"Dear Amazon Customer,

We're updating the price of your Amazon Music Unlimited – Family plan so we can continue to bring you new content and features. Your price will increase from $169.00 to $208.95, plus applicable taxes, per billing cycle"

Between this and no true exclusive mode, you have priced AM out of the market. Spotify and Tidal will be my go to. My AM trial ends in March and I was enjoying it, but it was up against Tidal and a few other services. Prices are CDN

I should add AM - unlimited without Audiobooks is $177 CDN. A much better proposition for me.

I have Amazon music unlimited family plan. I shared it with my wife mainly so she could get audiobooks from the included audible benefits. Audible and audiobooks don’t show up for her when she’s in the Amazon music app. Anyone have insights?

So I just got an offer to try the Unlimited Family Plan for the same price as the Individual Plan and thought I'd give it a go, but setting up my parents accounts I found out that they have access to my library, which is not huge and I don't have anything to hide but isn't it supposed that each account has to have its own library? How can I stop from sharing my library? Been looking everywhere and can't find anything.

We have the Music Unlimited Family Plan with 6 different profiles. I'm the main account holder and am finding it basically unusable because all of my recommended playlists (My Discover Mix, My Frequent Plays, My ________ Mix) are based on my son's heavy metal, not any genre that I would actually like to listen to.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm hoping I'm just missing something obvious otherwise this just seems stupid by design. Previously my wife used our Amazon Music Unlimited account that was included with our Prime. And I had my own Spotify Premium account so that we could both listen and not step on each other's toes. In an attempt to save a little money she convinced me to cancel my Spotify Premium and upgrade our AMU account to a family account.

I'd like to be able to use the multiple Echo devices we have from my AMU app on my phone and computer. but my device section is completely empty. I read somewhere that Echo devices can only be registered to one account at a time and in order for them to show up and I'm aware of the 180 days cooldown to reregister them so I don't plan on doing that. So on it's face only the user who has the Alexa devices registered to them can use them fully. though Spotify didn't seem to care and let us use them unrestricted.

I guess my question is, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume the purpose of paying more for a family account is that all the other users would be able to reap the same benefits, but this isn't the first time we've seen this it seems like a lot of Amazon's services are designed in a way to treat the linked accounts as 2nd class citizens, which really doesn't make sense because it's basically encouraging you to just sign up for single user for everything and just use the same account for everything which actually makes Amazon less money in the end.

Does someone have a solution to this? I can't imagine I'm the only person with a family account being frustrated by this.

I see from a search that this has been covered, but because I'm probably not the only one thinking about it, I thought I'd ask again to make certain: judging from the T&C, plus a couple of helpfiles, it looks like the Amazon Music Standard Family Plan is what had been Amazon Music Unlimited (Family) before they added the audiobook.

To be honest, I might be willing to consider sticking with Unlimited if any family member could get the audiobook, but the price difference is still a lot more than what those family members pay to checkout audiobooks from the public library: no cost or free. It would also not be worthwhile if it is limited to just me, (I'm fine with reading books, but I don't have the patience to listen to someone else read. They're too slow and dramatic.)

Hopefully, the Standard Family Plan is the same as what we have had for the past few years and I will not have to consider dropping back to an Indvidual plan and making the other family members listen through our Alexa devices or go back to the ad-supported Spotify subscriptions they were using before. Perhaps, even getting one for me.

Edit: Maybe nobody knows. I don't recall seeing the new "Standard" option previously and it appears to be describing what had been "Unlimited", so maybe it was introduced with the price increase and nobody has it. IDK

On November 8, Amazon music unlimited family plan will go up from $14.99 a month to $15.99 and the annual plan will go up from $149 to $159.

If you are in the middle of the trial period, first billed period will not change.

I have music unlimited family plan. My wife and I both have Amazon accounts. I set up the plan in my account and created playlists, but my wife wants her own playlist. They say you can invite a family member to share your account under the settings options so they can have their own playlist, but not seeing that in account settings. It just shows the subscription options.

Also, not sure how to connect Echo Dot to the family plan account so it will play any Unlimited song, not just Amazon Music songs.

