Amazon released two kinds of devices to use streaming services on TV, one of which is the Fire TV Stick. Fire TV Stick is a streaming device that needs to plug into the HDMI port of your TV so that you can watch live TV, and movies, and play music through different subscriptions. You can download apps and games on the built-in Amazon App Store or install Google Play on Fire TV Stick if you want to get more apps. Amazon Music App is apparently available on Amazon Fire TV Stick, so you can play your playlist on a large screen. In addition, Amazon Fire TV Stick has 8GB of internal storage which is enough for users to save apps, games, movies, and playlists from the Amazon Music app.
But you need to subscribe to Amazon Music and play songs via Fire TV Stick only within the Amazon Music app. And here we will introduce to you how to deal with this problem in the following part. We will not only introduce the official method of playing Amazon Music on Fire TV Stick but also an amazing solution to download and convert Amazon Music to a common format, such as MP3, and then keep them playable on Fire TV Stick.
Part 1. How to Play Amazon Music on Fire TV Stick With Amazon Music App?
As we mentioned earlier, generally speaking, the Amazon Music app comes pre-installed on your newly purchased Fire TV Stick, which means that all you need to do is find and open the app. If that's not the case, you can download it very easily through Apps & Channels. Once your Amazon Fire TV Stick is set up, you can see all the music you've purchased and simply select one to start playing.
As long as you're a member of Amazon Music Prime or Unlimited, you'll have access to its collection of up to 100 million songs. The difference is that only Amazon Music Unlimited members can play all the songs on demand. if you don't have either of them, you can skip to Part 2.
Step 1 Use your remote control to launch the Amazon Music app from the Apps menu.
Step 2 Once opened, search for your favorite music and press play to start playing the song.
Step 3 When you press play, your Amazon Music app will open a screen with the song being played and a progress bar. The lyrics can also start streaming on the screen.
Step 4 Your visit to another screen will not cause the music to break, and the song will continue to play in the background until you press pause on the remote media button.
Tips: If you think pressing the remote control is not convenient enough, you can press and hold the voice command on your Fire TV remote control and press and hold the voice function. Say "Amazon Music" and it will open the menu. Then you can find your favorite music to enjoy!

Step 3 Change the Output Format, Quality, and Other Settings
In the "Settings" window, you can complete the customization of the output parameters.

Step 5 Play the Downloaded Amazon Music on Fire TV Stick
Then the next thing you need to do is to find and open the output folder of your choice. Set this folder as a shared folder on your computer, or set it up on a dedicated media server, and then you can use VLC for Fire or Kodi to play any music you have stored and accessed on your home network. Of course, if you use this method, you need to make sure that your computer is turned on and connected to a stable network. Otherwise, it may affect your access to your downloaded Amazon Music folder.
If you want to use VLC for playback, install it and open it. Select Media and open the folder. Navigate to your music folder from the app and select the folder. Any audio format supported by VLC for Fire will be able to appear and be selected for playback.
Use Kodi to play music on Fire TV Stick. If it's already installed, open the app directly. Select "Music" and navigate to the folder containing the converted Amazon Music songs you've just set to shared status. Select one of the tracks from there to play.
Conclusion
