The music streaming market has become increasingly competitive over the years. While Spotify and Apple Music have been duking it out for paid subscribers, Amazon’s own service provides an intriguing alternative, especially if you’re a Prime member.
Amazon Prime subscribers get free access to Prime Music’s 2 million songs, but for $7.99 a month (or $79 a year), Amazon Music Unlimited provides access to 60 million songs. For those who want lossless music, Amazon Music HD is also available.
It helps that Amazon makes it easy to stream from Amazon Music through an Alexa-enabled speaker. Unsurprisingly, Amazon Prime Music is the default streaming option on Amazon’s range of voice-activated devices. Whether you have Unlimited or Prime Music, you enjoy a rich selection from Amazon’s own music catalog.
Amazon Music users have the added benefit of cross-platform listening. There are apps for mobile and desktop, but you can just as easily listen on the web or connected devices. Below we’ll look at some tips and tricks for the mobile apps (iOS and Android) and Echo devices.
