If you have your personal music collection, you'll want to add it to your most-used music service, such as Amazon Music. And fortunately, Amazon Music lets you add files stored on your computer to the Amazon Music desktop. Most music fans wish to bring their own music files to Amazon Music for various reasons, one of which is to take advantage of its features that no streaming services has, such as the Amazon Music Exclusive Mode. If you have Prime membership, you can even have full access to the Amazon Music catalog for free with up to 100 million songs to shuffle.

In this post, we'd like to introduce how you can import local files to the Amazon Music desktop app and how to organize them later on in your music library. If you're frustrated with the shuffle-only mode on Prime Music or finding ways to transfer your Amazon music to any other music platforms, we're here to provide tips for you to meet your needs with our ViWizard Amazon Music Converter.

Part 1. How to Import Local Files to Amazon Music Desktop

You can use ViWizard Amazon Music Converter to convert your local files to certain format supported by Amazon Music. In this part, we will introduce two available ways for you to choose.

With this convenient online tool, users can easily import their playlists from one service and export them to another. However, you should notice that the free version may have restrictions on the number of playlists or songs you can transfer, requiring a subscription for full access. Since it is an online service, any poor internet connection may disrupt the transferring and there may be concerns regarding how user data is handled and stored. And even if a song exists on both platforms, licensing issues might prevent it from being transferred successfully. Therefore, to make the transferring smoother and safer, you'd better use a dedicated tool—ViWizard Amazon Music Converter.

Part 2. How to Organize Local Files in Your Amazon Music Library

In addition to basic music controls and Exclusive Mode (for Windows only), you can always do more with the added files in the Amazon Music app. You may want to add those files to your Amazon Music playlists. But now if you try to organize your files, you'll receive an error message, like "Something went wrong, please contact customer service." The error messages may appear due to some conflicting music sources about this. For most Amazon Music users, the best solution is to manually create a new playlist for the matching items from Amazon Music catalog.

Step 1. Go to the imported music tracks in your music library.

Step 2. Right-click on the track form or click the 3 dots icon on the right to open up the drop-down options menu.

Step 3. You should see several options such as Play New, Add to Queue. Just click Add to Playlist to add the selected music song to your playlist.

Part 3. How to Get Amazon Music as Local Files

Currently, many Amazon users are overwhelmed by the bad functionality of the download service in Amazon Music. If you are a free user of Amazon Music, you can't download any Amazon Music content for offline play. Even if you have the Prime membership, the downloaded tracks will disappear once the subscription expires. The best solution is to download the tracks you want to your computer with a third-party tool, then you can transfer them to other devices such as MP3 Player and Sonos for offline-playing. In case you get into trouble finding a reliable and professional tool, we recommend Amazon Music downloader.

With the DRM-removal function, ViWizard Amazon Music Converter is the best one on the market. No matter you are a Free user, a Prime or Unlimited subscriber, you can pick this ViWizard software to download contents you want from Amazon Music from music to podcasts. To make them compatible with the Amazon Music app or other software, you just need to convert them into one supported audio file formats by ViWizard: MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, AAC and FLAC. Then the on-demand Amazon music tracks are yours to put to all your devices.

Bonus Tip: How to Transfer Amazon Music to Other Music Platforms

For some people, the tracks in Amazon Music are wonderful but the playback mode or the interface of Spotify or other music platforms may be more enjoyable. In this case, transferring Amazon Music to other music platforms is a good choice. We will take Spotify as an example. Here we recommend a useful tool called Soundiiz.

To use Soundiiz, navigate to the soundiiz.com and click on the "Get started now" button. Log in using your Twitter, Apple, or other accounts. Create an account and connect your streaming services. Then, select the playlist you want to transfer and choose the destination platform. Start the transfer and wait for confirmation, after which you can verify the playlist on the target service.

Soundiiz is very convenient for those who are unwilling to download any extra software. However, it is an online website which relies on a strong internet connection, so occasional bugs or glitches may disrupt the transfer process due to a poor internet connection. In this case, ViWizard Amazon Music Converter is more recommended for its dedicated features and stability. Feel free to have a try as it won't disappoint you.
