By Alan Martin, The Independent | In the 17 years since Spotify launched, streaming has grown to become the main way to consume music. Even as someone whose vinyl habit is struggling to keep pace with his physical space, I can’t be without the simplicity of streaming. Having almost all of the world’s music a tap away is just too good to turn down.
Amazon Music Unlimited may not have the name recognition of Spotify or Apple Music, but it’s one of the best music streaming services around, especially for Prime customers. These are its pros and cons to help you decide if it’s worth the money.
What is Amazon Music Unlimited?
Launching in 2016, Music Unlimited is Amazon’s answer to Spotify. It allows instant access to music on demand for computers, phones, tablets and smart speakers, with a library of over 100 million songs, many of which can be played in high-quality lossless format at no extra cost.
It’s not just about music, however, with over 70,000 podcasts and limited audiobook support via Audible, which I will go into a little further down.
It’s widely believed to be in third place in terms of market share, behind Apple Music and Spotify. In the US, as of February 2024, Amazon Music Unlimited is estimated to have a 23.8 per cent share of the music streaming market.
