I am surprised that people know what amazon music is.

    It’s not bad actually. There’s two tiers:

    • Music Prime is included with your Amazon Prime membership. It’s ad free and plays like Pandora. You select a song or artist then it plays that and similar on shuffle with skip limits. Streaming quality is limited.
    • Music Unlimited is a separate subscription. It too is ad free and plays like Spotify. It’s on demand music with no skip limits or forced shuffle. Streaming quality is user selectable up to the highest quality.

      It’s not included if you don’t have Amazon Prime. Not sure how it’s in the states, but my experience with Amazon is absolutely horrid. Both in terms of service and the knockoff products they promote and sell.

      In other words, Music Prime is more expensive than Spotify while being marginally better than any other free music platform. And Music Unlimited is literally just Spotify, but more expensive.

      Even if I actually had Amazon Prime, I don’t really see the appeal… Even Spotify is a hard sell, I only have it because my gf shares it with me though a family thingy.

        It’s not included if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

        I said that though… It’s a basic streaming service.

        Not sure how it’s in the states

        In the states, Amazon Prime membership includes the shopping experience, Prime Music (like Pandora) and Prime Video (with ads) for $14.99 a month. If you want just the music, you can subscribe to Music Unlimited alone. No need for Prime. Amazon Music Unlimited is $10.99 a month. Spotify is $10.99 a month. So no difference in cost.
