Does Amazon Prime include Amazon Music?
Yes — Prime includes Amazon Music with 100 million songs ad-free, but mostly shuffle play; full on-demand and HD need Music Unlimited.
How it works
Every Amazon Prime membership includes Amazon Music at no extra cost: 100 million songs ad-free, plus a large catalog of ad-free top podcasts.
The catch is that the included Prime tier is mostly shuffle play with limited on-demand song selection and skips. Full on-demand access, offline downloads, and HD/Ultra HD audio require the paid Amazon Music Unlimited tier.
What it's worth
Amazon Music Unlimited costs $11.99/mo for Prime members (vs $12.99 for non-Prime). If you only listen casually, the version already included with Prime may be all you need — so you can drop the $11.99/mo Unlimited charge.
How to claim it
- 1Open the Amazon Music app and sign in with your Prime account — the included tier is already active.
- 2Before paying for Music Unlimited, check whether you actually need on-demand song selection and HD audio.
- 3If not, cancel Music Unlimited and use the version included with Prime.
Good to know: The Prime-included tier is shuffle-focused with limited skips and on-demand play. Heavy listeners who want to pick any song on demand will still want Music Unlimited.
