The largest internet-based retailer in the world, Amazon, is gearing up to launch their own music streaming service to compete with Spotify and Apple, amongst others.

From a consumer standpoint, this shyt is getting ridiculous. We don't need anymore streaming services

I agree only if the Amazon service can't provide anything different than the others.

its not. $10 a month. $5 a month if you only listen through Amazon Echo.

T'would be great if there were a discount for Prime Members. Maybe price it at $5/month.

Amazon music free with prime right now for me, they just got a small ass library compared to Apple Music, Spotify or Tidal

Ewww, if that's the case then there would be no incentive for me to shift from Apple Music. I listen quite a bit in the office with headphone and the car via USB/Bluetooth...so Echo-only in order to get the discount? Nope, no thanks.

Isnt that the same cost as Apple and Spotify? $10 a month? $5 with Echo only.

from a consumer standpoint competition is always in the consumer's interest.
The more competitors the more the drive will be at lower pricing and more functionality.
That is a great thing.

How do you get your music?

i financially support certain artist that have not disappointed me over the years (a few artist get added to that list every few years) and the rest i get from the net.

haven't joined a streaming service yet - don't see the point yet!!
i'll admit that my knowledge of streaming services is limited, but what turned me off was the fact that i was told that once i leave a certain streaming service,
i cannot take my music collection with me (this might be wrong info though).
cannot get down with not owning my music.
i'll wait and see how this streaming war plays out and maybe join a service in 2018.
i know i sound, but it is what it is
