For those unfamiliar, Amazon Music is a free and ad-supported music streaming services that was launched earlier this year for Amazon’s Echo speakers and Alexa devices. However, it seems that Amazon has since made it more widely-available for non-Amazon speakers and devices.
According to Amazon, “Beginning today, Amazon Music customers who do not yet have a Prime membership, or a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited, can now listen to an ad-supported selection of top playlists and thousands of stations for free on their favorite devices.” It should be noted that Amazon Music is different from Amazon Music Unlimited, which is a perk that Amazon Prime members get.
One of those differences is that this version will come with ads, similar to the free version of Spotify. This means that users will need to put up with ads appearing every now and then in between tracks.
