Waking up to your favorite Amazon Music songs sounds perfect, but Amazon Music doesn’t offer a built-in “set as alarm” feature. Depending on your device, you may need to rely on Alexa or convert Amazon tracks for use with your phone’s default Clock app.
Below, I’ll show you two reliable ways to use Amazon Music as your morning alarm in 2025 — one with Alexa and one with NoteBurner for full flexibility on iPhone and Android.

If you want to use Amazon Music as an alarm sound with an Amazon Alexa-enabled speaker (like an Amazon Echo), here’s how to set it up:
Just tell Alexa the alarm time and what music you want. For example:
Alexa will then schedule the alarm — when it goes off, your chosen song/playlist/artist will play instead of a standard beep.
If you prefer setting alarms manually:
Step 1 Open the Alexa app on your phone.
Step 2 Tap More > Alarms & Timers.
Step 3 Tap the "+" to add a new alarm. Choose time, device, and repetition settings.
Step 4 Tap Sound. If you previously used a music-alarm via voice, you should see your song/playlist listed under “Music Tones” — select it.
Step 5 Save the alarm. When it rings, the music you selected will play.
If you want your phone’s Clock app to play Amazon Music as an alarm, you’ll need the song in a normal audio format. Tracks inside the Amazon Music app are protected, so they can’t be added directly to iPhone or Android alarm settings. NoteBurner Amazon Music Converter helps you save songs from Amazon Music as MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, or ALAC while keeping their original quality.
The steps are simple. Add Amazon Music to NoteBurner, choose your output format, and convert it to a local file. After transferring the file to your phone, you can set it as an alarm just like any other audio track. With this method, you can easily set Amazon Music as an alarm on your phone and wake up to the exact sound you prefer every morning.
The program is available in both Windows and Mac versions. Here we will use the Windows version as an example to guide you in converting songs from Amazon Music to MP3 format, so you can set Amazon Music as alarm easily.
Step 1 Download and Launch NoteBurner Amazon Music Converter
Download, install and launch NoteBurner Amazon Music Converter. Choose the "Amazon Music App" or Amazon Music webplayer download mode.
Step 2 Add Amazon Alarm Tracks to NoteBurner
Simply drag and drop a song or playlist from the Amazon Music app to NoteBurner, then click Add.
Step 3 Customize Output Settings
Click the "Settings" button on the bottom left. Here you can choose output format (MP3/AAC/FLAC/WAV/AIFF/ALAC), output quality (320kbps, 256kbps, 192kbps, 128kbps), as well as output path.
Step 4 Convert Alarm Sounds from Amazon to MP3
Click the "Convert" button to start downloading Amazon Music to MP3, or another audio format on your PC.
Step 5 Find Downloaded Amazon Alarm Sounds
After conversion, click the "History" button to view your downloaded Alarm tracks. Click the "Folder" icon next to a song to locate the files on your computer.
iPhone cannot directly set a local MP3 file from Files as an alarm. You must add the song to your Apple Music library first (via iTunes/Finder on a computer). Once the song appears in your iPhone’s Music app, you can use it as an alarm.
Step 1 On the "History" window of the NoteBurner, select the songs you want to transfer, then click "Export to iTunes".
Step 2 Open your iPhone, go to "Settings > Apps > Music". Then turn on “Sync Library”. Later, you'll find the Amazon songs are automatically synced to your iTunes library/ or Apple Music list on the phone.
Step 3 Open the Clock app. Go to Alarm, and tap "+" to create a new alarm.
Step 4 Then tap Sound → Songs → Pick a song. Choose the Amazon Music track you synced to your iPhone and save the alarm.
Step 1 Transfer the converted Amazon songs from your computer to your Android phone via a USB cable.
Step 2 Open the Clock app, go to Alarm, and create an alarm.
Step 3 Tap Alarm sound → Add new, then browse and select your local Amazon song.
Step 4 Save the alarm. It will now play your selected song when it rings.

A: No. Phones can’t pull alarm audio directly from Amazon Music. If you want a specific track, you’ll need Alexa or a local audio file that works offline.
A: Most iPhone and Android Clock apps only support built-in tones or local audio files, so streaming services like Amazon Music won’t appear in the alarm sound list.
A: This usually happens when the track isn’t available due to region limits, connection issues, or changes in your Amazon Music Unlimited plan. Alexa switches to a similar song to keep the alarm working.
A: Your alarm will still ring, but Alexa will use a default tone because it can’t stream the selected Amazon Music track.
A: No. The iPhone Clock app doesn’t support streaming music for alarms. Only local audio files work, even if you later cancel subscription.
