Troubleshooting: Why You Can't Download Amazon Music on Android

Although downloading Amazon Music tracks is a straightforward process, you may encounter issues. Let's discuss the common fixes.

1. “Download” button is greyed out

Possible reasons:

• The song is not included in your Unlimited catalog in your region.
• VPN or IP mismatch—Amazon thinks you are in another country.
• Temporary licensing restrictions from the label.

Fix: Log out → Reboot the app → Disable VPN → Log in again.

2. Song not available for offline playback

Some tracks only allow streaming, not offline download, due to:

• Artist/label restrictions
• Regional licensing limits
• Your account is recognized as Prime, not Unlimited.

Fix: Go Settings > Your Account > Subscription

3. “Download Failed” error on Android

Common causes:

• No storage permission
• Insufficient device storage
• App cache corruption
• SD card read/write issues

Fixes:

• Enable Permissions: Settings > Apps > Amazon Music > Permissions
• Clear Cache: Settings > Apps > Amazon Music > Storage > Clear Cache
• Switch from SD card → internal storage
• Restart device

4. Region restriction

If you see “Song not available in your location,” Amazon detected a mismatch.

Fixes:

• Disable VPN
• Match account region + payment + IP
• Update your 1-Click region settings if you moved countries
