Amazon Music Unlimited expands to the UK its first market outside the U.S. Amazons new on-demand streaming music service for Prime members Amazon Music Unlimited has taken its first steps abroad after launching last month in the U.S.to go head to head with Apple Music Spotify Google and the rest. The service which offers some 40 million songs on tap is now live in the UK. Prime members pay 7.99 per month or 79 per year; and those buying the service to use only on AmazonsEcho home speaker/interactive voice hub are charged a discounted 3.00/month. Amazon is not revealing take-up numbers for the US service to date except for giving a predictably upbeat spin on it: Weve been thrilled with customer reaction to the launch of Amazon Music Unlimited in the U.S. last month and were excited to quickly bring the service to customers in the UK said Steve Boom VPAmazon Music in a statement. As with the U.S. service Amazon Music Unlimited does actually have a limit of sorts: you have to be a Prime member to subscribe to it adding it to the list of sweeteners that the e-commerce giant offers to users in exchange for a monthly payment and free shipping. Other perks include video streaming and food delivery. Prime members pay 5.99 per month or 79 per year in the UK. While a lot of Echo ownerswho are already subscribers to Spotify or Pandora might have addeda skill touse those services over the Amazon device Amazon has made its own music service much more tightly integrated. And while Amazon is somewhat late to the party by launching this service now its this added functionality that might get more people to switch or at least try astreaming service (this streaming service) out for the first time. It starts at the start: to beginlistening you ask the voice response system Alexa Alexa start my Amazon Music Unlimited free trial. no need to activate a skill. And if you (like me) have found it sometimes hard to navigate Spotify with Alexa and the Echo Amazon adds in much more voice functionality. These include giving Alexa a line from a song to find it; giving it the name of an artist to create a playlist; asking for the latest track from a specific musician; asking for music from a particular time period; music by moods; and personalised playlists based on what you have listened to before by just asking Alexato play music. If you want a sense of the future of voice-controlled music go ahead and ask Alexa for a free Amazon Music Unlimited trial and play around on your Echo said Jeff Bezos Amazon CEO in a statement. If you dont know the name of a song but know a few lyrics if you want to hear songs from a specific decade or even if youre looking for music to match your mood just ask.Our U.S. customers love Amazon Music Unlimited on Echo and we think our UK customers will too.
