Amazon Music Unlimited review

Amazon Music Unlimited quietly matches the audiophile services on paper. Amazon's help pages list three quality tiers: SD up to 320 kbps, HD lossless at 16-bit/44.1 kHz up to 850 kbps, and Ultra HD Hi-Res lossless at 24-bit/192 kHz up to 3730 kbps. Both Dolby Atmos and Sony's 360 Reality Audio are supported on compatible devices, which no other service on this list offers together. A badge on the Now Playing screen shows the quality of the stream, the song and your device. The plan now includes one Audible audiobook a month on top of 100 million songs and ad-free podcasts. Price depends on Prime: $11.99 a month for members and $12.99 without, after a 30-day trial. A free ad-supported Amazon Music tier also exists. HD, Ultra HD and spatial audio are not on the cheaper Single Device Plan, and the audiobook perk is limited to one title a month.
