Authorize Devices for Amazon Music Access
Streaming vs. Downloading
Amazon Music offers two ways to enjoy your favorite tunes: streaming and downloading. Streaming allows you to listen to music directly from the Amazon Music app or website, while downloading means saving the music files to your device for offline listening.
Authorization Required for Downloads
If you choose to download music, you'll need to authorize the device you're using. This process involves linking your Amazon account to the device so that it can access and play your downloaded music. Any device capable of downloading music, such as an iPhone, Kindle, or laptop, must be authorized before you can download music to it.
Streaming Without Authorization
On the other hand, streaming Amazon Music in a browser does not require authorization. You can listen to music directly from the Amazon Music website without having to link your account to the device you're using. This is convenient if you want to listen to Amazon Music on a public or borrowed computer.
Benefits of Authorization
Authorizing your devices for Amazon Music has several benefits:
- Access to Amazon services like Kindle Prime Video and Amazon Music on your authorized devices.
- The ability to switch benefits, such as Amazon Music Unlimited, between authorized devices.
- Improved convenience and ease of use.
How to Authorize a Device
To authorize a device for Amazon Music:
- Open the Amazon Music app or website on the device you want to authorize.
- Sign in to your Amazon account.
- Navigate to the "Settings" section.
- Select "Authorized Devices" or "Manage Devices."
- Click on the "Authorize" button next to the device you want to authorize.
If you don't have an eligible device linked to your Amazon account, you may need to add one before you can authorize the new device.
