Amazon competing with Spotify, YouTube and Apple by offering three months of unlimited music for free

Music fans who favour streaming services can claim three months of unlimited music completely free of charge as of today, with Amazon offering savings in the region of £30.

With an ongoing cost of living crisis hitting the UK hard, many will have no doubt cancelled luxury subscriptions - instead settling for public radio to save money as of recent. But the Spotify and Apple music rival has announced a brand-new deal allowing punters to 'pump up the jam' once again.

With over 90 million songs available via lossless audio, those signing up to Amazon music can make the most of a vast library for three months without spending a penny.

And The Express reports that this isn't the only deal that the tech giant have launched as of recent, with bargain deals on 4th generation Echo Dots also running simultaneously. The limited time offer will allow customers to bag the smart speaker for just £9.99 when signing up for one month's access to Music Unlimited - instead of the usual RRP of around £50.

With the Echo Dot deal and three months free Amazon Music Unlimited - you must be a new subscriber to the online streaming service. That means current customers unfortunately can't take part.

Additionally, if you're shooting for the Echo Dot bundle, you must also be a first-time Amazon Echo user - without a history of prior smart speaker devices. Both offers run until September 20, so there's plenty of time to consider and make the most of the bargains to be had.

Music Unlimited is one of the world's prime choices when it comes to audio streaming, offering one major advantage over the market-leading Spotify, in the form of 95 million songs in lossless audio. This allows for CD-quality streaming.

Although with that being said, Spotify is also launching its own lossless audio service in 2022 called Spotify Hi Fi, but as of yet, no concrete release date has been announced. Amazon Music Unlimited also offers access to podcasts, curated playlists and on-demand advertisement-free music.

The 4th gen Echo Dot also supports lossless playback, making it a fantastic pairing for the subscription.

Amazon Music Unlimited is £8.99 per month after the three month free period expires.