I just received this email. I don't consistently pay for Music Unlimited, but I currently am. A big draw for me is the lower price compared to the other services (as well as the HQ audio and my long history with Amazon and Amazon Music). Even though it's only a buck a month, this will test my loyalty.

Edit/update: I cancelled my subscription, deleted the app, and removed it from Sonos. I'm already subsidizing this with Amazon Prime to the tune of $139/yr plus tax, which I'm not doing with any other service. This really needs to represent an exceptional value for me, and it just doesn't.

You'll get an offer for 3 months free Amazon Music Unlimited. Great, you take it. Then what pops up is a free upgrade to the family plan, so you grab it, too.

Only to find that doing so undoes your original free Amazon Music Unlimited offer, and you're getting charged.

So if you're offered the free Amazon Music Unlimited offer, DO NOT accept the 'free' family plan upgrade that follows.

With Amazon Musc Unlimited I can have up to six family members on it. What is the best way to setup these Echo Dots and the Amazon Music? I don't know if I am supposed to setup them all up individually with their own email accounts of if they are just all on my account.

Guidance needed please.

If I get Amazon Music Unlimited Family and use it with multiple Alexa devices (some in common areas and some in bedrooms), is AM able to keep all the people and favorites separate? I'm using Spotify family now and while you can have it on 6 devices, you can't use it on any 2 devices at the same time which is super frustrating so I'm looking for an alternative.

Months ago, if you had music streaming on another device, it would just tell you and ask if you wanted to stream from this device instead. Now you need to listen to a long message about upgrading to the friends and family plan EVERY TIME. After which you still get the old message. It's obnoxious. I talked to support and there's no way to disable it, and Amazon music isn't worth $16 a month. I have to hear that crap 10 times a day as I move around the house.

At least limit it to once a week. Heck, once a day would make it annoying but usable.

I'm not sure why this is so confusing, but here we are.

I have an Amazon Household. My wife and I are linked Account Holder and Linked Account, respectively. My kid has a child profile. I purchased Amazon Music Family. In the Amazon Music app, it says that "This Profile isn't available yet, sign in as <name> on our Amazon Kids device."

We have an ipad the kid uses, we want to have their amazon music profile there. Not sure what I'm missing to set it up. I tried to sign in as myself, but it wouldn't let me switch to that profile.

I have Amazon Music Unlimited, which I have enjoyed for well over a year now. I heard about the family plan where 6 members of my family can have their own section of the plan (meaning they can have their own playlists etc). My question is, if I upgrade to the family account, how will it effect the playlists I already own? I am worried that I would lose them all. Is there anyone who has upgraded this way that could confirm or deny this worry in my mind.

I'm not being melodramatic, but there are a few people we have lost over the past year, I have certain playlists of their songs, and other than sitting down of an evening (well a few evenings) and actually manually listing them to later add them to playlists, I am not sure how to retain them.

Much appreciated to anyone who can answer this swiftly

I just recently joined Amazon Music after trying to break up with Spotify for many years, and was trying to see if any others liked it. I'm not seeing any very recent posts with positive experiences.

I had tried just about every streaming service out there & always end up back to Spotify because the music, books, and podcasts all in one place and probably also because I had my account for so long it just felt like "home". Recently finally tried Amazon Music and don't know why I didn't earlier or just didn't really know about it and it's got everything I want and also the app works perfectly fine for me (I am on iOS and I notice most issues seem to be with android, yes?). Also is the clearest I have ever heard music streaming, which is saying a lot because I usually do not hear any differences.

My wife and I currently use the Prime music plan but we often wish we could use 2 devices at the same time. If I got an individual Unlimited plan, could one of us use the Unlimited music while the other still uses the basic Prime music?

Or is the only way to ever stream 2 devices is to get the family unlimited plan?

So I get an email from Amazon today about this but it's severely lacking in detail.

Does anyone know if these profiles are possible for children to use? I'm absolutely sick of their music ruining my library and simply want them to have their own profiles under my account. I assumed this may be doable now but it says nothing when setting up a profile what I'm actually doing. Will Alexa have access to these profiles? Can I migrate playlists from one account to another? Will I not bother using this as it's going to not do anything useful in reality? Where in time is Carmen Santiago?
