Similar in concept to music services like Spotify or Beats Music, Prime Music provides access to approximately 1 million tracks from both\u00a0Warner Music Group and Sony Music. However, competing services that charge a monthly fee for subscription offer about 20 million tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Albums included in on Prime Music are from artists such as\u00a0Justin Timberlake, Pink, Bruno Mars, Blake Shelton, The Lumineers, Bruce Springsteen, and Madonna. Amazon has also created a number of pre-selected playlists that offer up music related to a specific theme. Customers can also create their own playlists to queue up on a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14458\" alt=\"prime-music\" src=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.net\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/prime-music-1024x557.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/prime-music-1024x557.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/prime-music-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/prime-music.jpg 1105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Similar to Amazon Instant Video, Prime subscribers can download entire albums or playlists to listen to when offline. This is a particularly useful feature when traveling on a plane, basically any area where Wi-Fi access is limited.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t an Amazon Prime subscriber, Amazon is providing free access for an initial 30-day period. After that point, you would have to pay the $99-per-year fee for Amazon Prime. Beyond the new music service, Amazon Prime also includes 2-day shipping on all qualifying purchases, access to thousands of movies and television shows on Amazon Instant Video (including a huge selection of HBO content added last month) and a book rental each month using the Kindle Lending Library.\u00a0You can read more about why <a href=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.net\/thecheckout\/features\/is-amazon-prime-worth-paying-79-a-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">we think Amazon Prime is a good deal here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, be on the lookout for more perks when Amazon launches their new 3D smartphone next week.
