Amazon Music Streaming on Another Device? Here's What to Do

Part 1. What Does "Amazon Music Streaming on Another Device" Mean?

The message "Amazon Music is streaming on another device" typically pops up when you're trying to play music on one device while it's already being streamed on another. This error is Amazon's way of enforcing its licensing and subscription rules.

Depending on your subscription type, Amazon Music sets strict limits on how many devices can stream music simultaneously:

• Amazon Music Free & Prime Music: Can only stream on one device at a time.
• Amazon Music Unlimited (Individual): Also restricted to a single stream at a time.
• Amazon Music Unlimited Family Plan: Allows up to 6 devices to stream simultaneously.

So, if you're using a shared account with family or switching between your phone, PC, and smart speakers, the system might think your account is being abused – and cut off your music.

Part 2. Why the Amazon Music Streaming on Another Device Error Occur

There are several reasons you might encounter the Amazon Music streaming on another device issue:

1. Multiple Devices Logged in
   If you're signed into your Amazon Music account on several devices (phone, tablet, Fire TV, Echo etc.), and you play music on more than one of them, it can trigger the error.
2. Shared Account Usage
   If you're sharing your Amazon credentials with friends or family who are also using the service, you might lose access when they start streaming.
3. Echo or Alexa-Linked Devices
   Sometimes, an Echo speaker may automatically resume playing previously streamed music, conflicting with your playback on another device.
4. Forgotten Sessions
   You might have left a session running on a device you're no longer using, which still counts as an active stream.

Part 3. How to Fix Amazon Music Streaming on Another Device Issue

Here are practical solutions to fix the Amazon Music streaming on another device error and get your music playing again:

1. Take Over Playback
   When the message pops up, Amazon Music may give you an option to "Take Over Playback." Tap this option to end playback on the other device and resume music on your current one.
2. Sign Out from Unused Devices
   To Avoid conflict, sign out from Amazon Music on devices you no longer use:
   
   
   • Go to Amazon.com → Your Account → Devices.
   • Select the device and choose Deregister.



3. Close the App on Other Devices
   Ensure the Amazon Music app is completely closed on other devices. Some apps may run in the background and continue streaming.
4. Restart Devices and App
   Restart both your current device and the Amazon Music app. A fresh start often resolves playback issues.
5. Upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited Family Plan
   If multiple people in your household use Amazon Music, consider upgrading to a Family Plan. It allows up to 6 simultaneous streams, solving the conflict permanently.

Part 4. How to Prevent the Amazon Music Streaming on Another Device Problem

If you're finding a way to avoid future interruptions, we hereby provide you with these preventive tips:

• Don't share your account with others who aren't on a family plan.
• Use different Amazon profiles when possible, especially on Alexa devices.
• Periodically check logged-in devices and remove inactive ones.
• Download music for offline listening to avoid streaming conflicts (especially helpful while traveling).
• Use dedicated devices for Amazon Music if you switch devices often (e.g., keep your phone as the main player).
