Can You Add Amazon Music to Windows Media Player?

Technically, you cannot add songs directly from Amazon Music to Windows Media Player due to DRM protection. The tracks you download from Amazon Music are encrypted and cannot be recognized by Windows Media Player.

To make them compatible, you must first convert Amazon Music to DRM-free formats such as MP3, which is supported by Windows Media Player.

Why Can't You Add Amazon Music Directly to WMP?

Amazon Music uses DRM encryption to protect its digital files, preventing unauthorized copying or playback outside the Amazon ecosystem. This means even if you download the songs, they are stored in a proprietary cache that Windows Media Player can't read.

To overcome this, you must remove DRM from Amazon Music before adding it to WMP.
