Amazon is now offering a selection of free ad-supported streaming music to Alexa customers in the United States.

Beginning today, customers in the U.S. who do not yet have a Prime membership or a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited will now be able to listen to an ad-supported selection of top playlists and stations for free with Amazon Music on compatible Alexa-enabled devices.

Customers can play a station based on a song, artist, era, and genre, and hear some of Amazon Music's top global playlists including Country Heat, Fuego Latino, and more.

For example, you can say:
● "Alexa, play the playlist Pop Culture" to hear the ultimate global playlist for today's pop music.
● "Alexa, play the Imagine Dragons station" to hear a station inspired by the popular rock band.
● "Alexa, play 80s music" to hear a station filled with music from the era.
● "Alexa, play country music" to hear a station with some of the best in the genre.

If you don't want to hear ads you can subscribe to Amazon Prime for $119/year or $12.99/month which gives you over 2 million songs and thousands of stations. If you want even more music, you can subscribe to Amazon Music Unlimited for $9.99/month which offers access to over 50 million songs.
