![]() ![]() Not yet ready to commit to Amazon Music Unlimited? Consider these alternatives…Īpple Music is comparable when it comes to audio quality and catalogue depth, and shows Amazon a clean pair of stack heels when it comes to music curation. ![]() Amazon Music Unlimited review: The competition Hopefully, its curation algorithms will improve over time, which would really put it in the running against Apple Music and Spotify, but for now we’ll take the savings. Pay just £7.99$8.99 or £/$9.99 and enjoy both hi-res tracks and spatial audio. When it comes down to bang for buck, Amazon Music Unlimited is arguably the best value music streaming service you can subscribe to right now, especially if you’re already an Amazon Prime subscriber. Headphones will take these and give you a binaural listening experience, which can be as dizzying as the ferris wheel ride at Donnington. If you’ve invested in a decent pair of high quality headphones for music, you’ll be well catered for.Īmazon Music Unlimited is also a big supporter of Dolby Atmos spatial audio mixes, good news, as there’s an increasing number of albums being released with an Atmos mix. CD quality (16-bit with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz) tracks are standard, which it labels HD, and there’s an increasing amount of Hi-Res 24-bit content too, which it calls UHD. Amazon Music Unlimited review: SoundĪmazon Music Unlimited may be somewhat me-too in terms of operation and usability, but it delivers big time in audio quality. If you’ve got an Alexa-enabled smart speaker such as the stunning Amazon Echo Studio, it also integrates neatly with the music service, for seamless voice control. In addition to streaming you can also download tracks for offline play. While Apple and Spotify, are migrating into the podcast space with gusto, Amazon Music is a little less fussed, and certainly doesn’t appear to be particularly phased about bagging exclusives, but there is a dedicated podcast catalogue to peruse. You get the feeling that Alexa has been charged with hammering together the playlists, and her heart isn't quite in it. Its ‘My Discovery Mix’ always appears a little too random. Fair cop.īut Amazon Music Unlimited is not so smart when it comes to new releases, and will joyfully push heinous pop and dance when I’ve already made it clear that my taste buds lean more to Billy Idol than Billie Eilish. If you’re already an Amazon Prime member, Amazon Music is included in your membership, but Amazon Music Unlimited gives you access to over 100 million songs in HD and millions in Ultra HD along with thousands of playlists in addition to discounted pricing, free two-day shipping, the entire Prime Video streaming library and lots of other perks.‘Because you follow Babymetal,’ it reasons sagely, you should like Ladybaby and Eskimo Callboy. Prime Day has officially started, which means you’ll want to become a Prime member so that you can have access to the two days of epic deals. However, Amazon’s Prime Day promo only applies to the Amazon Music Unlimited individual plan. Lastly, the student plan cuts your Amazon Music monthly membership to $5.99/month. There’s also a single device plan ($4.99 a month) to stream from a single Echo device or Fire TV. Amazon Music offers individual plans to stream anywhere, anytime, but you can also get a family plan ($16.99 a month) which lets you stream on up to six devices simultaneously and block songs with explicit lyrics. ![]()
