Amazon's prime music service offers consumers more than one million songs, hundreds of playlists, unlimited listening and ad-free usage.
According to a press release, the online retailer launched the new addition to its subscription service Thursday. Consumers can upload the Amazon music app to access the media. It is compatible with Apple's iOS operating system or Android.
Amazon's founder and CEO said the company wanted to give customers the most complete music experience possible.
"In designing Prime Music, we wanted to remove the barriers between you and the music you love," Jeff Bezos said. "We removed cost. You can listen to the entire Prime Music catalog for free - it's included in your Prime membership. We removed interruptions. Don't worry about having your music constantly disrupted by ads... you won't hear any. We removed listening restrictions."
People who are really into a song can also continue to play the track over and over.
"Choose exactly what song to listen to, repeat your favorite song over and over again, or download music to your phone or tablet to listen offline," Bezos said in the letter."
Prime Music joins the program's free two-day shipping discount on over 20 million products. These include several thousand movie and television titles. Users can stream these limitlessly. The flicks and shows are available through Prime's instant video component.
Readers can also borrow books from the Kindle Owner's Lending Library. People can choose from 500,000 titles according to the press release.
Amazon previously dispelled rumors that Prime is not making a streaming service according to The Wall Street Journal.
"We're often experimenting with new things, but we have no plans to offer a free streaming-media service," Amazon spokeswoman Sally Fouts told The Journal.
The company will instead focus on creating other components.
"We continue to build selection for Prime Instant Video and create original shows at Amazon Studios, but we are not planning to license television channels or offer a pay-TV service," Drew Herdener, Amazon's vice president for the company's public relations division told Variety on March 27.
