Luckily, you can buy digital music from the store in the Amazon Music app. That means you'll need to purchase their tracks or albums to listen the their music - you can't stream them for free. However, Prime Music is missing music from Universal Music Group, which represents Kanye West, U2, Lady Gaga, OneRepublic, Bon Jovi, Madonna, and Katy Perry - all artists that Spotify and Rdio have. From those two labels, you can listen to music from Paramore, Beyonce, Aerosmith, Daft Punk, Prince, One Direction, The Black Keys, Jimi Hendrix, and more for free. Prime Music has a library of more than one million songs, all commercial-free, from Warner Music Group and Sony Music, two of the top three record labels. You can filter the results by Prime music only, which is helpful when you only want to find music you don't have to buy. You can search for any artist, song, or playlist in the entire Amazon music catalog, including both free and paid music. Since browsing the Prime section isn't that intuitive, I recommend you use search in the top-right corner.

Tap any album to view the full song list and add it to your Library. You can then tap over to the list of albums and scroll through a grid of album covers. The Prime section is a bit of a mess - by default, it opens to a list of popular songs, which is a mix of brand new titles and older stuff that just happens to be getting a lot of listens right now. There's a dedicated section for playlists (which I'll touch on later) and a section to navigate all of available Prime music, grouped by songs and albums. You can browse free music included with your Prime subscription in the Prime section. With Prime Music, you can stream one million songs for free.

The two sections you'll likely use the most are Prime and Library, since those are where you search for free music and then listen to it. From top to bottom, that menu bar is divided into four sections: Prime, Library, Store, and More. There's a left-side menu bar that you'll rely on to jump to different parts of the app.
#Amazon music review android
The Android app, which is the focus of my review, has a plain, dark design, but I wouldn't call it simple. The Amazon Music apps have been around for a few years, but they were updated in June 2014 to add Prime Music. If are already a Prime subscriber, simple sign into your account when you first open the app. You can use Amazon Music without a Prime membership, but you won't have access to any of the free music in the app. Even though I'm a Prime customer myself, I'll still pay around $10 every month for another streaming service that gives me all the music I want and a better overall experience. It's also missing a radio feature (which both Spotify and Rdio have) in which the app creates a station of music based on a song or artist, and picks songs for you.
Unfortunately, as you'll see in this review, Amazon Music's lackluster app and limited music selection just don't hold up to Spotify, Beats Music, or Rdio.
