Personalizing your phone with a favorite track is one of the quickest ways to make your device feel like your own. It was fairly easy to set up a ringtone on your phone several years ago. But a boom in the streaming music industry has made things become a bit difficult to select any downloadable song as your ringtone. People now only have the ability to use the default ringtone on the phone instead of those liked tunes from streaming music platforms.

However, if you've ever tried to make an Amazon Music ringtone, you've likely realized there isn't a simple "Set as Ringtone" button inside the app. This is primarily due to Digital Rights Management (DRM). Music streamed via Amazon Music Prime or Unlimited is encrypted to prevent unauthorized sharing, meaning the files are locked within the app. Luckily, this guide will show you exactly how to make Amazon Music rings on an iPhone or Android phone.

Part 1. Can I Make a Ringtone from Amazon Music?

Yes, you can make a ringtone from Amazon Music, but this is only limited to purchased Amazon Music tracks, not including music from Amazon Music Prime or Unlimited. All tracks purchased from the Amazon Digital Music store are free of Digital Rights Management. Without a doubt, users can use those purchased Amazon Music songs as ringtones on a mobile device.

However, if you use an Amazon Prime user or an Amazon Music Unlimited subscriber, you cannot access the raw file as all the music in the library is streaming content. To make songs from Amazon Streaming Music, you will need a third-party music converter to convert the track for personal use as a local file. Then you can use Amazon Music as a ringtone on the device

Until now, lots of users cannot figure out Amazon Digital Music and Amazon Streaming Music. The two use different audio formats, and that's why some users cannot make Amazon Music ringtones. To make Amazon Music ringtones, you have to meet the required format depending on your device. The supported file format of Amazon Music and mobile phone ringtone is as follows.

Amazon Digital Music Amazon Streaming Music Device Ringtone
Audio Formats Unprotected MP3 Protected FLAC or OPUS M4R, AAC, M4A (iPhone)
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG (Android)
