Add, Play, and Organize Your Local Files on Amazon Music

Part 1. Can Amazon Music Play Local Files?

Yes, Amazon Music lets you upload and play your personal music files alongside its streaming library. The feature works by allowing you to import audio files stored on your computer into the Amazon Music desktop app. Once uploaded, these files are added to your library, and you can access and play them just like any other track on the platform.

Part 2. How to Add Local Files to Amazon Music

If you have music files stored in iTunes, Windows Media Player, or directly on your desktop, Amazon Music makes it easy to upload them to your library. Before you can upload, ensure your files are properly organized and accessible through these services. Here's a simple step-by-step guide to get your music into Amazon Music:

Option 1: Uploading Local Files from Desktop Storage

If your music is stored directly on your desktop or in a specific folder, this is the easiest method to upload it to Amazon Music. Here's how to do it:

1. Make sure your music files are stored in a folder on your desktop. Supported formats include MP3, FLAC, AAC, and WAV. If your files are in a different format, you might need to use a conversion tool, like ViWizard Audio Capture, to change them into a compatible format.
2. Open the Amazon Music desktop app on your Windows or Mac computer.
3. Hover over your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
4. In the Automatically Import Music From section, click "Select Folder." Then, navigate to the folder where your music files are stored.



5. After selecting your folder, Amazon Music will automatically scan the files for compatibility and begin uploading them to your library.

Option 2: Uploading Local Files from Windows Media Player

If you've been using Windows Media Player to manage your music collection, you'll first need to sync your files with it before adding them to Amazon Music. Here's how:

1. If your music isn't already in Windows Media Player, open the app, go to the Library tab, and click "Add to Library." Select the folder(s) containing your music, and Windows Media Player will import the files into its library.



2. Open the Amazon Music desktop app, then go to Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Automatically Import Music From section and select "Windows Media Player." This lets Amazon Music pull in the files you've added to Windows Media Player.
4. Amazon Music will now scan your Windows Media Player library and automatically upload any compatible files to your Amazon Music library.

Option 3: Uploading Local Files from iTunes

If you have a large music collection in iTunes, Amazon Music makes it easy to import those files as well. Here's how to do it:

1. iTunes supports audio files like AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, and MP4. If your music isn't already in iTunes, open iTunes, click "File" > "Add to Library," and choose the folder containing your music files to add them.



2. Open the Amazon Music desktop app and go to Settings.
3. In the Automatically Import Music From section, select "iTunes." This will allow Amazon Music to automatically import your entire iTunes library into your Amazon Music library.
4. Once iTunes is selected as a source, Amazon Music will scan your iTunes library and upload any compatible music files to your Amazon Music library.

The files should appear shortly in your library, as long as they're in a supported format.

Once you've successfully uploaded your local files to Amazon Music, you can do more than just play them. You can organize your local music by adding it to playlists, mixing your personal collection with tracks from Amazon Music's catalog. Here's how to manage your local files:

1. Open the Amazon Music app and go to your music library where your imported local tracks are stored.

What to Do if You Can't Add Files

While adding local files to playlists usually works without issues, some users may encounter an error message like:

"Something went wrong, please contact customer service."

This happens when there's a conflict between your local files and Amazon Music's streamed content. If you run into this issue, create a new playlist specifically for your local tracks and add them there. This minimizes potential conflicts between local and streamed content and keeps everything organized in one place.
