It’s game on at Amazon as its new streaming music service, called Amazon Music Unlimited, kicks off today. For $8 a month or $80 a year, users can stream tunes from Amazon’s considerable catalog, and if you’ve got an Amazon Echo homebot, you can get Music Unlimited for just $4 per month. The service offers many of the same features as those it competes with, such as Pandora, Apple Music and Spotify.
Amazon says playlists are curated by both humans and computers, and yes, Alexa can take over DJ duties for you, including requests by voice of course. There are also radio stations based on artists, genres, and even particular decades, along with lyrics and even commentary from artists about their music in an interesting feature called “Side by Side.” You can use Music Unlimited free for 30 days before deciding if you need yet one more streaming music service.
