Amazon today announced Amazon Music Unlimited a streaming music service that offers on-demand access to tens of millions of songs.
Amazon is offering Music Unlimited at several different price points. The standard price is $10 per month for non-Prime members and includes unlimited playback across all the user’s devices.
People who subscribe to Amazon Prime can get this plan for $8 per month. Alternately, those who own an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, or Amazon Tap can subscribe to the Echo plan, which provides unlimited streaming to just one of these devices for $4 per month.
Last, Amazon Unlimited Music will also offer a family plan (soon) that allows up to six family members to use the service across their devices for a single fee of $15 per month. Amazon’s new music service includes ad-free listening, and will permit local downloads for offline playback.
People who own an Amazon Echo or other Alexa-powered device can ask for songs by name, artist, album, decade, and more. It differs from the Amazon Prime Music service in that it includes more songs and doesn’t match or sync with user-owned libraries.
Amazon Unlimited Music competes with Apple Music, Google Play Music, and Spotify.
