On top of that, Amazon Music Unlimited also includes support for Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio, which works like a surround sound system for your favourite tracks. If you're currently listening on Spotify with the audio settings set to Normal or Low, you can expect a meagre 96- and 24kbps, respectively. As such, it's hardly surprising that the files are much bigger – and that the sound quality is so dramatically improved. That's more than four times the amount of data stored for the same 3-minute track. The same song burned onto a CD will have a bit rate of 1,411kbps. The quality is much closer to what you'd expect from a CD.įor comparison, Spotify Premium subscribers can expect tracks to have a bitrate (this is the amount of data transferred per second and has a direct impact on sound quality) of roughly 320kbps (when set to the Very High quality setting within the app). Music Unlimited's High Definition streaming tier boasts double the bitrate of standard definition streaming services. Unlike Spotify, Amazon bundles higher quality music streaming as standard with its subscription. Subscribers can rely on hands-free voice assistant Alexa to request individual tracks, albums, playlists, podcasts, and even quote lines from their favourite tracks to find the correct song.

It packs over 75 million songs, which can be streamed from a smartphone, tablet, Mac or PC, Fire TV, Sonos, and of course, Amazon Echo smart speakers. Amazon Music is a streaming service that rivals Spotify, TiDAL and Apple Music.
