Amazon has launched a limited-time offer on its Music Unlimited subscription, giving new Prime members four months of ad-free access for just 99p per month. The deal coincides with Prime Big Deal Days on October 7 and 8 and runs until October 9, after which the price reverts to the standard £10.99 monthly rate for Prime members.
Non-Prime members can also take advantage of the promotion, securing three months for 99p each month. Once the discounted period ends, their subscription will cost £11.99 per month. The service provides access to 100 million songs in HD, with millions more available in Ultra HD and Spatial Audio, offering studio-quality sound.
In addition to music, subscribers can listen to ad-free podcasts such as The Rest Is Politics, The Diary Of A CEO and Staying Relevant. The subscription also includes one free audiobook per month from Audible. Tracks and playlists can be downloaded for offline listening, and personalised recommendations are available across devices including mobiles, tablets, laptops, Fire TV and Amazon Echo.
User reviews of the service have been largely positive, with many praising its music recommendations and reliability. One user noted that it is brilliant at finding suitable song choices, while another described it as a reliable service with a great selection of music and podcasts. However, some criticism has been raised about the interface and the cost, with one listener finding it slightly expensive and another annoyed by album covers appearing when changing tracks.
The offer places Amazon Music Unlimited in direct competition with other streaming platforms. Spotify Premium costs £11.99 per month and offers ad-free music, offline downloads and high-quality audio, while Apple Music is priced at £10.99 per month, featuring over 100 million songs and 30,000 playlists. Amazon's current promotion, however, provides a significantly cheaper entry point for new subscribers during the Prime Day period.
