AMAZON MUSIC EXPANDS FREE OFFERINGS

Amazon Music is offering its full catalog of 100m songs for free to Prime members. Starting today, Prime members can play any artist, album or playlist, plus stream a selection of All-Access playlists.

“When Amazon Music first launched for Prime members, we offered an ad-free catalog of 2 million songs, which was completely unique for music streaming at the time,” said Amazon Music VP Steve Boom. “We continue to innovate on behalf of our customers and bring even more entertainment to Prime members on top of the convenience and value they already enjoy. We can’t wait for members to experience not only a massively expanded catalog of songs but also the largest selection of top, ad-free podcasts anywhere at no additional cost.”

Listeners will see a new look for the Amazon Music app, including the new Podcast Previews feature, which lets customers easily preview sound bites from podcast episodes.

Members can also upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited to access music in HD, Ultra HD and Spatial audio.

Now, if they could just get the letter carriers to stop trying to put the LPs we ordered from Amazon in the mailbox, we’d be good.
