Streaming will be great they said. It’s about worse than cable now with everyone adding ads.

Well about two years ago they fricked up Amazon Music to the point that it is unlistenable, so this is par for the course.

It's basically just cable now, all these streamers doing their own thing plus commercials. And most of them aren't even really worth it. We've come full circle.

I remember thinking Freevee sucked but at least it was free.

So you paid for Prime for no commercials...

Then Prime added Freevee...then Prime becomes Freevee, but you now pay. Streaming has gone full circle back to the old.

Correct. I deleted the app. You can’t listen to Amazon Music without the ads.

I actually pay for it and downloaded an album for a flight. It downloaded each song as if they were individual albums and out of order. Literally unlistenable

This is why I pirate everything and have no guilt. It should also be said that I have prime for ordering items.

The shows I pirate work 10 times better on pirating apps than trying to watch them on prime. If a new show comes out on prime today I'll watch it on my apps, they're less glitchy and way more functional.

There's a non ad option for an additional $2.99 a month.

Amazon Music


Horrible. Interface sucks...Took forever to unsubscribe...they bury it in fine print clicks...they have constant unlimited ads...phone calls to cancel...was still charged...stereotypical call center bullshite...

You have to move to Calcutta to cancel and do it in person apparently. Its a grift of a music service.

Until someone tells me better, Tidal is a spendy but hassle-free, decent alternative with better sound compared to Amazon's piece of shite music service.

At least with cable you had TiVo/DVR and could fast forward through the commercials.

Man, if Amazon plays commercials during movies that I purchased....



It seems absurd, but once they raped Amazon Music, I could no longer directly listen to the music I had purchased through Amazon.

I pay for Amazon music Unlimited so I don't have any issues with ads. Every "free" service has ads these days. Look at YouTube.

Hulu has ads unless you upgrade.

Podcast have ads read by the podcasters

TuneIn Radio has ads unless you upgrade

Peacock TV has ads

FreeVee has ads

Tubi has ads

Games on your phone you download for free have ads


Nothing is free in this world. They have to pay the bills and ads pay Big $$$
