Where Does Amazon Music Download to Phone or Computer

Amazon Music has become a popular choice for streaming and downloading songs. However, one common question among users is: Where do these downloads actually go? Whether you’re using a Samsung device, an iPhone, or a computer, locating your downloaded Amazon Music files can be a bit tricky. This article will guide you through the specific storage locations for each device and provide insights into how Amazon Music manages its downloaded content.

Amazon Music downloads are stored differently on Android and iPhone devices, depending on whether the music is purchased or downloaded for offline listening through a subscription.

Android Devices

• Subscription Downloads: Music downloaded for offline listening through Amazon Music Prime or Unlimited subscriptions is stored in an encrypted format directly on the Amazon Music app. The location of these downloads cannot be accessed directly on your Android phone storage due to piracy and copyright issues.
• Purchased Music: Your downloaded purchased songs, on the other hand, are accessible via your Android device’s local drive in MP3 format.

Here is how you can find downloaded Amazon Music songs on Android:

Step 1: Go to your Android device’s “File Manager” and tap on the “three-dots icon” at the top-right corner.

Step 2: Select “Settings” and choose “Show Hidden Files”.

Step 3: You should be able to find your Amazon Music downloads via one of the following paths, depending on your phone’s default storage: “storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.amazon.mp3/files/music” or “/mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.amazon.mp3/files/Music”.

If you used an SD card as the default storage to save downloaded files,  the path would be: Card/Android/Media/com.Amazon.mp3.

For songs you’ve purchased from the Amazon Music store, you can find via: /Android/data/com.amazon.mp3/files/Music/Purchased.

iPhone Devices

If you use an iPhone, Amazon Music downloads are stored as cache files within the app, which makes them inaccessible through your device’s file system.

You cannot directly access or export Amazon Music download files outside the Amazon Music app on iPhone, though you can find some cached files via the following path: “music.amazon.com/showDebugOptions”

Similar to mobile devices, subscription-based downloads (Amazon Music Prime and Unlimited) are stored in encrypted cache files on computer, while purchased music downloads are saved on in your computer’s local storage. We’ve explained where you can find downloaded/purchased Amazon Music on Windows and Mac computers below:

On Windows

When you download purchased Amazon Music on Windows computer, it’s either saved to the default music download folder under “Hidden items”. Here is how to check it:

Step 1: Go to “File Explorer” and click on “View” from the top bar. Then, check the box next to “Hidden items”.

Step 2: Browse through the folders and locate the following path to find your Amazon Music Download: “C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Amazon Music\Data”.

Step 3: For songs you’ve purchased, you can find them under “Downloads” or “My Music” folder.

On Mac

Similar to Windows computers, Amazon Music songs downloaded on Mac via an Amazon premium account are saved as cache files, while the purchased downloads are saved to the “Music” folder.

Here is the path to find the cache files for downloaded Amazon Music on Mac: “UserName/Library/Application Support/Amazon Music/Data”
