There’s nothing like vibing to good music. And it’s even better when you get to listen for free.
Amazon offers three months of its Music Unlimited service for free to new subscribers. Enjoy over 100 million songs ad-free. On top of that, stream your favorite songs and podcasts with exceptional sound quality, thanks to HD and Spatial Audio.
Just remember to cancel at the end of the three months if you don’t want to keep listening, or the subscription will automatically renew, and you’ll end up paying the $12.99 a month charge. Prime members pay $11.99 monthly.
Amazon Music Unlimited now includes Audible
A newer feature of Amazon Music Unlimited is access to Audible. I use Audible and can tell you its library of ebooks is diverse, the sound quality of the recordings is crystal clear and it’s easy to use.
Audible has something for every literary taste, from best sellers to new releases to classics. A subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited grants you a credit each month to Audible. With each book being a single credit, try a new book every month you have the service.
Along with audiobooks, use Amazon Music Unlimited to listen to your favorite podcasts. Or, if you’re looking for new options, Amazon has the largest catalog of ad-free podcasts.

As you can see, Amazon compares favorably in price because of the inclusion of Audible. If you're looking for music only, there are less expensive services that offer the same number of songs.
However, having access to Audible saves you $15 per month alone. Not to mention, if you're a Prime member, you can save another $1, making Amazon Music Unlimited an incredible value.
Two services for one low price
New members receive Amazon Music Unlimited free for 90 days. While it isn't the least expensive music streaming service available, access to over 100 million songs and Audible make it among the best values in music streaming.
