Amazon Prime Music?!?!!!

[JHZR2]

Im an Amazon Prime member, have been for a couple years. I may not renew costco, but this is the one membership that Ive held for a while, as it has been really useful for getting stuff for the baby, oddball items when they're needed, etc.

Well, I never used their prime movie service, but today I got an email about prime music.

I went on... They immediately looked up all the music Ive ever bought, and added it into my albums. Then, I can take any other music that is available on prime, and add it, and listen to it free, anytime.

I was starting to get sick of Pandora, primarily because they started playing ads in Spanish, which I find unacceptable. I think this prime music, and the app, is pretty awesome. Don't think Ill be using Pandora anymore.

Anyone else start using this?

Can you download it to iTunes? Or an iPod?

Received my notice today and started using it--nice perk and makes Prime even more worth it.

I have Pandora One, really because I hated the ads, but also there is music there I cannot find anywhere else--such as Dixieland Jazz, Big Band, etc.

They announced it a couple days ago, then put out apps for Android and iOS later that day. I installed it that night and started using it to listen to all the old bands I hadn't listened to in years. Good stuff.

I'll have to check that out. My Amazon Prime membership continues to pay dividends.

Not sure about iTunes, but there is an option to download songs to your phone for off-line listening.

This is exactly what I did - for peoplw who don't listen ONLY to new(er) music, It's pretty good, I think...
I also DL'd a bunch of 80's music that I like.
However, i did find some newer music like Cage the Elephant's album "Melophobia" which surprised me.

Love it! Listening now, actually.

<3 Amazon Prime.

A little light on certain genres but really since I have an account already, it's a sweet treat.

It hasn't replaced Pandora for me, but it's okay. As Pablo said, I'm already a member of Prime, so it's a nice side bennie. I'd like to see them offer stations like Pandora does and like iTunes Radio does. I'm sure that they'll get there over time. Rome wasn't built in a day.

JHZR2- I have also been a member for a few years. Not only do I enjoy the new music downloads I also enjoy streaming movies. I make up way more than my membership fee with the 2-day free shipping on all of my Amazon orders.
