Most of us have an aversion to getting up early, especially in winter. So, do you have any tips or suggestions for making getting up early easier? Maybe a good song can wake you up with every morning. It would make you feel good when waking up and this powerful energy helps you start the day on the right foot. There are lots of streaming music platforms like Amazon Music where you can find your favorite alarm sound. Let's go over the post of how to set Amazon Music as alarm on iPhone, Android device, and smart speakers.
Part 1. Can I Set Amazon Music as Alarm on Mobile?
Amazon Music offers several tiers — Amazon Music Prime, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Amazon Music Unlimited Family Plan. Depending on your subscription, you can access up to 100 million songs, trending playlists, and podcast episodes.
However, despite the wide selection of music, Amazon Music doesn't currently support integration with built-in clock or alarm apps on iOS or Android. This means you cannot directly set Amazon songs as an alarm tone using your device's default tools. Why?
Two main reasons:
- Digital Rights Management (DRM): Amazon encrypts its music files, preventing them from being used outside the app.
- No Clock App Integration: Amazon Music isn't linked with any major alarm or clock app, unlike Spotify or Apple Music in some cases.
So, if you want to wake up to a favorite track from Amazon Music, you'll need a workaround. And that's where ViWizard Amazon Music Converter comes in. It is a powerful music downloader and converter that can not only download songs from Amazon Music Prime, Amazon Music Unlimited, but also convert Amazon Music songs to MP3, AAC, WAV, and more plain formats. Then you can use Amazon songs as an alarm sound on your device. Please keep reading to get more infomation about ViWizard and the detailed steps.
