Amazon Music is an app that allows users to shop, play, manage, and download music. The new app provides Mac users with a seamless way to manage their entire music library -- whether saved on their computer or in the cloud -- and shop from the Amazon MP3 Store with a catalog of more than 25 million songs.

Features

• One-place for all your music: Play your Amazon and iTunes music all from one place, even when offline.
• A music library that is always up-to-date: Cloud Player automatically detects and adds new music to your library even if you bought it from iTunes or ripped a CD. The app does all the work for you.
• An integrated MP3 Store: You can shop from the Amazon MP3 catalog of more than 25 million songs and discover new music with personalized recommendations, all without having to leave the app.
• AutoRip: Buy an AutoRip CD or vinyl record from Amazon and a free MP3 version of the album will be added to your Cloud Player for Mac library.
• Built for speed: Forget bloated players with extra features you don’t need or use. Cloud Player for Mac is lean, mean and made for your music. It’ll get you from launch to play in seconds.
• Music management made simple: Download your MP3 purchases automatically or with one click. Export your music to other music players. Create and manage playlists using simple drag-and-drop.
• Instant search & play: Find music easily and quickly. Type anywhere to search for an artist, album or song and play directly from the search results.
• Rich artist content: See artist photos, bios, tweets, and gorgeous, large album art.
• Anywhere access: Music purchased using Amazon Cloud Player for Mac is securely backed up in the cloud for free and made instantly available on any Kindle Fire, Android phone or tablet, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Samsung TV, Roku, Sonos, PC or web browser.

Version 7.2.1.1554:

• Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.

You now need to install this program to download mp3 files purchased from Amazon (which I listen to in iTunes, and do not want to listen to in the Amazon Player). The user interface for the Amazon Music app is a bizarre confused mess. To make matters worse, when it is installed, it defaults to opening every time you log in. And it doesn't even do this so it can be turned off on the Users & Groups preference pane: you have to use its own preference menu, buried deeply in the "Advanced" tab. Not nice at all.
