Amazon MP3 App for Android with Cloud Player

The Amazon MP3 app for Android lets you shop for music on the go, and access and manage your music using Amazon Cloud Player.

Installing the Amazon Cloud Player App for Android

The Amazon MP3 app for Android is compatible with Android devices running OS 2.0 and higher, with screen resolutions that are larger than QVGA. You have three options to install the Amazon MP3 app for Android:

1. Go to the Google Play Store on your device, search for Amazon MP3, and choose to install the app.
2. Go to Amazon Appstore and follow the onscreen instructions to install the application. Once installed, search for the Amazon MP3 app in Amazon Appstore for Android and install it.
3. Capture the QR code below using your barcode scanner app, open the Amazon MP3 page in the Google Play Store, and choose to install the app.

If the Amazon MP3 app for Android was factory installed, your existing app will be replaced with the newest version.

Note: Amazon MP3 Store purchases may only be made by UK customers via Amazon.co.uk. To be sure that the Amazon MP3 app for Android shows the UK Store, be sure that you set English (UK) as your device language through the device's settings.

Device Authorisations

Amazon Cloud Player allows access from up to ten authorised devices. This includes mobile devices and different computers. If you try to access your music files using Amazon Cloud Player from more than ten authorised devices, you'll see a message indicating you need to manage your authorised devices. You can still access your music using Amazon Cloud Player through the ten devices you've previously used.

To manage device authorisations, visit the Amazon MP3 Settings page. Deauthorised devices will be removed from the Your Authorised Devices list in 30 days.

Amazon Cloud Drive and Amazon Cloud Player are only for individual use and use that complies with our Terms of Use. If you feel you've reached your device limit in error or need further help, please contact customer support by clicking on the "Contact Us" button on this page.

Signing In to the MP3 App

Signing in

You do not need to be signed in to browse or search the Amazon MP3 Store, although you will be prompted to sign in if you choose to buy music or access your Cloud library for streaming or download.

If your device is enabled for 1-Click purchasing in our Amazon MP3 Store, and it's lost or stolen, contact us as soon as possible. We'll need to disassociate the device from your Amazon.co.uk account to ensure no further purchases can be completed from the Amazon MP3 store on your device.

Note: If you are having issues signing in, please try updating to the latest version on the Amazon Appstore or the Google Play Store. The latest version is version 2.7.

Signing out

You can sign out at any time by tapping Menu, Settings, then Sign out.

Finding and Purchasing Amazon MP3s

Music purchases made from the Amazon MP3 app are charged to your default 1-Click payment method, which can be updated via Your Account on Amazon.co.uk.

All music purchased from the Amazon MP3 Store is DRM-free, which means that it does not contain any software that will restrict your use of the file. When you make a purchase from the Amazon MP3 Store you are accepting and bound by the Amazon MP3 Music Terms of Use.

Shopping for Music

You can shop for music by tapping the Store link from the app's home screen or in the upper navigation bar. If you don't see a Store and Player link, you have an older version of the application and we recommend that you upgrade.

Search for a title or artist

Enter the name of the artist, album, or track in the search bar. The search bar can be found by tapping the search button on your device, tapping Menu and then Search, or going to the Amazon MP3 Store home screen and using the search bar at the top. Results will be returned for artists, albums, and tracks that match the query.

Browse for a title

Explore available titles by Best Sellers, New Releases, or Genre by using the category links listed on the store's home screen.

Listening to Samples

Thirty-second samples are available for you to preview tracks in the Amazon MP3 Store. To preview a track, tap the track. To listen to tracks from an album, tap the album to go to the album page where you can tap individual tracks to preview.

Purchasing MP3 Music

Shop the Amazon MP3 Store's catalogue of over 20 million tracks and more than a million albums when you're on the go using the Amazon MP3 App for Android. The Amazon MP3 Store on Android features the same everyday low prices and special deals that are available on the Amazon MP3 website. The music you buy is saved to Cloud Player and can be downloaded directly to your compatible device.

To buy music:

1. Tap the button displaying the price of the album or track you want to purchase.
2. Confirm your purchase by tapping "Buy" or "Get".

The Amazon MP3 team is constantly working to offer you the greatest selection of music available, and our ability to offer music to you in MP3 format is limited by the rights granted to us by the record companies. Currently, not all record companies grant us a license to sell their music for download in the MP3 format free of digital rights management software. You may find tracks or albums available in the CD format that aren't available in the Amazon MP3 Store.

You may also find that not all tracks on an album are available to purchase individually. This may be at the request of the artist or due to other contractual reasons with the record labels. We promise to work our hardest to offer you a complete selection of DRM-free music downloads.

Supported file types

The Amazon MP3 Store delivers 256kbps MP3 files. Where possible, we use variable bit rate to optimise the quality and size of music files. Our MP3 format is the most widely compatible music file format and is supported by most media player applications, hand-held music devices, and some CD and DVD players. For more detailed information, please see our Media Formats help page.

Amazon Cloud Player and the Amazon MP3 Downloader support either .mp3 or iTunes .m4p files (Non-DRM AAC files).
