FREE One-Month Trial of Amazon Music Unlimited

Instead of buying albums or individual tracks, you're able to listen to a library of millions of songs whenever you want.

If you're considering trying one out, Amazon is offering a free month-long trial of their new streaming service: Amazon Music Unlimited.

Like its competitors, Amazon Music Unlimited lets you listen to as much ad-free music as you'd like, with the ability to download songs you like to your phone or tablet through an app.

Available in three tiers: Echo, individual, and family, Amazon's service gives you greater flexibility at a potentially better price than competing services.

An Echo plan will give you access to Amazon Music Unlimited through a single Echo product for $3.99 a month. If you're looking for the least expensive way stream music in your home, you won't find a better option.

The individual and family plans operate more traditionally: An individual plan will let you set up Amazon Music Unlimited on multiple pieces of hardware under a single Amazon account, while a family plan lets you add up to six different accounts, each with their own libraries.

You can stream songs, download them, make and share playlists, or listen to some of Amazon's pre-made options. With a library of "tens of millions" of songs, there's a good chance you'll have access to the music you like, with the ability to discover a lot of new music.

The individual and family plans are priced at $9.99 ($7.99 for prime members) and $14.99 a month, respectively, but Prime members also have the option to pay $79 or $149 a year, making them the least expensive music-streaming options by a fair margin.

If you've never tried a music-streaming service, or are looking to save some money, this 30-day free trial is worth taking advantage of. You can cancel at any point, and you'll know whether or not paying for music streaming makes sense for you.
