With that, Amazon is the company offering a cheaper HiFi plan in the music streaming war. It’s also available through 2nd-gen Echo devices and later.A few moments before Apple announced its HiFi plan, Amazon announced that its higher-quality music plan, Amazon Music HD, is now available to Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers at no extra cost.Īs first reported by Billboard, Amazon Music HD, which previously cost $14.99 a month and $12.99 for Prime Members, is now available to everyone with Amazon Music Unlimited, which costs $9.99 month and $7.99 for Prime members. I’m not sure if it has come to other Fire TV models since then. Amazon Music HD was originally only supported on the 2nd-gen Fire TV Cube but it became available on the Fire TV Stick 4K and the 3rd-gen Fire TV Stick late last year.
To upgrade to the higher-quality audio streams, you must visit Amazon’s music subscription page and click the “Upgrade Now” button at the top. I’ve seen reports that the $0.99/month Prime Studen plan and the $3.99/month Echo-only plan might not be eligible for the upgrade, but I’m unable to confirm it. Individual plans of Amazon Music Unlimited, both at the Prime member rate of $7.99/month and the regular rate of $9.99/month, qualify for the free upgrade, as does the $14.99/month family plan. Within minutes of Apple’s announcement, Amazon announced that they’ll be doing the same starting immediately. Earlier today, Apple announced that they will begin offering Apple Music subscribers higher music quality at no additional charge starting next month. However, receiving the better audio quality isn’t automatic, so you do need to manually upgrade to it.Ĭompetition is a great thing. The premium music service used to cost an extra $5 a month over Amazon’s standard music subscription prices but now it’s included at no additional charge.
Amazon has announced that their higher-quality streaming music service, Amazon Music HD, is now available for free for all standard Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers.
