Amazon Music Prime grew and it was not small. Amazon Music Streaming, included in the Amazon Prime subscription, saw the extensive Amazon Music Unlimited content jump from 2 million to 100 million songs in its catalog. In addition to the vast additions, the service also announced news for its podcasts and the launch of a feature that makes it easier for the listener to choose their next show.
Despite the huge leap, new music from Amazon Music Prime remains ad-free and can be listened to in shuffles, playlists or artist albums.
The same growth happened among podcasts, which proved to be another great bet on the platform and gained new exclusive titles, such as Baby, this is Keke Palmer, MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories and Killer Psyche Daily; I Hear Fear.
In addition, it was announced that these shows and the main podcasts of the platform will not have ads during their playback, which frees the viewer to listen to the programs of the CNN, ESPN and The New York Timesfor example, free from any interference.
Lastly, Amazon also shared that Amazon Music Prime will get a slight visual change thanks to the introduction of the feature. Podcast Previews. The tool allows the user to listen to special excerpts from the podcast while browsing, in order to have a small pill of that content to decide whether or not it is worth listening to.
Amazon Music intensifies cross-platform dispute
The huge growth of Amazon Music Prime means that, now, even the version available to Prime subscribers of the platform has entered the dispute for streaming music with the largest catalog. More precisely, in the first place, where it shares the position with Apple Music, which recently also hit the 100 million mark.
Then comes Deezer, with 90 million, and Spotify, which despite being the most popular service in the world, has “only” 80 million songs on its platform.
Different from Amazon Music Unlimitedwhich costs R$ 16.90 / month and entitles you only to the use of the service itself, Amazon Music Prime stands out in the scenario for being included in the Amazon Prime package.
For the price of R$ 14.90 / month, the package also gives access to Prime Video (streaming of movies and series) and Prime Reading (catalog with more than a thousand e-books). This, in addition to access to exclusive offers on the Amazon website and free shipping on selected products.
Added to the introduction of ad-free podcasts, these differentials make the race between streams even more pronounced. After all, since introducing a new advertising model, Spotify has been criticized for showing ads on its podcasts, even for subscribers who pay for the platform’s premium plan.
