If you don't care much about music, and just want to dabble with it here and there, Prime Music is a decent option. That said, you'll notice that some tracks and albums require you to sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited to hear them. Signing up for Amazon Music Unlimited causes the service to replace Amazon Prime Music as your Amazon jukebox, so you needn't worry about launching the wrong streaming service. Amazon now offers a free music tier that doesn't require a Prime or Music Unlimited subscription. With it, you can listen to select ad-supported playlists and thousands of stations via the web, Amazon Music mobile apps, Echo smart speakers, and FireTV devices. Some of the playlists include "Country Heat" and "Rap Rotation." You cannot play music on demand with this free option as you can using Spotify. The Listening Experience
Amazon Prime Music is stocked with more than 2,000 themed playlists and stations assembled by the rather pretentiously named collective known as Amazon's Music Experts. I found interesting collections, such as One Hit Wonders, Classical for Reading, and the oddly named 50 Great Epic Classic Rock Songs. Each playlist displays a track listing, the total runtime, and its curator.
