Amazon has lied to compete with big technology as one more company to keep an eye on. Their Kindle e-books have been unrivaled in recent years and its new Echo products, with most of which included Alexa, are being a top seller.
In addition, It seems that it wants to compete in more and more sectors, like the rumored ones AirPods style headphones they want to get out. To finish positioning, you also want have a completely free streaming music service.
The service would not be part of their Prime program, as Prime Music already does., which is a streaming music service of more than 2 million songs that Amazon offers included within the Prime quota to its customers.
This new service would become part of the Amazon Music Unlimited service. A service such as Apple Music or Spotify Premium, which offers us a much larger catalog than Prime Music (more than 50 million songs), for a price of € 9,99 per month (and other options, such as for the family for € 14,99, € 3,99 per month or for an Echo device for € XNUMX per month).
On this occasion, Amazon's new service would be similar to Spotify Free. A way to listen to music from Amazon Music Unlimited for free with restrictions, such as not being able to download content, etc. and, in addition, advertising, which would be the source of Amazon's income in this service, which could be called “Amazon Music Free”.
Amazon already competes against Spotify and Apple Music with its Amazon Music UnlimitedBut this move, thanks to its extensive portfolio of Echo speaker users, may well popularize the service as a way to listen to music for free on your Echo speaker. And, of course, try to make you pay for the Amazon Music Unlimited version in the future.
The service could be launched in the next few weeks, but the exact date or its geographical distribution is not known for now.
