Where it runs

English Amazon Music sites only: music.amazon.com, .ca, .co.uk, .com.au, .in, and .ae. Local Files is that playlist in your library.

Picked files are remembered as file handles in this browser so you do not have to choose them again after a reload. The audio itself is not copied into the extension.

Privacy

No account with us

There is no sign-in to the developer, no analytics, and no server of ours. Removing the extension removes it.

Audio stays here

The extension reads files you pick and plays them in the browser. It does not upload audio to the developer and does not store audio bytes on a server. Extension storage keeps names, not the files.

Amazon, only for the anchor

Finding or creating the empty playlist that Local Files uses happens with the Amazon Music sign-in already open in that tab. Those requests do not include your audio. The playlist is private.
