As a music lover, you probably have a lot of songs, playlists, and podcasts you want to save and download from Amazon Music. While you can download them to your Amazon Music app, sometimes, the storage space isn’t enough to handle them. What do you do when the internal storage of the Amazon Music app is filled and you have more songs to download? Well, the best option here is to move the downloaded songs to an external SD card.

If you’re wondering how this can be achieved, we’ve got you covered! In this article, we have taken the time to walk you through the whole process. You’ll learn how to download Amazon Music to an SD card on your Android and computer, including how to move and have access to them permanently even when your subscription expires. Let’s get to it!

Part 1

How to Download Amazon Music to SD Card Offline on Android

One of the ways to download Amazon Music to SD Card for offline listening is to do it through the Amazon Music app. The download feature is already functional on the app, so, all that’s needed from you is to alternate the storage path from device storage to SD card. Before doing this, you must have an active subscription and have the app downloaded on your Android phone. If your app is outdated, update it from the Google Play Store. Also, make sure the SD card has enough space to accommodate the downloaded songs and is recognized by your phone.  

That said, here are the steps to follow to download your favorite songs from Amazon Music to an SD card:

Step 1. First, open your Amazon Music app and log in with your details. From the homepage, tap the “Menu” section represented by three horizontal lines. A drop-down will appear. Click on “Settings”.
