What Does Amazon Music Unlimited Offer?

Amazon Music Unlimited offers a library of songs and albums that can be streamed to computers and devices, including Amazon's Alexa devices, and a wide variety of mobile devices. As you might expect, the music comes without advertisements and can be streamed without limits.

Amazon Music Unlimited may have a slightly smaller library of songs and albums compared to other established streaming music services, such as Spotify and Apple Music. Amazon Music Unlimited claims "tens of millions" of songs, while some other streaming services boast 30+ million.

Besides the ability to cherry-pick songs and albums, Amazon Music Unlimited also offers professionally curated playlists: compilations of songs that fit into familiar themes, such as by genre, artist, and so on. You can also add to your own custom playlists songs that you've discovered while browsing Amazon's library.

What is the audio quality of Amazon Music Unlimited?

The song bit rate for Amazon Music Unlimited is up to 256 kbps and is not compatible with high res . It has the same sound quality as Apple Music, a similar service. It feels a bit worse than Spotify's 320 kbps maximum sound quality, but it's actually a difference that you hardly know the difference.

In addition, the file format is "variable bit rate" , keeping the file size small while maintaining high sound quality.

By the way, neither the app version of Amazon Music Unlimited nor the PC version has the equalizer function. It will be enjoyed with the original sound quality. In particular, please be careful when you are particular about the tone.
