‘Nintendo Music’ is a new mobile app from Nintendo giving fans access to thousands of songs throughout Nintendo’s history.
If you are curious to know what exactly is available on this mobile application, you’ve come to the right place. Keep in mind, you can only use this smartphone application if you have an “active” Switch Online membership.
We’ve put together this comprehensive guide on Nintendo Music, which covers every single platform, series, and game currently available on the service. We’ve also got some tips on how to create playlists, how to connect to smart speakers, and other general questions.
We’ll continue to update this page as Nintendo rolls out new albums.

FAQs
How do I create custom playlists in Nintendo Music?
Creating custom playlists in Nintendo Music is thankfully fairly straightforward.
- From the main menu, tap on the ‘My Music’ option on the bottom right. You’ll see an option labelled ‘+ Create Playlist’.
- Create a name for your playlist first, then click on ‘+ Add Tracks’.
- By default, the list will show all ‘Recently Played’ tracks, so if there are any favourites that you’d like to add to your playlist, tap on the ‘+’ icon on the right-hand side of the track title.
- If you’re after something specific, you can enter search terms in the text tool at the top of the page.
- Once you’ve selected your desired tracks, tap ‘Done’ to finish creating your playlist. That’s it! Your playlist will now show in the ‘My Music’ section of the app.
Can I link Nintendo Music to external smart speakers?
At the moment, no, it doesn’t look like there is any functionality to connect Nintendo Music to external speakers like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Homepod.
You can still connect to your Bluetooth headphones, fortunately!
How do I download tracks in Nintendo Music?
You can download tracks individually, or download entire playlists or game soundtracks. Oh, and make sure you opt to allow downloads from your device settings
To download an individual song, tap the song you want to download, then tap the three dots in the bottom right of the screen. Then, press the ‘download’ option to download the song locally to your phone. To download an entire playlist or album, press the download button — an arrow with a circle around it — which you’ll find next to the album art and star icon.
All downloaded tracks will show in the ‘My Music’ section of the Nintendo Music app.
To remove downloaded tracks, simply tap the selection from ‘My Music’, tap on the three-dot icon, and select the option labelled ‘Delete from Downloads’.
How do I extend tracks in Nintendo Music?
Many tracks in Nintendo Music can be extended to either 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
To do so, begin playing a track of your choosing. On the track page, you’ll see an option at the bottom that says ‘Extend To…’. Simply tap on this and choose your desired length of time.
Currently, you’ll need to do this separately for each track you listen to, however, Nintendo may provide an update in the future to allow extensions on multiple tracks at a time. You also can’t extend every track in the library, so no 60-minute version of Chozo Ruins from Metroid Prime for us…
Is Nintendo Music free?
Well, yes and no. Mainly no.
Nintendo Music is free to download via the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, however, you will need an active Nintendo Switch Online account to start listening.
