A few days ago, the guys from Amazon launched in the United States, a completely free streaming music service with ads, an independent service that we can currently find through Prime Music (With 2 million songs and free for Prime users) and Amazon Music Unlimited (subscription service similar to Spotify and Apple Music).
According to Music Business Worldwirde, it seems that the Jeff Bezos guys have no intention of stopping there, as everything points to by the end of the year it could launch a new Hi-Fi service, a service where the sound quality will be much higher than what we can find in any streaming music service, and which would be similar to the one currently offered by Tidal and Deezer.
If this release is finally confirmed, this move would rank it above Apple Music and Spotify in terms of audio quality, services that every quarter are gaining a large number of subscribers.
According to this information, Amazon is in talks with a large number of copyright owners to launch this service in High Fidelity. At the moment, it seems that one of the large companies has accepted and will license its catalog to this service.
This service, according to the same sources, could be priced at $ 14,99 monthly. Currently both Deezer and Tidal are the only two streaming music services that offer this quality of sound and they do so at a price of $ 19,99 per month.
It is more than likely that the price at which Amazon could offer this service, it will be as long as we are Prime users, a subscription that currently also reduces the price of its streaming music service to $ 7,99.
Apple has always been closely linked to the recording industry in recent years, thanks to iTunes, so it is especially striking that today rumors have appeared about the possibility that it can offer a music streaming service Hi-Fi, like Spotify, but being such a small market, It is likely that they will not be compensated for the efforts they can put into it.
