Apr 25, 2016 xda-developers General discussion Questions and Answers [Q] Where does Amazon Music store downloaded Prime music? By ant-iphone XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality.
I have recently installed Amazon Music, I am a Prime customer. Music from my cloud has downloaded to my device (Galaxy S3) but I want to move it to my SD card. I cannot find the music files anywhere to move them.
Does anyone know where they are?

I ultimately found the m4a files in /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.amazon.mp3/files/Music
The trick, however, is that they are hidden files. They do not appear when viewing the folder with either the native file manager or RootExplorer (even when 'Show Hidden Files' is checked). They are found only by using RootExplorer to search the device for 'm4a' files.
At least now I know they are on the SD card anyway.
First check Amazon Music App Menu, Settings (gear wheel icon), tap Storage Location.
If set External, try looking in CardAndroidMediacom.Amazon.mp3
If set Internal, try looking in PhoneAndroidMediacom.Amazon.mp3filesmediaMusic
Then usually subfolders by Artist.And yes, finding them each time is highly annoying! On Galaxy S5 with Android Marshmallow/6.x, I used the standard My Files manager to add a shortcut to the My Files start screen for my Card folder.
On my Galaxy S5, this is the path:
PhoneAndroiddatacom.amazon.mp3filesMusic
My phone software, including Amazon apps, are current versions for today's date.
On my Galaxy S4 downloaded music goes to /storage/sdcard0/Music
And streamed music goes to /storage/sdcard0/amazonmp3/temp/.streamcache
Nexus 5X Marshmallow, Amazon player download location.Just using File Manager, using the directory tab not the category tab (did not have show hidden files selected) and literally go to Music folder. All my Amazon downloads were found in the Music folder.
(SD-card)storage/emulated/0/Music
