Amazon Australia has launched Prime Music bringing a catalogue of more than two million songs and hundreds of hand-curated playlists and stations, ad-free and on-demand with unlimited skips by today’s best-selling artists to Prime members. Prime Music is included in every new and existing Prime membership at no additional cost.

Prime Music has been customised for the Australian market and offers numerous hand-curated playlists and stations built specifically for the Australian music fan, including the Amazon Original ‘Made in Australia’ playlist, featuring newly-recorded covers of classic songs by local Australian artists, exclusively available on Amazon Music. With Prime Music, customers can also save playlists, albums and more for offline playback on mobile devices.

“It’s been incredible to see the feedback from customers since launching Amazon Music’s premium tier, Amazon Music Unlimited, for Australia earlier this year,” stated David Ray, Head of Music for Australia and New Zealand. “With today’s launch of Prime Music, we’re excited to deliver another listening experience with Amazon Music built specifically for our Prime members, and to introduce even more ways of discovering and rediscovering music with voice through Alexa at absolutely no additional cost to their Prime membership.”

Prime members have the ability to upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon Music’s premium streaming tier launched in Australia earlier this year, offering customers a catalogue of more than 50 million tracks for a monthly or annual subscription, separate to a Prime subscription.

To start listening to Prime Music today, download the Amazon Music app in Android and iOS app stores or visit the Amazon Prime website here. Eligible customers who are not already Prime members can begin streaming Prime Music with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, with Alexa in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android, on all Echo devices, as well as on Mac, PC and on the Fire TV Stick Basic Edition.
