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

Amazon Music is seeking to compete extra with Spotify — and it could have discovered the right technique to just do that.

Amazon has announced that beginning now, Amazon Music Limitless subscribers within the U.S., UK and Canada will be capable to pay attention to at least one 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 most important catalog of audiobooks — together with music and audiobooks in spatial audio,” Amazon stated in a press release.

Spotify Premium subscribers have an analogous perk

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

Amazon’s strategy is barely totally different to Spotify’s. With Music Limitless, particular person plan subscribers and first account holders of the household plan will be capable to pay attention to at least one audiobook at a time — of any size — per 30 days.

Amazon Music Limitless is at present accessible to Prime Subscribers for an additional $10 a month (or $100 a 12 months). In case you’re not a subscriber to Prime, you may get Amazon Music Limitless for $11 a month. Spotify Premium at present prices $12 a month, which makes Amazon’s Music Limitless one greenback cheaper a month.

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