That is, if you don’t mind limiting Amazon Unlimited Music access to just one Alexa device, you can use a special “for Echo” version of the service for just $4 per month. That is, Prime subscribers will pay an addition $8 per month-or $80 per year-for Amazon Unlimited Music.īut you can save even more if you have a single Amazon Echo or other Alexa-based device. The first is pricing: While anyone can subscribe to Amazon Unlimited Music for $10 per month, the standard rate found everywhere, Prime subscribers will save $2 per month, or $40 per year if they pay annually. But Amazon offers some interesting advantages over rival services. So far, this is exactly what one would expect.

(It’s available on Sonos and Fire TV as well, for example.) And Amazon claims a collection size, vaguely, of “tens of millions.” (Most rival services are now in the 30-40 million range, I believe.) It’s compatible with Android and iOS-based mobile devices, Windows PCs and Macs, the web, and other devices. Like rival services-market leaders include Spotify and Apple Music-Amazon Unlimited Music offers unlimited access to a cloud-hosted music collection for a monthly subscription fee. Key differentiators include what Amazon calls the service’s “breakthrough” pricing, and Alexa integration. Amazon today announced Unlimited Music, its new on-demand music streaming service.
