Amazon Starts Music Streaming Service Without Universal
This article is for subscribers only.
Amazon.com Inc. introduced advertising-free music streaming with more than a million songs, ramping up competition against Apple Inc., Spotify Ltd. and Pandora Media Inc.
Prime Music is available to subscribers of Amazon’s $99-a-year unlimited-shipping Prime program, the company said in a statement today. The service doesn’t offer many new releases or tracks from the world’s largest record company and instead features hundreds of pre-selected playlists such as “Pop to Make You Feel Better” and “50 Great Epic Classic Rock Songs.”
