Part 1. How to Get Amazon Music on Fire Stick
Before you can fill your room with Amazon Music through an Amazon Fire TV Stick, ensure you have a few things ready. The setup process is straightforward, but having these items on hand will ensure it goes smoothly. You will need the following:
- An Amazon Fire Stick or Fire TV device connected to your television.
- An active Amazon account with either a Prime membership or an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription for full library access.
- A stable Wi-Fi internet connection.
How to Play Amazon Music on Fire TV Stick via App
The Amazon Music app comes pre-installed on most Fire TV Stick devices, making it incredibly easy to access. If for some reason, it isn't visible, you can download it from the Appstore in just a few moments. After that, you can directly stream Amazon Music on your big screen.
Step 1. Turn on your television and Fire Stick. Using your remote, navigate to the Fire Stick home screen. This is the main dashboard where all your apps and content are displayed.
Step 2. Look for the Amazon Music app. You can usually find it in the "Your Apps & Channels" row on the home screen. The icon is a blue square with a white musical note. If you don't see it immediately, scroll to the right to view all your installed applications.
Step 3. If the app is not on your device, navigate to the Appstore. You can do this by selecting the search icon on the home screen. Type "Amazon Music" into the search bar and select the app from the results. Choose the "Get" option to install it.
Step 4. Once the app is located, select it to launch it. The app should automatically sign you into the Amazon account that is registered to your Fire Stick, giving you instant access to your personal music library.
Step 5. You can use the directional pad on your remote to move between sections like Library, Browse, and Playlists to find the exact Amazon Music you want to hear. When you play a song, the screen will often display album art along with playback controls. For many popular tracks, you can even view scrolling lyrics, turning your music session into a karaoke-style sing-along.
Tips: Control Your Amazon Music with Alexa
If you have an Alexa Voice Remote, you can control your Amazon Music playback without ever having to manually navigate through menus. Simply press and hold the microphone button on your remote and use voice commands to play music. This hands-free control makes finding and playing songs effortless. Here are a few example commands to try:
- "Alexa, play today's top hits on Amazon Music."
- "Alexa, play my 'Focus' playlist."
- "Alexa, who is the lead singer of this band?"
