How To Download All Songs In Amazon Music ~UPD~
Roux Bakeley
I just stumbled across a fast way to move a new song added to a playlist to the top of the playlist (when using the Amazon Music iOS app). As far as I'm aware, I don't think any other music platform app is able to do this trick (on iOS), at least the one's I've tried (ie. Spotify, Apple Music).
Basically after adding the new song to your playlist, you Edit the playlist as usual, go to the bottom of the playlist where the new song is located and then pick up the song, as if you're going to "drag and drop" it as usual. But instead of moving it, use your other hand to tap the top of your iOS devices screen, where the top status bar area is located (i.e. date, battery percentage, etc). On iOS devices, this will cause the list of music to INSTANTLY scroll to the top of the playlist, while the song you are drag and dropping stays where it is located on the screen. Once the list moves to the top, just continue moving the song to the top area and drop it in place. That's it.
So, recently I thought I was losing my mind. Like, literally. I was planning to talk to my doctor about it because things suddenly sounded different to me, mostly when listening to my music in the car. Sometimes it sounded different in the sense that it slightly now had a "live" sort of sound to it.. or it sounded a bit more acoustic then it used to. I thought there was something actually wrong with me and started to panic.
I realized it wasn't me, but Amazon Music when a song came up that I KNOW the lyrics had changed to as suddenly a song thats been in the Playlist for well over a year is now the clean version. That confirmed that yes, some songs have changed in different ways ... songs that I added to the Playlist forever ago and haven't had to re-add recently or anything. And its not just from one artist, either.
I understand Amazon have made some changes to the way music is ordered if it's on Amazon Prime. But this has impacted the music I actually OWN through amazon. The albums I have bought are listed in 'My Music' in the Sonos app but I can no longer access track listings or play them in the correct running order.
That doesn't make any sense. I get that the changes effect music you don't own but are streaming through Amazon Music but preventing you from streaming the albums you actually bought is weird. Surely this is a bug?
Incidentally - I have to say that with this amazon nonsense, the absurd new problem that stops me indexing a HDD that's plugged into my router, and the way the apps are all sluggish and slow to display an update to the current track being played etc I am starting to build a picture in my head that Sonos isn't the company it was.
Amazon's change is only aimed at people who have Prime as a way to force them to upgrade to a monthly music plan. It does not- repeat does not effect the music library that you purchased through Amazon.
What about the fact that Sonos can no longer index my music library on the hard drive connected to my router. That used to work and now it doesn't and hasn't for several months. That's something within their control isn't it? Can you send me a snippy sarcasm drenched reply to that one please?
Btw; I've tried removing the Amazon service from Sonos and re adding it, that didn't make any difference. Neither did reinstalling Amazon music app on my iPad and relieving the Sonos account so it definitely looks like something Amazon have introduced to mess things up to me....
The main reason I subscribe to prime is because of the limited link to Amazon music from Sonos. If this is not available I may as well cancel my prime subscription... Just to make you aware there are many other prime users saying the same thing on the Sonos community forum. So this Amazon money grab may backfire.....
what i find strange is when you use amazon music app. u can hold the play list and click on View playlist you can see all the song and play what one you like in the amazon music app.
but in the sonos app u cant do this nor can you view the playlsit/album and it only play random tacks when u lick on it.
I am an elementary music teacher and have purchased hundreds of songs through Amazon digital music. Last night, I purchased a song on Amazon but this morning was unsuccessful in downloading it onto my iMac and therefore unable to get it into my iTunes library. In a lengthy online chat with Amazon, the tech finally discovered that music purchased on Amazon will not be allowed to be downloaded into an iTunes library, by order of Apple! I tried to purchase the same song from the iTunes store, but it is not available. Can someone please explain the logic of this to me?
"To access and play your Amazon Music purchases in iTunes or Windows Media Player, you first need to download the songs to your computer. You can then move the downloaded files from where they're saved on your computer to your iTunes or Windows Media Player library.
Music you have purchased can be downloaded to your computer. By default it will be put into an Amazon Music folder that is inside your Music folder. You can then drag the music just downloaded into iTunes. However you cannot download Amazon Streamed music to iTunes which is what I suspect you were trying to do.
The Amazon tech person I "chatted" with this morning said that this was something new that they had just been told, that per Apple, music purchased from Amazon could not be downloaded/moved/whatever to iTunes.
I create playlists on Amazon music. Then using the 955 Solar I go to Browse > My Music > Playlists and select the playlist I want to download to my watch. It will then connect to Wi-Fi and proceed to sync Amazon music for a while. Some playlists work fine on my watch using this method but some playlists appear but they are completely empty and have no songs in them. Playing the same playlist on Amazon music via the computer is completely fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Amazon is the largest e-commerce platform in the world, and when it comes to music, it has multiple offerings for consumers. Amazon Music, formerly Amazon MP3, is Amazon's basic streaming service that features more than 100 million songs from both major label and independent artists. Amazon Music is available to everyone, regardless if you have an Amazon Prime account or not. In 2014, Amazon launched Music Prime, which became an add-on for Amazon Prime members and allowed Prime members to stream songs, music playlists, and personalized streaming stations ad-free, with the option to listen to music offline.
In 2016, Amazon launched Music Unlimited, its music streaming service that currently competes with popular music streaming sites like Spotify and Apple Music. Like Spotify and Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited offers a 100 million song music library that can be streamed on-demand and ad-free. It also features a recommendations engine based on algorithms that provides users with recommended artists, songs, and curated playlists.
Furthermore, in 2019 Amazon decided to enter the HD streaming market with Amazon Music HD, a premium-quality music streaming service that offers the same music library of 100 million songs in HD streaming quality, and millions of songs in Ultra HD streaming quality, the highest quality streaming audio available, along with all of the offerings of Music Unlimited and Music Prime.
