From Actualidad iPhone we commented to you recently which Amazon planned to release a free streaming music service for everyone, without having to pay for your Prime subscription or Amazon Music Unlimited.
Now Amazon just announced in a Press release that this service has already arrived, at least in part and as the beginning of what is to come.
Users with Alexa-enabled devices, such as Amazon's Echo speakers, will be able to request music and it will play smoothly.. No need for an Amazon Prime account, no need for an Amazon Music Unlimited account or subscription, and no payment required.
The service will work, for these users, completely free of charge and it will be maintained thanks to the ads they will play in the style of Spotify Free.
Of course, If we have a subscription to Prime or even Amazon Music Unlimited (or, already put, Spotify Premium or Apple Music), we will use these services They are ad-free and with fewer limitations.
Amazon's goal with this is clear, it is be able to always offer music to your customers and that when they want to listen to something on the speakers with Alexa, there is always something, pay or notWhether or not you have a subscription to a streaming music service.
The service will work in a similar way to Spotify Free. We will not be able to download music or play our lists or songs in particular, we will simply be able to listen to stations based on a song, artist, genre, era, etc. and Amazon will choose the songs that suit the most.
As they remind us from Amazon, If we want to listen to the specific music that we want or not have ads, we must purchase the subscription to Prime or Amazon Music Unlimited.
This service, currently only available in the United States and for users of devices with Alexa, it may expand to more countries and is even available on more devices.
