Content: As the Prime part suggests, the first service is included as part of an Amazon Prime membership which costs £79.99 / $119 per year and gives you access to around 2 million songs, a fraction of the of the 50 million songs you get with Amazon Music Unlimited. Move up to Music HD and you get millions of songs (not the full 50m, mind) with at least double the bitrate, to use a technical term, and up to 10x the bitrate of songs streamed via the standard Music service. Even if you can live with the 2 million tracks available with Prime Music, it's worth noting that Prime members don't get it for free: it’s one of the benefits of having a Prime subscription, along with Amazon Video and the faster Prime delivery for items ordered from Amazon's website. Don't get us wrong, it's excellent value compared to paying for Spotify and Netflix separately, then paying separately for delivery on everything you buy from Amazon. Like other streaming services, Amazon Prime Music lets you stream music on demand over your internet connection. That can be on your phone, but it can also be on your computer or via an Amazon Echo smart speaker. The latter is one of the most convenient ways to access Prime Music since you can simply ask Alexa to play a song, album or playlist. Naturally, you can also download songs and albums to your phone so they can be played offline. For an in-depth comparison, read Prime Music vs Amazon Music Unlimited.
