Amazon Music scraps storage subscriptions for MP3 imports

Amazon is planning to retire its Music storage subscription service, the plan that enabled Amazon customers to upload their own music to the company’s servers. Mind you, this doesn’t mean the Amazon Music or Amazon Music Unlimited products are being retired; rather, just the option to upload personal music libraries to the platform. You have until January 15 to sign up if you want this subscription.

Amazon quietly revealed its plans to retire the product, with customers first noticing a warning on the Amazon Music Storage Subscriptions page that states both free and paid plans will soon end. Amazon has confirmed to us that it is indeed ending the music storage option, but this does not affect any music bought from the company.

About Amazon Music Storage Subscriptions

The Amazon Music Storage subscription plans (free and paid) are being retired. New subscriptions will be accepted until January 15, 2018. You can upgrade your Amazon Music storage plan, until that time.

If you upgrade your Amazon Music storage subscription, you can store up to 250,000 imported songs in supported file types.

Tip: For information about supported file types, go to About File Formats .

After upgrading, your Amazon Music storage subscription automatically renews on the last day of your annual billing cycle, if auto-renew is set to “On.”

Important - Upcoming Changes to Music Storage Plans

Note: These changes only impact music you’ve imported. Music purchased from Amazon (MP3s or AutoRip from CDs) remains securely stored for playback and download.

Free 250 Song Storage Plan

As of December 18, 2017, the ability to upload music will be removed from the Amazon Music for PC/Mac app.

Music that is already uploaded can be played and downloaded until January 2019. See Downloading Your Music for more information on how to download.
