Then…

#2: The song is no longer available on the app
Although rare, some songs get removed from the Amazon Prime App by Amazon themselves.
Why?
Here are some reasons why this happens:
- The song has copyright infringement.
- The artist decided to remove it from their albums.
- Amazon changed its licensing agreement with the artist or their company.
“How do I know if this is the case with my playlist?”
It’s easy. Here’s how you can…
Check if a song has been removed from the Amazon Music app:
Step 1: Connect your phone to the Internet.
Step 2: Ensure that Amazon Music is in its Online mode.
Refer to the previous fix for the exact steps to do this.
Step 3: Tap Find.
It’s the option at the bottom of your screen that has a magnifying glass icon.
Step 4: Search the music you can’t play offline.
Simply type out its name in the search bar.
And if it doesn’t show up in the results…
Then it means the song has been removed from the app.
And there’s nothing you can do about it.
#3: Your Amazon membership has expired or was canceled
When’s the last time Amazon charged your card?
If you’re not sure…
Or it’s been more than a month since the last transaction…
Then your membership might have already ended without you realizing it.
But worry not. It’s easy to…
Check the status of your Amazon membership:
Step 1: Go to the Amazon website.
Step 2: Log in using your account.
Step 3: Head to the Your Memberships and Subscriptions section.
Step 4: You’ll see all your subscription details.
Including these options:
- Auto-Renew.
- Shipping details.
- Billing information.
Step 5: Tap the Billing Information option.
And ensure that the payment method you’re using still works.
Then…
Step 6: Turn the Auto-Renew ON.
Doing so will renew your Amazon Prime subscription automatically.
And it’ll also reactivate your Amazon Music in the process.
#4: You haven’t updated Amazon Music
Like any other app…
Your Amazon Music also gets regular updates from its developers.
These updates help you:
- Access new features.
- Improve your data security.
- Prevent bugs from your app.
And if you’re using an outdated version, not only will you miss out on these benefits…
Your app might also start to be incompatible with some of its features.
Including the offline streaming option, which you can’t access now.
But there’s nothing to worry about.
As it’s incredibly easy to update the Amazon Music app.
Both on Android and iOS devices.
