Amazon Music is now included in Amazon Prime, bringing members 100 million songs in shuffle mode, and podcasts. Full story from the iMore Blog...
This is a nice benefit to Amazon Prime members who are casual music listeners. I don't buy Prime but I know those who do.
I don't think this will affect Amazon Premium, Apple Music or Spotify premium subscribers. Just IMHO, I can't imagine listening to music without full control of songs and playlists. But I can see the free=ad supported listeners getting less listening time from users. ((Hearing ads between several songs? Yea to hell with that ))
I do have Premium, mostly to buy little oddities I could not easily find otherwise. So not having thought of it before because I use Spotify (all remastered). I got the Premium Music app and set up a small playlist of un-remastered music. On checking said playlist I get a message that Amazon has taken it upon itself to add tracks that I had not carefully examined first. Well, that’s the end of that then !
PS, I like short,album length playlists.
