Amazon Music lets subscribers download playlists for offline playback in its mobile or desktop app. However, these downloads are encrypted cache files that can only be played within the Amazon Music app and will expire once your subscription ends. In this guide, we’ll show you how to download Amazon Music playlists for offline listening and personal backup.
1. How to Download Amazon Music Playlists on Your Phone and Computer
The process of downloading Amazon Music playlists on mobile or desktop is almost the same. Here’s a quick guide:
1. Open the Amazon Music app on your iOS, Android, PC, or Mac device and sign in.2. Go to Playlists and select the one you want to download.
3. Tap the Download arrow icon or the three dots next to the playlist name.

Tip: To download individual songs within a playlist, play the playlist, tap the three dots next to a song, and choose Download.
Once the download is complete, go to Library > Downloaded to access your songs for offline playback.
Notice: Downloaded songs are encrypted and playable only within the Amazon Music app. If you want real audio files (MP3, FLAC, WAV, or AAC) for unrestricted playback, Amazon doesn’t provide them due to DRM protection. However, you can legally convert your streamed songs for personal use with specialized software. Keep reading to learn how.
2. How to Download Amazon Playlist as MP3 or Other Formats
If you want to permanently export playlists as standard audio files (e.g., MP3) for use on any device, Amazon's official downloads won't work due to DRM protection. You'll need a third-party converter tool like Epubor AmzMusic Mate. It converts tracks while preserving quality and metadata.
