Amazon is no longer just a place to buy everything we need online, it has many complementary services that make users not have to go looking for what they already offer you in other apps, it is the case of Amazon Music, their new streaming music service, where you can also buy it.
It is included in Amazon Prime and with it you can listen to more than two million songs offline, 40 hours a month without any interruption for advertising and all this without having to pay more. The good thing is that you can link it to all Amazon brand devices for its great connectivity and you can find it to download for free for Android and iOS.
Amazon Music has its own brand voice assistant, so you just have to tell it what you want to hear and you can automatically listen to it on the device. With this type of account on the platform, you will be allowed to use it on up to 10 devices.
Although it is included within Prime, Amazon Music has its own premium service, Amazon Music Unlimited, with which you will have 50 million songs at your disposal. This service has various rates, depending on the number of devices with which you want to connect it. Compared to other platforms such as Spotify, its catalog is more limited, placing it far from being considered direct competition.
This payment rate also has the options of being individual or family, depending on the number of people who will have access to the profile, one option will be more beneficial than the other. In the family plan each of the members will have their own music library independent of each other, so you do not lose anything of your own profile. All these options will be paid through your own Amazon Premium account, without having to give your payment details again. As with all paid subscriptions that the brand has, you can cancel it at any time.
It also has a cheaper paid version, Echo, which is a special rate with which you can listen to it exclusively through its Alexa smart speaker, but only out there.
As a good streaming music service, it allows you to do the same things as other applications, such as creating playlists, choosing one of those already created, listening to complete discs, etc. And the option to do all this offline, so as not to depend on an Internet connection. To be able to do it you just have to choose the song you want and click on download, once it is finished you will have the file so you can listen to them wherever and whenever you want.
Apart from songs, Amazon Music has a series of ready-made radio stations and playlists categorized by the most common and others that go according to the mood you have, such as those that can help you study or exercise.
Its use is very easy, you just have to download it to your mobile and start using it. When you enter and identify yourself, Amazon Music will automatically identify if you have a normal or premium account and thus offer you the catalog that corresponds to you, you can also enjoy a 30-day free trial so you know how it works.
At the bottom of Amazon Music we will find different sections such as "explore" to get to know different playlists, different stations, songs, etc. Here we have "recent" which is what we have heard lately, my music, the songs that we are adding and we also have the "voice assistant Alexa" to which we must give access to the microphone and we can search for a genre, some song, some playlist , or any particular type.
It should also be noted that if we want to listen to our music on another device, such as on your computer, you will be able to do it either in Prime or Amazon Music, directly from your browser you access the website and you will be able to use it in the same way as the application.
In the settings part you have information about your account, the option to subscribe to Amazon Music Unlimited with its trial version, how to manage the subscription, notifications, streaming preferences, quality and a lot of options that you can configure as you like. .
As TheDesk has revealed, Amazon Music will add free podcasts for its users in all its products, this has been discovered through an email to which the medium has had access. Soon you will be able to enjoy these programs regardless of whether or not they are paid subscription, although there is still no official date for this launch
