Why You Can't Sync Amazon Music to iPod Directly

Although Amazon allows you to buy songs and download them in MP3 format to your iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire, iPod Touch , etc. What if you have collected hundreds of songs? This is not a small bill if you purchase all of them. Moreover, all music tracks from Amazon Prime Music or Music Unlimited are streaming media content with DRM lock. When you downloaded them to your devices, you may find they are cached files and saved in WMA format. iPod supports playing audio files in MP3, M4A, AAC and other compatible formats. You can't take them out from Amazon Music app and transfer the Amazon Music to your iPod device directly. To get Amazon Music onto iPod, you can use some third-party tools to rip MP3s from Amazon Music or convert Amazon Music to MP3 or AAC format. Here we highly recommend the Screen Recorder.
