may not actually start until July 16th, but early deals continue. Prime members can now free Amazon Music Unlimited. It is Amazon’s streaming music platform like Spotify, Apple Music and others. So that’s five months of unlimited access to almost every song ever made.
Again, this deal is only for current Prime members. After the free trial ends, the service costs $10 per month, which is in line with rival streaming platforms. If you want to worry about getting charged for your free trial, set a reminder to cancel before those five months are up.
This deal is exclusive to Prime members.
Amazon Music Unlimited didn’t make our list , but still a very nice choice. It narrowly missed out on the list due to a slightly less elegant interface than some competitors and aggressive podcast marketing. Otherwise, it’s a decent choice. It sounds good and the library is almost identical to other platforms. What else is there?
There is one downside that applies not only to Amazon, but to all music publishers. The payment to artists is absolute rubbish. Amazon Music Limited , right in the middle of Spotify’s range of $0.003-$0.005 per stream. However, Amazon has direct licensing deals with major labels, so someone like Taylor Swift probably got a better deal than that. Emerging artists, as always, say goodbye.
