Amazon Music vs Spotify, which is the best?
We have a whole guide on Spotify if you want to see all that the service has to offer, but what really differentiates Spotify from other streaming services like Amazon Music are its social features. Well, that and the lack of high-resolution streaming.
You can read our Amazon Music vs Spotify breakdown, but if you want to know pricing, Amazon Music costs Unlimited costs $7.99/month for prime members or $9.99/month for non-Prime members. Spotify costs $9.99/month, but it also has its Duo tier, which lets you share the account with one other person for $12.99/month. Both services have a student tier for $4.99/month.
Factsheet
I've been a Prime member for 10+ years, but never used the music service. Last week I downloaded the app on my phoe and started listening. I have used Pandora, but I thought I'd try this and I thought it was included in Prime. The next day I got an email stating: "Your subscription costs $0.00 for the first 3 months and then $9.99 per month after,"
I thought it was included? Is there a "lite" version I am thinking of, or one with commercials or something?
Per title. I found this old thread on the topic which didn't answer my question.

So I booted up AM on a whim, normally I only use it as an intermediary for digital purchases through Amazon. I saw a band I like has a new album out, so I hit shuffle on that Album. AM has that stupid "forced diverse sourcing" kind of algorithm that inserts music from *not this album* into tracks from this album as a kind of radio playlist, which is *not* what I wanted, but luckily, the tracks it was inserting were *really, really good*.
Amazing, actually. Every one that came up, I hit "add to My Music" on it or its whole album. It showed a tick next to the album, and every track in that album. Added to "My Music", great.
Where the fuck actually is "My Music"? These albums/tracks are not appearing under Artists/Albums/Songs/Playlists or any other tab of my "Library". I can see the last 9 tracks I listened to in order in the "build an All-Access Playlist", but where are the rest of them going? Luckily I remember the artist names (the Artists are appearing under Artists, a couple of the Albums are appearing under Albums, but none anywhere else) but this is a terrible, terribly communicated feature because I've not bought those albums or AM Unlimited I guess, that I don't actually get to have these saved anywhere.
