Amazon Prime Music could lastly be price it due to new free perk

Amazon Music is trying to compete extra with Spotify — and it might have discovered the proper method to just do that.

Amazon has announced that beginning now, Amazon Music Limitless subscribers within the U.S., UK and Canada will have the ability to hear to 1 audiobook a month from Audible’s huge library of greater than 1 million audiobooks.

“The addition of the Audible catalog makes Amazon Music Limitless the premier vacation spot for audio leisure — now with entry to greater than 100 million songs in HD audio, probably the most high podcasts ad-free, and the biggest catalog of audiobooks — together with music and audiobooks in spatial audio,” Amazon stated in a press release.

Spotify Premium subscribers have an identical perk

Amazon’s transfer right here is little doubt to compete with Spotify’s audiobook subscriber perk. With the very best tier of Spotify Premium, customers can take pleasure in 15 hours of audiobook listening each month, with entry to over 250,000 audiobook titles within the music streaming large’s catalog.

Amazon’s method is barely totally different to Spotify’s. With Music Limitless, particular person plan subscribers and first account holders of the household plan will have the ability to hear to 1 audiobook at a time — of any size — monthly.

Amazon Music Limitless is at the moment out there to Prime Subscribers for an additional $10 a month (or $100 a 12 months). For those who’re not a subscriber to Prime, you will get Amazon Music Limitless for $11 a month. Spotify Premium at the moment prices $12 a month, which makes Amazon’s Music Limitless one greenback cheaper a month.

I feel this can be a sensible transfer by Amazon to assist degree the enjoying subject with Spotify. Moreover, if you end up having fun with audiobooks and wish much more entry to them, Amazon additionally provides an Audible Premium Plus subscription, which provides one free audiobook a month, however the distinction is subscribers get to maintain it.
