Amazon Music app or subscription. This gives a permanent offline collection and the closest experience to owning your music.

The converter works with Amazon Music Free, Prime, or Unlimited accounts. Prime users are limited to Shuffle‑Only mode, so downloads may not stay in the exact same order and some tracks may fail. Amazon Music Unlimited users get the most freedom with this method.

Option 3: Download Purchased Amazon Music to PC as MP3 Files

If you have bought music from Amazon, you can download it as real MP3 files via the Amazon Music Web Player or desktop app. Purchased music is DRM‑free and provides an official way to own your files. However, this option only works for purchased music. If you mainly stream through Amazon Music Prime or Amazon Music Unlimited, using a converter like ViWizard Amazon Music Converter is a better way to create offline MP3 files.

Option 4: Record Amazon Music Audio on PC as MP3 Files

Recording Amazon Music works with almost any streaming service. Programs like ViWizard Audio Capture or Audacity capture audio in real time and save it as MP3 or WAV. Recorded files can be moved, edited, or played in any media player. The main drawback is that recording happens in real time, so a three-minute song takes three minutes to capture, and you may need to trim or add metadata afterward.

Bonus: Where Amazon Music Downloads Are Stored on PC

Official Amazon Music downloads are stored in a protected folder. They cannot be used with other media players or transferred to devices like USB drives. However, converted or recorded files are saved in standard audio formats such as MP3, WAV, or FLAC, which makes them easy to organize or move to other devices.

1. Subscription Amazon Music Downloads

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Amazon Music\Data\Offline

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Amazon Music\Data

2. Purchased Amazon Music Downloads

C:\Users\YourUsername\Music\Amazon Music

C:\Users\YourUsername\Downloads

3. Unofficial Amazon Music Downloads

These depend entirely on the software's output settings. For example:

C:\Users\YourUsername\Music

C:\Users\YourUsername\Downloads

C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\Amazon Music

Pro Tip: How to Transfer Downloaded Amazon Music from PC

To move your music to other devices, remember that official Amazon Music downloads from the desktop app are protected by DRM and cannot be used outside the app. Converted or recorded files can be transferred freely to any device or media player. Just make sure your device supports the file format and has enough storage space.

Conclusion:

Downloading Amazon Music to your PC is simple. The official app works well for offline listening inside Amazon Music, but files remain DRM-protected and require an active subscription. If you want more flexibility, such as moving tracks to other devices, backing them up, or creating your own MP3 collection, using ViWizard Amazon Music Downloader is the better choice.
