So we focused on building a great catalog of stuff that people like to listen to and making that stuff free.” Speaking on The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Boom said: “When we talk to consumers, what do they want? The biggest thing they don’t like about podcasts is all the ads, not surprisingly. Still, if you’re not fussy about listening to songs in order, or can make do without hearing ‘Master of Puppets’ specifically while doing the dishes, it’s a great perk for Prime members to enjoy.Īmazon is also making many of its podcasts available ad-free to Prime subscribers, which is something Amazon’s VP of Amazon Music Steve Boom has said customers have complained about in the past. Spatial audio and high-res audio are also off the table, meaning you’ll need to pay $9 a month for a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited.

You can’t choose a specific song like ‘Enter Sandman’ by Metallica but you can enjoy listening to ‘The Black Album’ on shuffle, or Metallica’s entire discography.

Prime subscribers can access over 100 million songs in Amazon Music, ad-free, but you’ll only be able to shuffle through artists, tracks, and albums (thanks, The Verge ). 💰 High-res audio and spatial audio are only available to Amazon Music Unlimited subscribersĪmazon Prime members can now enjoy Amazon Music for free as part of their subscription, but there’s a catch. 💯 You can shuffle any artist, album, or playlist from Amazon’s 100 million songs 🔀 However, you won’t be able to play songs on demand and will have to make do with shuffle 🎧 Amazon will let Prime subscribers access its entire music library for free
