If I have Amazon prime I get prime music, right?

I am having trouble getting the prime music to show up on my Roku. The roku only sees Amazon music that I have purchased. Is there a trick to getting it to work?

Amazon is not supporting prime music on Roku- they want you to buy their device

Roku has mirroring capabilities - just play the music through your phone and push it to the Roku to play through the TV. Should work.

I don't have a smart phone. Could I do this through my computer?

Try this: LINK /

It says Windows 8.1, but I'm sure it'll work with 7 or 10 as well.

Hope it works.

Supposedly Windows 10 does not have Roku support yet.

If it helps at all, I have Amazon Prime Music but still find Spotify to be the superior service.

Amazons selection is atrocious compared to Spotify, or so I've found.

Yeah I've had Google music since it came out so I never use Prime Music. But someone just got me an Amazon Echo, and when iIask it to play a song, most are not available and all I get is a preview.

Just wanted to bump this to let everyone know that mirroring your laptop to your Roku using a Windows 10 device does work. I did it last night trying to play Star Wars from my iTunes library. I did have some issues with the resolution/screen sizing and ultimately opted to just watch the movie on my laptop, but I think had I played around with it some more I could have gotten it to work correctly. Think it was more an issue with iTunes...

I was able to wirelessly mirror my laptop and designate my TV as the main screen output (turned my laptop screen off) pretty easily.

It has gotten better the last few months but still has a long way to go. I look at it as just another perk of prime.
