Amazon is encoring another classic trick from its Prime Day deals bag for those who enjoy streaming music. Amazon Music Unlimited, its comprehensive music streaming service, is significantly discounted, and we’re not even sure that’s the correct term here. 

Normally, Music Unlimited costs $8.99 per month for Prime members and $10.99 for others. But with this early Prime Day deal, new subscribers can enjoy four months of one of the best music streaming services for free. With Prime Day officially starting tomorrow and ending after July 12th, we expect this deal to end by then too, so take advantage while you can. 

Amazon won’t even show this offer if you’re signed into an account that has ever subscribed to Music Unlimited, so if that’s you, don’t be alarmed when you follow this deal to an error page. For those lucky enough to be brand new listeners, Amazon will begin debiting your account after four months, but you can always cancel the service before then if you’re unsatisfied.

A tempting Amazon Music Unlimited deal for sure 

Amazon Music Unlimited may not be the prodigious pick among a host of music streaming platforms, but it’s a robust service that provides good value for money, especially with the current deal.

Although other services like Spotify and Tidal occupy different ends of the price and feature spectrum, Amazon Music Unlimited successfully combines reasonable costs with quality features and a deep music catalog. If you already have Spotify and want to know more about how this deal weighs up, check out our Spotify vs. Amazon Music guide.

For instance, Tidal’s schtick is that it has the largest library of hi-fidelity tunes, but Music Unlimited bears an impressively sizable library of more than 75 million “HD” songs (lossless CD quality) and over 7 million “Ultra HD” songs (up to 24-bit, 192 kHz bitrate). They don’t all match the highest level of audio quality you’ll find on Tidal, but unless you’re an aficionado sniffing out nuanced notes in grandiose symphonic compositions, you probably won’t notice. And if you are that type, you can probably afford the $1,000 pair of headphones needed to fully enjoy it that Tidal’s $20 monthly charge doesn’t sting.

In addition, Amazon Music Unlimited offers thousands of tracks with spatial audio enhancements powered by Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio, compatible with virtually any pair of headphones and select smart speakers. The best tracks of that ilk envelop you in sound to make you feel like you’re actually attending a concert.

Amazon has a vast selection spanning decades of genres and artists. Whether you enjoy chart-topping pop hits, thumping hip hop, bluesy jazz sessions, or timeless classical pieces, Music Unlimited probably has it. However, if your taste is super niche, you might find a few gaps.

We could spend many more words delving into all the other industry-standard benefits Music Unlimited has, but the best way to figure out whether it’s right for you is to try it. For a grand total of $0 for the privilege, there’s no reason not to.
