Amazon Music Unlimited is (second to last) the latest streaming service will become more expensive. And this year we already have a few. And the past. The Anglo-Saxon media is already talking about it “streamflation”, a phenomenon that defines the increase in the cost of access to this type of subscription.

Amazon Music Unlimited is the e-commerce giant’s most comprehensive on-demand music streaming service. (It also offers the more limited Amazon Music.) known as “Amazon Spotify” offers unlimited access 100 million songs and other content. A premium service that provides ‘lossless’ CD-quality audio by default, up to 24-bit and 192kHz higher quality at others, plus thousands of tracks in Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio expertly mixed for greater resolution and depth than stereo sound.

Like other similar services, it allows you to listen to any song anywhere on different devices, be it smartphone, tablet or PC. Amazon Music Unlimited is ad-free, offers recommendations based on the type of music you listen to, and lets you download songs for when you’re offline and can’t access streaming.

Amazon Music Unlimited is getting more expensive

The company offers the service independently of its other services, and this version has already become more expensive at the beginning of the year. Amazon also offers it for Prime customers who want access to the premium music service and that’s the plan that’s making it more expensive now. Individual plans will change from $8.99 to $9.99 per month, and annual plans will increase from $89 to $99. Additionally, Amazon Music Unlimited family plans, which allow users to share up to six accounts at once, will increase from $15.99 to $16.99 per month. Annual plans will also increase from $159 to $169.

New subscribers will have to pay the increase immediately, while existing Prime subscribers will see the increase from September 19. It’s not that the additional cost is too much, and certainly this Amazon Music Unlimited offers huge and quality content, but the problem is that streaming costs are skyrocketing and it’s all piling up.

Spotify raised prices last month, as did YouTube Premium. But it’s not just music. Video streaming services are also on the rise current inflation corresponds to reality. With out-of-control mortgage or food inflation, consumers can no longer afford more and entertainment services will suffer.

As for Amazon Music Unlimited, if you’re interested, it will definitely be promoted (cheaper or with free months) on Prime Day in October.
