Part 1. Pros and Cons of Amazon Music Unlimited
Why choose it - Pros
Once you start a subscription, the entire Amazon Music Unlimited catalog is available to you through the Amazon Music app or Amazon Music for Web.
It provides with tens of millions of songs with new releases from today's most popular artists.
New subscribers can try Amazon Music Unlimited with a 30-day free trial. After the free period, you'll automatically be charged for the individual plan until you cancel.
If you are Prime Members, you can get discounted monthly subscription pricing and an annual renewal options. For example, if you don't subscribe to Amazon Prime, a Music Unlimited membership will cost you $10.99/month, but if you do have a Prime account then you'll only pay $9.99/month or you can $99 for a whole year. $5.99 per month for students enrolled at an accredited college or university. $14.99 per month or $149 per year for up to six family members.
Amazon Music Unlimited also works on its homegrown Echo and Dot wireless speakers. If you listen to Amazon Music Unlimited for Echo, it also offers a membership for £3.99/month but you can only stream music through the Echo speaker or Echo Dot.
If you have one account, you can use it on up to 10 devices. All the music can be downloaded offline like Apple Music or Spotify. You can play the music on on the iOS, Android and Fire tablet platforms.
And Amazon has worked to further its service’s functionality, integration and intelligence with its voice-control assistant.
I don't like it - Cons
No other new things to attract me
If you already have Amazon Prime, or an Amazon Echo, the discounted monthly pricing will be an ideal choice. Like me, I don't have Amazon anything, why i will cost $9.99 per month for Amazon Music Unlimited. This price is as same as what I pay for Apple Music, Spotify or the like. Moreover, it supports big catalog, curated playlists, personalized stations and so on, there is no big differences from the other streaming music services.
