Amazon Introduces its Prime Music in India

Online retailer Amazon announced on Wednesday the launch of Amazon Prime Music, the ad-free streaming service exclusive to Prime members, in India. This is Amazon’s latest effort to increase the number of shoppers on its flagship e-commerce platform.

Amazon Prime members can enjoy the unlimited offline downloads of music at no additional cost from the service, which is available to play on Android and iOS mobile phone application, Desktop app and Web player, Amazon Fire TV sticks, and Amazon Echo devices.

The music streaming service also includes songs from foreign and Indian music labels in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, and more.

“With ad-free streaming at no additional cost to Prime members, Amazon Prime Music offers a welcome break from text and voice ads that come between you and your favorite music,” Director Amazon Music India, Sahas Malhotra, said.

“Moreover, with voice controls, the music listening experience cannot get any simpler,” he added.

Users just need to press the Alexa icon in the Amazon Prime Music application and request for their favorite songs, albums, and artists. They can also create their own playlists with family and friends.

“Prime members will enjoy this latest addition with benefits that already include unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video and unlimited free fast delivery on eligible items from India’s online selection of products, early access to top deals and more,” Senior Vice President and Country of Amazon India, Amit Agarwal, said.
