Amazon Prime Music might lastly be price it because of new free perk

Amazon Music is seeking to compete extra with Spotify — and it might have discovered the right method to do exactly that.

Amazon has announced that beginning now, Amazon Music Limitless subscribers within the U.S., UK and Canada will have the ability to hear to at least one audiobook a month from Audible’s large 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 prime podcasts ad-free, and the biggest 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 doubt 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 large’s catalog.

Amazon’s method is barely completely different to Spotify’s. With Music Limitless, particular person plan subscribers and first account holders of the household plan will have the ability to hear to at least one audiobook at a time — of any size — per thirty days.

Amazon Music Limitless is at present obtainable to Prime Subscribers for an additional $10 a month (or $100 a 12 months). In case you’re not a subscriber to Prime, you will 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 feel it is a sensible transfer by Amazon to assist stage the enjoying subject with Spotify. Moreover, if you end up having fun with audiobooks and need much more entry to them, Amazon additionally presents an Audible Premium Plus subscription, which presents one free audiobook a month, however the distinction is subscribers get to maintain it.
