Thanks for your interest in helping bolster the Amp music library with your original music. Adding an independent upload function is important to us. In the meantime, we’re working with key music distributors to make sure independent artists’ catalogs can be available in Amp. You can upload your music to CD baby, sound drop, tunecore, ingrooves, and (soon) distrokid, and your music will appear in the Amp library within 60 days.

Yes, Amp is compatible with most Echo devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show). Amp is also compatible with the Alexa mobile app on both Android and iOS devices. You can use the Alexa app even if you don’t own an Alexa device. This means that anyone with an Android phone can download the Alexa app to listen to Amp.

To start listening, simply say “Alexa, play Amp.” You can also say “Alexa, next” to find the perfect show for you. Alexa can even find your favorite artist when they are live on Amp. Just say, “Alexa, play Tinashe on Amp” or another artist you’re looking for. Alexa can also find your favorite live Amp show. Just say “Alexa, play ‘Music Lovers Only” or another show title to start listening. To access more features like call-in or to create a show, continue to use the Amp app. Please note that Amp is not yet compatible on third-party Alexa enabled devices (Fire TV, Sonos, Bose, etc.).

You sure can. When a show is live on Amp simply say, “Alexa, play ‘Music Lovers Only,’ on Amp” or another show title you’re looking for to start listening.

Is the creator you’re looking for live? If so, give it another try! Alexa is only able to find creators and shows when they are live on air. If a creator isn’t live Alexa will either let you know when their next show is scheduled and drop you into a show currently live on Amp.

The show host can turn the call-in feature on or off. If you can’t see the call-in button, it means the host isn’t taking callers at that time – or is at capacity, with a maximum of 5 callers. When the button is visible, tap it, and you’ll see it transition to a “waiting” sequence to signify the host has been notified. If the host accepts your request, you’ll be notified and given the option to join or decline.

Amp is a live service and shows are most easily discovered when live. You can swipe through live and upcoming shows from your homescreen (left and right). Search and discoverability features will evolve with our community. Subscribe to the Amp Newsletter for product feature updates, news, and creator opportunities.

But you better get listening! Replays are only available for a limited time.

We’re constantly iterating on Amp to try and deliver the best experience possible for our community. We’ve heard from many Amp creators that listener counts could make Amp feel like a popularity contest, and we’re experimenting with their removal to encourage listeners to look past the number of listeners and discover new content they’ll love.

Creators can still see their listener count while hosting a show, and like counts are still available on every Amp show.

We’d love to hear what you think.

• If you’re using headphones, please check your connection
• If the headphones are wireless, please ensure that they are charged and close to the device
• If issues persist, report a bug using the chat bot at the bottom right
