What is Amazon Music Unlimited?
Amazon Music Unlimited is a premium streaming service that gives you on-demand access to over 100 million songs, all ad-free, with unlimited skips. It is a separate, expanded service from Amazon Prime Music, which offers a smaller, rotating library to Prime members at no extra cost. Amazon Music Unlimited provides the full catalog, allowing you to play any song, album, or playlist whenever you want, and you can transfer music from Amazon music to MP3 player for offline listening on devices that don't support the app. Before you can start building your library, you'll first need to access Amazon music on your preferred device.
Individual plan pricing
The standard Individual plan costs $9.99 per month. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you get a discount that brings the monthly cost down to $7.99. For those who prefer to pay once a year, the annual option is $99 for non-Prime members and $79 for Prime members, saving you roughly two months' worth of fees compared to the monthly rate.
Student plan pricing
Students enrolled at a degree-granting college or university can get the full Amazon Music Unlimited experience for just $4.99 per month. This plan includes all the same features as the Individual plan, ad-free streaming, unlimited skips, and offline listening, at half the standard price. You will need to verify your student status through a third-party service during sign-up.
Family plan pricing
The Family plan costs $14.99 per month and covers up to six family members, each with their own personal account and separate music library. Prime members can choose an annual Family plan for $149 per year, which provides a discount compared to paying monthly. All members get the full catalog, ad-free listening, and high-quality audio options.
What's included for the price?
Beyond the massive song library, your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription includes high-resolution audio at no extra cost. You get access to HD streaming (up to 850Kbps), Ultra HD streaming (up to 3,730Kbps), and Spatial Audio formats like Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio with the main premium plans. Subscribers in the U.S., UK, and Canada also receive one free Audible audiobook stream per month. This allows you to listen to a full audiobook from a rotating selection without using a separate credit or paying extra. You can also download music from Amazon Music for offline playback, which is useful for saving data or listening without an internet connection.
