It's very similar to the free versions of Pandora and Spotify.
BTW, Prime Music (2+ million songs) is included in your Prime membership. Amazon Music Unlimited (50+ million songs) is the paid service.
Bottom line: this free service is a restricted version of Prime Music.

Okay, I misunderstood and thought it was based on the Unlimited service with 50+ million songs but with ads and only pre-designed playlists. Prime Music is fairly lame and often doesn’t have the songs I request. Unlimited is pretty good, but not worth the amount they want considering how little I would get to use it. It was worth $3.99/mo but they won’t let you restrict it to one device at a time; they make you restrict it to one specific device period. It can never be used on your others devices, just that one. I think it costs $7.99/mo for all devices at any time. I live alone and only need one device at any time, but I would want to choose from any of my devices so I don’t have to go into a specific room to listen, or move that single device around. Too inconvenient. An extra $4 isn’t worth that upgrade. Especially since they still push a lot of lame live recordings on us...
