Amazon Prime Music

Checking it out now. Seems decent.

I like to compare it's selection to the old 12 CDs for a penney club. There's plenty there, but most of it isn't the latest and greatest. For the most part it's strength is you can download songs to up to 4 devices for free, so if you don't have a big data plan it's great, but I still use Free Spotify when I'm on wifi.

They did a catalog update recently and added a bunch of new music in the last month. Lots of 90s rock is on there now which was a pretty big hole before, they also added a lot of country, pretty much everything they played at the CMT awards a few weeks ago is on Prime. They also have Adele's new single Hello, I guess in hopes of getting you to buy her new album which she isn't streaming. And now you can play her last album as long as several of Taylor Swift's past albums.

But I tired to check for some 90's rock and couldn't find some songs.

You can upload up to 250 songs that you've ripped (or perhaps "found") for free. I ended up buying a few Greatest Hits and compilation albums to cover some of the holes they had for me. I figure in another year or 2 data plans will increase in size enough that I'll use Free Spotify full time, but for now buying a few albums is cheaper than increasing my data plan and/or paying $10 a month so I can download from the other services.

I use to do those all the time and since I was under 18,I got out of paying the money after that

I use it for country music, 90's country, and 90's hip hop... You can download for offline play as well..

I don't, but I will when I get my Amazon Echo after Christmas.

Yes, you can download anything that's available in Prime to up to 4 devices for offline play. That's it's primary benefit it provides, but if you're already paying for Spotify I suspect you'll be disappointed in Prime Music.

I use it. It's pretty good about having what I want. when it doesn't it's available for purchase. As part of the prime package it's a cool add on that comes in hand sometimes. As a stand alone music offering it's pretty lame compared to spotify.
