Amazon Unveils Amazon Music, a New Ad-Free Streaming Service

Amazon Unveils Amazon Music, a New Ad-Free Streaming Service


Amazon quietly took the wraps off of Amazon Prime Music this morning, a new ad-free streaming music service with over a million tracks in its database. You can stream on the web or listen on the go with the Amazon Music desktop, mobile, or web apps, and it's completely free for Prime subscribers.


News about the new service popped up this morning, even though there's been no official announcement from Amazon on the new streaming service. If you're a Prime subscriber, you can hit the link below to try it out, and if not, you can sign up or a 30-day free trial. Before you do though, it's worth noting that Amazon's streaming library is substantially smaller than most other streaming services. It's only about a million songs and "hundreds of playlists," pale in comparison to the dozens of millions the likes of Spotify, Google Play, iTunes Radio, Rdio, and others offer.


As you browse Amazon's music collection, you'll be able to see which songs you can stream immediately by looking for the Prime logo next to the song name, similar to Amazon Video on Demand. You can also share the music you listen to on Facebook or Twitter. Hit the link below to read more or check it out. (Note: Right now the service appears to be US-only.)
