Last spring, Amazon launched its live audio-streaming platform, Amp, which aims to reinvent radio with “an infinite dial of shows.” Amp offers users access to a vast, built-in music library to create their own DJ sets with. No need to buy songs or flirt with the DMCA, just make a playlist, go live, talk in between tracks, follow the chat and even invite callers. A little over a year later, Amp is finally available on Android.

    For a moment I thought it was Amazon’s version of Google Amp. I’m relieved that it’s an audio-streaming platform.

    Any iOS Amp users that can recommend Amp? Seems like there’ll be either a huge number of streams or almost none

      You don’t need to interact with anything if you don’t want to. Just fire up the app, start listening and go back to doing your stuff.

        Spotify already works fine for that. What’s the advantages of amp for a simple listener?

          It’s a radio show basically, so you’ve the hosts talking about stuff, maybe something about the track or the casual banter etc. Kinda like Twitch, but for music.

          If that’s not your thing though and you just want to listen to music only, then yeah there’s no point using it over Spotify.

      You can get it via Aurora Store. The app itself works fine without a VPN or anything - there’s no restrictions within the app.
