Amazon's Android application for online music

If Google and Apple have already decided to release Google Play Music and Apple Music to take over Spotify, they probably had a good reason. At least that's what Amazon must have thought, and after releasing its platform for streaming online movies and series, Amazon Prime Video, to compete with Netflix and HBO, Amazon has now decided to try its luck in the to try the world of music.

Amazon MP3 has become Amazon's Spotify

The former shop with songs in MP3 format has given way to the internet giant's online music service. Born with the name Amazon Music, there isn't much to explain about its inputs and outputs and how it works since they are all very similar in these apps to listen to music on Android and iOS.

It arrived with 50 million songs that can be streamed and listened to via the built-in player, provided you have an Amazon Music Unlimited account. Once you've registered, which involves providing your payment details, you can freely browse the entire catalog of songs, artists, and albums. Otherwise, you can only play the music stored on your smartphone or tablet in MP3 format (a feature that is of course also available in the paid version).

Key Features

So this is basically the answer to how to buy music on Amazon... in fact, you can buy anything. It's definitely not a new formula for this company, which has already offered us Kindle Unlimited, which was basically a flat rate for books. These are the main features and functions offered:

• Over 50 million songs plus playlists and radio stations.
• Receive individual recommendations.
• New releases every day.
• Ability to download complete albums and playlists to listen offline.
• Pay monthly or annually.
• Listen to songs stored in MP3 format.

The question you've been waiting for: how much does it cost?

Now that you know what it is and how to use Music Unlimited from Amazon, all you have to do is figure out the most important aspect: the price. Well, just like its main competitors, this will depend on the type of subscription you choose:

• Individual account: a single account at €9.99 per month or €99 per year.
• Family account: six accounts at the same time for €14.99 per month or €149 per year.

If you're a fan of Amazon's services, it might be the right time to try this alternative to Spotify... if you've managed to get six friends or relatives together, it works really cheap.
