You can do the same with artists or albums. While you’ll no longer be able to ask Alexa to play “Freebird” on a whim, you can add it to a playlist and hit that next button until those sweet, dulcet tunes start pumping through your home or wearables. Unlike the free version of Spotify mobile, which limits you to six song skips per hour, Amazon Prime subscribers can create a playlist of their favorites and skip until they land on the song they want. If you know how to curate your collection, this change is far from a dealbreaker. This can be frustrating if you’re not a fan of shuffling tunes. That’s because you can only listen to music through Prime Music on shuffle now. However, some people are not happy about the change just yet. The company just expanded the free music library to include 100 million songs.
After all, Amazon Music is the only place where you can jam out to Garth Brooks's "Friends in Low Places." That's a win for Bezos if I've ever seen one.If you’re used to listening to ad-free music through Amazon Music Prime, your experience is about to get better. Considering how essential Prime feels these days, I wouldn't be surprised to see some users jump ship. A new "Podcast Previews" tool selects soundbites from specific episodes of a show, which could make discovering your next favorite podcast a little easier.īetween the free streaming library and the focus on podcasts, it's clear Amazon is coming for Spotify's crown with this move. Wondery shows like SmartLess are now played ad-free for Prime members, as are all Amazon-exclusive shows. Of course, because no music streaming platform can just stick to, you know, music, Amazon is also promoting its podcast lineup with today's announcement. Neither of those limitations is unlikely to matter to anyone who uses streaming music enough to pay for it, which isn't this plan's targeted audience. So what other differences remain between Amazon Music Prime and the $8.99 (Prime-subsidized) Unlimited plan? Prime-only listeners can't listen offline - again, with the exception of All-Access playlists - and can't stream Amazon's high-fidelity audio.
