Amazon music on iTunes library

Hi,

This is an extract from Amazon website:

"To access and play your Amazon Music purchases in iTunes or Windows Media Player, you first need to download the songs to your computer. You can then move the downloaded files from where they're saved on your computer to your iTunes or Windows Media Player library. 

To add your downloaded music to iTunes: 

1. Open the iTunes app.
2. Select Add File to Library from the menu.
3. Browse to the file or location where you saved your download (e.g. your default "Downloads" folder, "Your Music," your "Desktop"). 
4. Select each track you want to add and confirm."

Hi,

I find this hard to believe.

Mp3's purchased and downloaded from Amazon store do not have DRM. They can be added to iTunes library and any other music playing app.

Can you play the track on QuickTime?

Music you have purchased can be downloaded to your computer. By default it will be put into an Amazon Music folder that is inside your Music folder. You can then drag the music just downloaded into iTunes. However you cannot download Amazon Streamed music to iTunes which is what I suspect you were trying to do.

I just bought one song and can confirm there is no problem. The downloads from Amazon are normal MP3s that can be added to your iTunes library the usual way.

What might be confusing your "tech" person is that the Amazon Digital Music Store -- just like the iTunes Store and Google Play Music -- does a lot of things to nudge you into subscribing to their streaming service rather than buying a download. If you ignore all that, it works the way it always did.

It’s wrong. I bought an album on Amazon an hour ago. Downloaded the music, imported into iTunes and played on the way home.
