No ads.Īmazon Music Prime is a good middle-of-the-road music streaming service.
Same library as Music Unlimited, but with songs in HD, Ultra HD, and some in 3D studio sound. Amazon Music HD: Requires a subscription outside of Prime.60 million songs, playlists, stations, and no ads. With Amazon Music Unlimited: Requires a subscription outside of Prime.Two million songs, playlists, stations, and no ads. Limited to one device at a time. Amazon Music Prime: Included with your Amazon Prime membership.Similar to Pandora, it’s just playlists and stations with ads. Amazon Music Free: Does not require a Prime membership.Here are the basic differences (a full comparison chart can be found here): "Amazon has established a really strong position there, and voice is the interface for that environment.Amazon Music is actually comprised of four different subscriptions, each with various features and music libraries. “Historically, the home market has been driven by smartphones," Boom says. After a decade of tech companies rallying around a “mobile first” mentality, Amazon’s one-two punch of music and Alexa is focusing on "home-first." The greater goal is redefining the way we listen to music in our homes. Spotify and Apple Music have around 30 million songs each, and one would assume Amazon is trying to match that reach.īut Amazon’s aim isn’t just putting a dent in Spotify or Apple Music-even though the combination of a lot of music for a lower price with deep Alexa integration could help make that happen. For an extra $4 to $8 a month, Prime subscribers get access to the Music Unlimited catalog, which is at least 10 times bigger.Īmazon won’t offer a more-specific number than Music Unlimited having “tens of millions of songs,” but it’s a mammoth leap forward. Amazon Prime Music lives on, giving Prime members the ability to stream a couple million songs as part of their Prime subscription. Music Unlimited also won’t replace Amazon Prime Music altogether. It’s a decent extra for Prime subscribers, but it offers a fraction of the music the major streaming services do.
A couple of years ago, Amazon Prime Music launched, and it has about two million songs on demand. This isn’t Amazon’s first stab at a streaming-music service, but it’s certainly its most ambitious and compelling effort.
