It’s all powered by Alexa, Amazon’s female technology voice that executes your commands through a cylindrical speaker called Echo you set anywhere in your home. If you have one, you already know how easy it is to use the device and how much music was already available for free before Thursday’s announcement of Amazon Music Unlimited, an on-demand music service with a catalog of tens of millions of songs and thousands of hand-curated playlists.
Amazon Music Unlimited is available now for $7.99/month or $79/year for Prime members. It’s $9.99/month for non-Prime customers. They are also offering an exclusive “for Echo” subscription plan which is available for only $3.99/month with full access to Amazon Music Unlimited
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said, “Amazon Music Unlimited brings real value to the millions of people who are already Prime members, with a choice of subscribing for only $7.99 a month or even $79 per year. Plus, customers are going to love Amazon Music’s all-new app for iOS, Android and desktop. And if you want a sense of the future of voice-controlled music, go ahead and ask Alexa for a free Music Unlimited trial, and play around on your Echo. If you don’t know the name of a song but know a few lyrics, if you want to hear songs from a specific decade, or even if you’re looking for music to match your mood, just ask.”
