Amazon MP3 Store on the Pixi

I like the Amazon MP3 store on my Pixi. I was wondering if it would be possible to download previously purchased songs through that app onto my phone? I know I can transfer the MP3 via USB cable on my computer, but being able to access over the air would be a super benefit.

 

Thanks!

Re: Amazon MP3 Store on the Pixi

Hello and welcome to the forums;

 

The Amazon MP3 store allows one download per purchase. I would strongly recommend backing up your purchases via the USB mode to protect them, as you would need to rebuy your music if your device was lost or stolen otherwise.

 

Hope this helps,

Re: Amazon MP3 Store on the Pixi

FIRST - FREE MP3 DOWNLOADS FROM AMAZON:

    Amazon does have various selections of Free MP3 Downloads.  It is possible to use the built in Amazon MP3 purchase app to 'buy' the Free MP3's, and have them delivered to your phone.

 

ALREADY PURCHASED MP3's - My god, I've been trying to work that one out. 

 

A.  AMAZON CLOUD DRIVE - if you sign up for a FREE "CLOUD DRIVE" from Amazon, you can re-upload all you previously purchased MP3's and store them (or re-download etc...).....    But I do not think it is possible (I could be wrong, but I've spent hours trying) to get Amazon previous purchases directly on to your phone via Amazon.

 

B. STREAMING YOUR MP3's

 

THE FREE APP "MP3 Tunes for WebOS" does work.  You have to open a FREE on line account, upload your MP3's to the MP3Tunes on-line storage.  You CAN then stream your MP3's to your Palm Pixi Plus.

 

ALL IN ALL - however, streaming even with good WiFi takes a while to begin, can learch and has playback issues worse than the regular built in MP3 player.

 

BUT - using MP3Tunes App - you CAN CREATE PLAYLISTS and play your music from a list (which I don't know why you can't do with the built in app??)

 

C. The FREE App called "TunIn by RadioTime" did allow me to stream FREE Radio when tested (I don't listen to radio, so I don't know how great it works, but it does work streaming some radio."

Re: Amazon MP3 Store on the Pixi

The same product cannot be bought for free from amazon, though you have purchased it already as it charges for each download.
