Is Amazon Music Included with Prime?

The claim in question is whether Amazon Music is included with an Amazon Prime membership. This inquiry arises from the growing popularity of streaming services and the various subscription models offered by companies like Amazon. Understanding the specifics of what is included in an Amazon Prime membership can help potential subscribers make informed decisions.

What We Know

  1. Amazon Music for Prime Members: Amazon Music is indeed included as part of an Amazon Prime membership. According to Amazon's official site, Prime members have access to over 100 million songs ad-free, along with a large selection of podcasts and playlists at no additional cost to their membership fee 12410.

  2. Differences Between Services: There are two main tiers of Amazon Music: Amazon Music Prime and Amazon Music Unlimited. While Amazon Music Prime is included with Prime membership, Amazon Music Unlimited is a separate subscription service that offers additional features, such as offline listening and a larger catalog of songs. The Unlimited service costs $14.99 per month for non-Prime members, and $8.99 per month for Prime members 68.

  3. Recent Updates: As of October 2023, Amazon has expanded its music offerings for Prime members to include a full catalog of music and new features aimed at podcast lovers. This expansion reportedly allows Prime members to access 100 million songs in shuffle mode, which is a significant increase from previous offerings 210.

  4. User Experiences: Some users have reported confusion regarding the differences between Amazon Music Prime and Amazon Music Unlimited. There are anecdotal accounts of individuals mistakenly paying for the Unlimited service while being Prime members, indicating a potential lack of clarity in Amazon's communication about these services 9.

Analysis

The sources used to verify the claim about Amazon Music's inclusion with Prime membership are a mix of official Amazon communications and third-party evaluations.

  • Official Sources: The most reliable sources for this information are Amazon's own websites, which provide clear and direct information about the services included with Prime membership 1210. However, it is important to note that as the source of the information, Amazon may have a vested interest in promoting its services, which could introduce bias.

  • Third-Party Evaluations: Articles from technology review sites like Tom's Guide provide additional context and comparisons between the different Amazon Music services 6. These sources can be valuable for understanding the broader market context and user experiences, but they may also carry their own biases based on the authors' perspectives or the site's target audience.

  • User Forums: User-generated content, such as discussions on forums, can provide insight into real-world experiences with Amazon Music and Prime 9. However, these sources are less reliable due to the potential for anecdotal evidence and lack of verification.

  • Confusion Among Users: The confusion reported by users about the differences between Amazon Music Prime and Amazon Music Unlimited suggests that Amazon may need to improve its communication regarding what is included in the Prime membership. This confusion could lead to unintentional additional charges for users who are unaware of the distinctions between the services 9.

Conclusion

Verdict: True

The claim that Amazon Music is included with an Amazon Prime membership is accurate. Evidence from Amazon's official communications confirms that Prime members have access to over 100 million songs, podcasts, and playlists at no additional cost. However, it is essential to recognize that there are two distinct tiers of Amazon Music: Amazon Music Prime, which is included with Prime membership, and Amazon Music Unlimited, which requires a separate subscription for additional features.

While the information provided by Amazon is generally reliable, it is important to consider the potential for bias, as Amazon has a vested interest in promoting its services. Additionally, user experiences indicate that there may be confusion regarding the differences between the two services, which could lead to unintended charges for some subscribers.

Readers are encouraged to critically evaluate information and verify details from multiple sources to ensure a comprehensive understanding of their subscriptions and services.

Fact Check: There is no question Mark Carney is a brilliant business man and has a very impressive resume. But does he give a shit about you, and for that matter other Canadians? I didn't know anything about Mark Carney a couple of weeks ago and yesterday, I decided to do a little research project. This is what I discovered with about 1 hour of research. Lets take a bit of a dive in… Mark Carney is the UN special envoy on climate change pushing governments around the world to adopt “clean energy”. A great position, no? Interestingly, right up until he entered the Liberal leadership race, he also conveniently sat on the board of Brookfield Asset Management at the same time as he sat in this position with the UN. Brookfield owns $1 trillion in assets under management and many of their portfolios are across renewable power & infrastructure. Hmm, sounds a little conflicty? He has directly profited off of the shutting down and blocking of fossil fuel projects in Canada which he advised Canada to do (and other nations) while making sure so called “green energy” options are pushed and approved, which line his own pockets with green. One of Mark's acts as Chair of the board was to move the head office of Brookfield from Toronto to New York, because of the impending tariff war. Sounds like he has a lot of faith in his ability to put Canada first...and then he lied about the whole situation claiming that he was not chair when Brookfield moved. Maybe true, but he approved the move and voted for it at the first hint of tariffs from Trump, while he was still chair… Let’s look further at Mark’s role with Brookfield though. While he was doing all this “good work”, or rather making western governments do all this good work while he profits off of them, he was also directing Brookfield to act completely contrary environmentally when it suits the firm and their shareholders. While Brookfield manages green companies, they also acquire and invest in “dirty” fossil fuel projects and “carbon releasing” in other parts of the world. “One of Brookfield's collection of assets was 267,000 hectares in Brazil. producing soybeans, sugar, corn and cattle. between 2012 and 2021 Brookfield's subsidiaries deforested around 9,000 hectares on eight large farms in the Cerrado region of Brazil, a vast area bordering the Amazon rainforest. The report estimates that 600,000 tonnes of CO2 was emitted by deforesting these areas, the equivalent of 1.2 million flights from London to New York. A spokesperson for Brookfield said: "Brookfield made limited investments in Brazil's agriculture sector during the last decade. The decision to sell these businesses was taken several years ago because the fund they were held in was reaching the end of its life, and we therefore had an obligation to return capital to investors." Global Witness claims that this decision to sell clashes with public statements subsequently made by Mr. Carney as a global leader on climate policy, which call upon companies not to sell off climate-damaging assets, but to hold onto them and either clean them up or close them down”. - Ben King, BBC 15, Dec, 2022 They cut 9000 hectares of prime forest on the border of the Amazon to expand their GMO farming operations. Wow! How about the $16 billion acquisition of Inter Pipeline by Brookfield”? An oil pipeline, yes. Just two of the many "CO2 emitting" actions that Mark Carney has directed Brookfield on as Chair to the Board while he pushes green energy where it benefits his own books… A 2023 report on Brookfield by “Private Equity Climate Risks” paint a pretty bleak picture. "The combined current fossil fuel investments of Brookfield and Oaktree emit an estimated 159 million metric tons (mt) of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) annually. This is an order of magnitude more than the 11.8 million mt CO2e disclosed in Brookfield’s sustainability reports". So… will Carney be good for Canada? Well all of the above makes me think he is a wolf in sheep's clothing and let’s keep in mind he has been a close financial advisor to Trudeau since 2020. All of the great results of Trudeau’s tenure are the direct result of Carney. Doubling of house prices Record inflation Doubling of Canadians in the line of the food bank Our now crippling national debt and $60 billion deficit One of the biggest red flags for me is that Mark refuses to disclose his own personal financial situation. A guy who just a couple of months ago sat on 20 different corporate boards, including many American companies, promises he has a lot to gain by becoming PM. He is an ultra elite globalist who is 100% a part of the decisions that have led to Canada’s downfall and left us so vulnerable and if he remains as PM for any length of time, I feel Canada may end up bankrupt. The media will tell you that Mark is the guy to take on Trump, but the truth is not hard to uncover if you just do a little digging. Centrum
