AMAZON LAUNCHES NEW ON-DEMAND MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE
Aims to push Echo speaker through cheaper subscription...
Amazon has launched its new streaming service Amazon Music Unlimited.
According to a report from The Verge, the platform hosts "tens of millions" of tracks from a vast array of major and independent labels.
Subscriptions currently cost $9.99 a month, the same as Spotify and Apple Music, however Amazon is offering two other packages in an effort to undercut its competitors.
The first brings the price down to $7.99 per month, however you have to be an Amazon Prime subscriber, which pretty much makes the $2 saving pointless.
The other deal is for those who purchase the Amazon Echo, a voice-activated smart speaker, which also allows access to Spotify and all sorts of other apps. Owning one of these nifty gadgets (which cost about £150) brings the subscription price down to $3.99 per month.
