Music Unlimited allows subscribers to play any song how they want and also get access to offline downloads and make custom playlists.Īnother benefit of the Music Unlimited plan is that subscribers can play HD and Ultra HD tracks (also known as lossless and hi-res audio, respectively) from select albums. This means that you can subscribe to just Amazon Music Unlimited without paying for other Amazon Prime services. Tip: Amazon Music Unlimited is $8.99 per month (single plan) above Amazon Prime membership, or $10 a month for non-prime members.

If you want full music listening flexibility you need to subscribe to Amazon Music Unlimited. When I asked Alexa to play a specific song by a specific artist from Amazon Music, it did start to play that song, so it looks like it may honor your specific request at least some of the time. Tip: I have Prime Music and two Echo devices. You can skip songs, but it doesn’t guarantee that the next song or artist played is the one you want. Instead, what can happen is that it may start playing related songs from your chosen artist or songs from other artists, and eventually get to the song you want. With this new option, when you ask Alexa to play a song or an artist, it may or may not play that specific song or artist. The previous “Included with Prime” music option was limited to 2 million songs, but you could request a song or artist and it would play just that artist for as long as their songs were available.

This is not handy if you like having background music in your home or office playing continuously all day, or music for parties. This means you need to “remind” it to play music every hour. Also, when you stream Music Prime to an Amazon Echo device it will time out after an hour of no commands.
