How does Amazon Music compare to other streaming services?

The hi-fi service can be streamed to multiple devices and features major artists like The Beatles, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Eagles and Elton John. But for $8.99 per month for Prime members, and $9.99 per month for non-members (following the free trial), you can get Amazon Music Unlimited, which is Amazon’s ad-free, on-demand music subscription service featuring 60 million songs, more than 70,000 podcasts (like NPR’s Up First, Stuff You Should Know, Criminal, Ted Talks Daily) and thousands of playlists and stations. Prime members get Prime Music for free, which includes two million songs. This past month, I tried out Amazon Music Unlimited, which is now offering a 3-month free trial here (cancel anytime) for new subscribers.

I’m already a loyal SiriusXM subscriber (I love having multiple live news networks), and over the years I’ve dabbled with different music streaming services like Pandora, Spotify and Apple Music. Whether I’m in the car with my kids listening to the latest Kidz Bop album, Broadway show tunes or the Descendants soundtrack on repeat - or by myself binging true crime podcasts, NPR news and top-40 pop hits - I nearly always have some kind of music or podcast streaming.
