With Amazon Music Unlimited, customers can stream music in HD and Ultra HD sound as well as spatial audio on multiple devices, including their existing headphones, with no special equipment required and at no extra cost to their subscription. With Amazon Music Unlimited, customers can stream more than 90 million lossless HD songs, with a bit depth of 16 bits and a sample rate of at least 44.1 kHz (CD quality). Customers can also stream more than 7 million songs in Ultra HD (better than CD quality), with a bit depth of 24 bits and a sample rate up to 192 kHz, which reveals even more nuances that were once lost in files compressed for digital streaming.

All customers, no matter the streaming tier, will have access to millions of podcast episodes at no additional cost. Since Amazon Music launched podcasts in 2020, it has become a premier destination for podcast listeners and creators. Popular Spanish-language shows such as La Estrategia del día Argentina, Anfibia Originales, Psicología al desnudo, La Selecta, Serie Canelones, TIPO de Jacinta Oromí, Se Regalan Dudas and La Voz de la Cultura, are now available in Argentina, along with millions of additional episodes, with more being added all the time. Podcasts from leading media partners COPESA, RDF Media, Radio Cooperativa, National Geographic, Sonoro, and TED in Argentina will be available globally on Amazon Music, including in Argentina and anywhere the service is currently available. Original shows produced exclusively for Amazon Music in Spanish in Argentina will be launching in the coming months.

Customers can listen to new singles and albums, playlists, and stations in many ways, including on the go with the Amazon Music app, available for offline playback on mobile devices, anytime and anywhere, without an internet connection. All Amazon Music customers also have the ability to ask for music on any Alexa-enabled device, including in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android, including by mood, era, genre, and title. To access Alexa within the Amazon Music app, simply use the push-to-talk function within the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android on connected mobile devices and tablets. With Alexa in the Amazon Music app, listeners can utilize the power and simplicity of voice functionality, wherever they are. Listeners will find brand-new music by regional and trending artists from around the world on the “Home” tab, as well as personalized recommendations based on their listening.

In addition, through the partnership between Amazon Music and Twitch, the livestreaming functionality from Twitch is integrated into the Amazon Music app, enabling fans to engage with artists in brand-new ways and move seamlessly between livestreams and recorded music. Artists are able to connect live with Amazon Music customers, providing music fans with the best live in-app experience possible.

Fans will have a variety of ways to discover artist livestreams within the Amazon Music app, including a push notification from artists they follow when they go live on Twitch, and through the new “Live” browse page. Amazon Music has also made it simple for artists to link their Twitch channel with Amazon Music, using the Amazon Music for Artists app. Artists can visit artists.amazonmusic.com/live for more information about the feature, step-by-step visuals outlining how to connect their Twitch channel, and more.
