Amazon unveils Prime Music streaming service
Amazon goes after Spotify with a streaming service that offers access to a million songs and specially-curated music playlists

MANILA, Philippines – Following in the footsteps of other recent music streaming announcements, such as Spotify’s expansion to the Philippines and Apple’s purchase of Beats Music, Amazon is giving its Prime members something new to look forward to: over a million songs.

Amazon recently unveiled Amazon Prime Music, a new service that would provide Prime users with streaming music that they can listen to at their leisure from a collection of tens of thousands of albums.

The service goes on top of other features of the $99/year Prime membership including expedited shipping, Kindle book lending, and on demand TV/movie rentals. 

One of the major features that Amazon Prime Music is touting is its expert-programmed Prime Playlists.

Prime Playlists feature music curated to suit a specific theme, mood, or genre definition, and are meant to draw in users who want to listen to good music without worrying about picking and choosing from the extensive song list.

The service appears to be available mainly for users in the United States at present and is accessible by going to the Prime Music website.

The service is ad-free and works on iOS and Android smartphones, PC and Mac computers, and Amazon Kindle Fire tablets.  Rappler.com
