Amazon Music also stays behind Apple Music, who recently revealed that they have surpassed the 60-million mark. When it comes to the ever-lasting music streaming "wars," Amazon is still way behind Spotify, an industry titan that had a 30% of user increase to 248 million in the third quarter of 2019 alone, and the 31% increase in paid users, with the number reaching 113 million.
To those who don't know what is Amazon Music, it's a music streaming service, similar to Spotify, which comes with the Amazon Prime membership. It's also important to note that in Germany, the UK, and the USA, Amazon also offers an ad-supported version of Amazon Music. Of course, the company didn't officially release details about different pricing tiers, although it's been officially confirmed that Amazon Music Unlimited saw a growth of over 50% in the last year alone. However, we do know that the legendary e-commerce titan now has over 55 million users for their Amazon Music service. You can learn more about Amazon Music and Amazon Music Unlimited from the Amazon website.❗️Amazon was never really keen on releasing official numbers about its users. But those who pay still gain additional features, including the ability to play any song at any time, lossless HD quality music on all tracks, Ultra HD quality on millions of tracks, thousands of expert-programmed playlists and stations, and a growing catalog of spatial audio content mastered in Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio.
Of course, this change blurs the line between Amazon Music, which is free to Prime members, and Amazon Music Unlimited, which costs $9.99 per month for non-members and $8.99 per month for Prime members. “Prime members can explore music and podcasts based on their likes shuffle play any artist, album, or playlist in the catalog and stream a collection of All-Access playlists tailored to personalized listening preferences on demand and available to download for offline listening.”Īdditionally, Prime members will benefit from many ad-free podcasts, new Amazon Exclusive podcasts, and a refreshed Amazon Music app. “We’ve expanded our music benefit for Prime members to bring them 100 million songs in shuffle mode, the most ad-free top podcasts available, and features that make it easier to discover new content in the Amazon Music app-all at no additional cost to their membership,” the About Amazon blog explains. They cannot arbitrarily play any song in the catalog. There is, of course, one major limitation: Prime members can only shuffle-play content. But now, Amazon is giving members access to the entire 100 million-plus song catalog as part of the same membership. Amazon announced today that it is making one perk of its Prime membership even more valuable: Previously, Prime members could access a curated library of 2 million songs via Amazon Music as part of their membership.
