Yes, please add Amazon Music import!

Thanks, It's definitely on the list! Unfortunately Amazon will most likely not open their API anytime soon. I'm happy to look at some alternate solutions if you guys have some ideas 🙂

There is an insecure method to convert playlists using iframes. But you would want the user to run it on their own computer, because that method can access personal account information.

Is your app currently working?

it's working with Deezer and Spotify. I'm currently working on the Youtube implementation. It all works client-side so the iframe solution could work as it all happens in the browser. What's the solution like?

I don't know exactly, I just know the creators of Soundiiz refused to use it because it was insecure and could potentially access customer's Amazon address and billing info. I think this could be a lot safer if done user-side.

I know that Songshift, and a couple other apps already have this integration.

On a related note, I had a working method to scrape new releases by genre from Amazon Music, until they scrambled their releases (it was showing all the releases in order at one point). Now I'm resorting to web scraping until I find a better method.

Worse yet, they don't seem to show all the new releases anymore in a second redesign, at least not without a paid account (haven't verified that).
