I’ve recently downloaded a ton of music using the Amazon Music app on my Android, but I can’t seem to find where those files are stored. If you’ve been in the same boat, you’re not alone!

Understanding Storage for Amazon Music on Android

When you download tracks from Amazon Music, they typically aren’t saved in your regular music folders where you might normally look (like /Music or /Downloads). Instead, they’re stored in a more protected area of your device. Here’s how you can locate them:

  1. Check the Amazon Music App:

    • Open the Amazon Music app. Navigate to the Library section.
    • Tap on Downloaded Music to see all the tracks you’ve stored on your device. This area will show you the songs available offline.

  2. File Manager Access:

    • If you’re tech-savvy and have a file manager app (like Files by Google or any other), you might be able to trace the storage as follows:
      • Most often, the downloaded tracks are saved in a hidden folder under Android/data/com.amazon.music/files/. This folder is usually not accessible without rooting your phone.

  3. Device Storage Settings:

    • Go to your device’s Settings > Storage. From there, you can check the Apps section to view Amazon Music’s specific data usage. This can help identify how much space the downloaded tracks are taking up, even if you can’t physically see the files.

  4. Cloud vs. Local Music:

    • Keep in mind, not all music files you download may be stored locally. Some songs might still be accessible only through the app due to digital rights management (DRM).

Troubleshooting Tips

If you’re still struggling:

  • Make sure your app is updated to the latest version from the Google Play Store, as older versions might have bugs regarding file storage.
  • You could even reach out to Amazon’s customer support for more tailored assistance regarding your downloaded music.

Conclusion

In summary, while downloaded music files from the Amazon Music app on Android can be a bit tricky to locate directly, with a few steps, you can manage your downloads better. Don’t hesitate to share your experiences or ask for more tips if you’re still having trouble accessing your music. Happy listening!

If you’re looking for your downloaded Amazon Music files, they are typically stored in the folder: Android > data > com.amazon.mp3 > files > music. You might find it easier using a file explorer app to navigate there.

Thanks for the tip! I was searching for them through the regular Music app and couldn’t find anything.

4

Yes! I had the same issue. The file path you provided is spot on. I had to download a file manager app to see hidden folders!

5

Isn’t it crazy how these apps have their own storage? Makes things so complicated! What about playlists? Are they stored somewhere else?

I know right? Playlists are usually managed within the app and aren’t stored as individual files. You might need to save them or export them if you want them outside the app.

To locate your songs, use a third-party file explorer like Solid Explorer. It shows hidden files and directories easily. It made my search way simpler!

8

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely check out Solid Explorer. Sometimes, built-in tools just don’t cut it.

You can also try searching for .mp3 files using your file manager’s search function. That could lead you straight to your lost tracks!

I thought I was losing my mind! Just realizing that music is stored in a separate folder. Who designs these apps? Anyway, thanks for sharing the paths!

11

Haha, I totally get that! It feels like a treasure hunt just to find a couple of songs!

12

If you still can’t find them, make sure you’ve downloaded them for offline listening. Sometimes they just won’t show up until they’ve been fully downloaded.

13

Great point! I’ve sometimes forgotten to actually download the tracks before looking for them.

14

I just went through this whole process! It’s a little frustrating. But hey, at least I learned about hidden folders and file paths, right?

At least it’s not as bad as trying to find a song from the '80s in your dad’s record collection! That takes real dedication!

Thanks for all the tips, everyone! It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this. Let’s hope Amazon makes it easier with the next update!

I’ve noticed that my Amazon Music files are stored in the device’s internal storage by default. If you’re looking to free up space, you might want to check the storage settings in your app.

Great tip! I didn’t know that. How do you access those storage settings on Android?

19

You can access storage settings by going to your device’s settings, then apps, and selecting Amazon Music. From there, you can clear cache or move files if you’re using an SD card.

I love the vibe of this thread! Managing storage can be such a hassle, but it’s worth it for my tunes! Anyone got tips on managing space without losing music?
