How to Play Amazon Music on Galaxy Watch 8/7/6/5/4/3 Online & Offline

Part 1. How to Play Amazon Music on Galaxy Watches Officially [3 Ways]

If you're wondering whether you can play Amazon Music on a Samsung Galaxy Watch, the answer depends on your watch model. The availability of apps varies according to the operating system (Tizen OS or Wear OS) and hardware specifications. Samsung's earlier smartwatches - such as the Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2, and older - run on Tizen OS, while newer generations starting from the Galaxy Watch 4 have switched to Wear OS. This change makes a big difference in app compatibility, including support for Amazon Music.

Tizen OS: For Galaxy Watch models powered by the Tizen operating system (Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2, and earlier), the Amazon Music app is not available or compatible.

Wear OS: Newer Galaxy Watch models (Galaxy Watch 4 and later) run on Wear OS, which supports more third-party apps, including Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and others.

To find out whether your specific Galaxy Watch supports the Amazon Music app, please check the compatibility table below. In short, Galaxy Watches running Tizen OS are not compatible, while those running Wear OS are compatible.

There are two official ways to install the Amazon Music app on Galaxy Watches running Wear OS, which includes Galaxy Watch 4 and later models.

Part 2. Best Way to Add Amazon Music to Galaxy Watch for Offline Listening

If you're looking for a universal way to enjoy Amazon Music offline on any Samsung Galaxy Watch, you'll need an additional tool. This section will show you how to add Amazon Music tracks to any series of Galaxy Watches easily. The process involves downloading DRM-free Amazon Music tracks first, then transferring them to your watch. The supported audio formats for Galaxy Watches include:

Galaxy Watch-supported Audio Formats	MP3, M4A, OGA, WAV, WMA, 3GA, AAC, OGG, AMR, and AWB
Amazon Music	Protected FLAC or M4A
AudFree Amazon Music Converter	MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and M4B

From the table above, you can see that the Samsung Galaxy Watch supports importing audio files in MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, and other common formats. However, Amazon Music songs are encrypted in protected FLAC or M4A formats, which prevents them from being transferred to other devices. Fortunately, with the help of AudFree Amazon Music Converter, you can convert Amazon Music tracks to Galaxy Watch-compatible formats without any restrictions.

This powerful Amazon Music converter saves the converted songs as local audio files. After conversion, you can easily transfer and play Amazon Music on any Galaxy Watch, including Galaxy Watch Active, Gear, and newer Wear OS models.
