And that's probably enough for a lot of people. That's a lot of audio content for basically nothing. You can still stream free content from local radio stations, NPR, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and podcasts from your Echo at no additional charge. Heck, even if you like to listen to music but primarily do so on traditional radio, Prime Music may be for you. If you mainly use your Echo devices not as music players but as a way to control your smart home, find out the temperature, or have random questions answered, Prime Music may be for you. If you're someone who doesn't listen to a ton of music or obsess over specific songs or obscure bands, Prime Music may be for you. Even so, it's still an excellent option to have. Of course, this is more than just a gesture of goodwill, and Amazon hopes that those people will at a minimum sign up for Prime, and beyond that enroll in one of its other subscription services. Over the past year or so, Amazon has moved to further lower the barrier to entry for its music services, making Prime Music available for free with ads to anyone, across any device. This service is free for existing Prime members, and offers somewhere around two million songs, along with thousands of playlists and radio stations, all ad-free. In that time it has served first as a nice side benefit to a Prime membership, and then as an excellent gateway into Amazon's growing garden of paid media services to include Amazon Music Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible to name a few. Prime Music has been around for nearly six years. Source: Jeramy Johnson / Android Central (Image credit: Source: Jeramy Johnson / Android Central)
