Underwater Audio's Guide to Amazon Music

This guide is for Delphin Users.

We recommend that first-time users follow this help page step by step, from top to bottom.

First we will cover what you need to use Amazon Music on your Delphin, then we will cover first time setup, and finally we will provide troubleshooting resources.



What you'll need

A strong WiFi connection

While making any changes to your playlists or while downloading your music, you must be connected to a strong WiFi connection. We recommend being as physically close to your WiFi router as possible. Due to the efficiency of the waterproofing on a Delphin, it does have a shorter WiFi range than other comparable electronic devices.

An Amazon Music account

To start you will need an Amazon Music account. If you do not have one already, we recommend setting up an account on either your Computer or Phone to have an easier time with your keyboard and screen size. We also recommend creating your swimming playlists this way as well.

A paid Amazon Music subscription

Amazon Music offers a few different options for streaming content:

  • If you have purchased music through Amazon, you can listen that in this app for free.
  • Amazon Prime members can stream from a limited catalogue of music (around 2 million songs) and download and listen to those tracks offline.
  • If you have an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, you will have full access to the Amazon Music catalogue.

This link will take you to Amazon Music’s website to tell you the differences between the subscription levels.


Step 1

Download Amazon Music onto your Delphin

  • If you're setting up your new Delphin for the first time:

Your Delphin may present an option to download the Amazon Music app to you during the set-up process. Click on it to download.

  • If you have already set up your Delphin and want to add a new app:

Open the Help App by tapping Blue Question Mark on your home screen, and then selecting ‘Install Apps’. Amazon Music should appear on the list of popular apps. Click on it to download.

 

(Tip: If you will be using Amazon Music frequently, we recommend adding it to the home screen of your Delphin for easy access. To add applications to your home screen, hold down on your home screen until white borders appear. Select the space you want Amazon Music or any other app to go, then select the app in the menu that appears. Once you are satisfied with your home screen, click the back button to lock in your settings!)


Step 2

Sign into Amazon Music on your Delphin

Open Amazon Music by clicking on the three white horizontal lines at the bottom of your screen and selecting the app. Select 'Log In', enter your username and password, then submit.

 

(Tip: Your Delphin's screen may turn off quickly between steps during set-up. To make setting up and installing anything on your Delphin easier, go to Home Screen > Help App (Blue Question Mark) > Open Android Settings > Display > Sleep and choose a longer sleep time, like 10 minutes, to keep the screen from going dark too quickly. We recommend going back and turning the screen down to a lower time after you have finished setting up your apps as keeping the display screen on drains battery life.)

Remote Connect

Remote Connect is optional, but it makes logging into your apps much easier.

Remote connect will enable you to log into your apps using your iPhone or Android smartphone. This is extremely useful when you are getting your Delphin ready for the pool for the first time.

Step 3

Download playlists for the pool

Before you head to the pool, you will need to get your apps ready for offline use, as WiFi doesn't work in the water.

Turn on your sound and watch this short video to learn how the process is done in Amazon Music.

Here is a brief overview of the process

1. Open Amazon Music by clicking on the three white horizontal lines at the bottom of your screen and selecting the app. Sign in to your account.

2. Choose a playlist from your library, and open it.

3. Download the playlist by pressing the 4th icon from the left, under the playlist title.

4. Once your playlist is downloaded, test it out by playing it with your WiFi off. If your music plays while your WiFi is off, you're all set!

(Tip: You can turn your WiFi off by swiping down from the top of your screen until you see a volume slider, and selecting WiFi to turn it off. Then, you can swipe that screen away by putting your finger at the bottom of your screen and swiping upward. You can also turn it off by going back to your home screen and clicking the blue question mark to open the Help App > Open Android Settings > Network > WiFi > then toggling WiFi off at the top right.)


Troubleshooting

Here are some troubleshooting resources to help get you swimming with music!

Amazon Music also has great help pages and information. There are individual help pages to show you how to Create a Playlist and Download Music.

How do I remove a playlist from my Delphin?

Amazon Music has a specific feature unlike other streaming services. If you log out of your account on your Delphin device, it will automatically remove all of your downloaded content. If you are trying to clear out your space, this is a very quick way to do it. Unfortunately, if you log out by accident, you will be required to download your playlists again for offline listening.

If you select ‘Remove from My Music’ this will delete the playlist from your entire account, not just the Delphin.

How do I uninstall the Amazon Music app on my Delphin?

On the home screen of your Delphin, click the three white horizontal lines at the bottom of your screen and scroll until you find your Amazon Music app. Hold down on the app until a new menu appears. Select 'Uninstall.' We recommend turning your Delphin off and back on again after uninstalling.

My Amazon Music is not playing while off of WiFi.

There are a couple of things that can cause this issue:

1. Make sure your playlists are downloaded onto your Delphin by following Step 3 above.

2. At least once a month, you will need to reconnect your Delphin to the internet to allow Amazon Music to verify that your account is active. This will still matter even if you use your Amazon Music account on your phone or computer. The Delphin Player has to be reconnected once a month to the internet so that any paid subscription apps (Audible, Spotify, etc.) can verify for billing purposes.
