I was looking for a replacement; and PM isn't it.

At least I can download a small selection of music for free.

From what I read you can download the music as well so you can listen to it when not connected to the cloud. That is really sweet

Yup

Right now, I'm stuffing my cloud full of Christmas music. Then I'll add some Classical and Big Band music. Wish there was a larger selection; but what the heck, it's free.

Yes, on the mobile apps only, which seems more than fair. Sometime later today I'll install the new app on my phone and try it out.

Interesting that they made an Android app for this but not Instant video.

ProfCrash · 06-12-2014, 12:37 PM

The selection looks pretty good. There is plenty to make me happy

Are you using the app on a device or the Fire? There is no Prime Music option on my 8.9 HDX and the Kindle CS folks are clueless as to why.

tubemonkey · 06-12-2014, 01:38 PM

Amazon MP3 is no more. It's been renamed Amazon Music and the app is now orange.

Amazon Music

Amazon MP3

Nexus 4 and Nexus 7.2

The announcement said it would be rolled out to the Fires in OTA updates. When that happens is anyone's guess. I updated my Android apps to get it on my two Nexus devices.

Prime members in the U.S. can start listening to Prime Music today at www.primemusic.com. Kindle Fire HD/HDX devices will get Prime Music in an automatic, over-the-air update. Customers can also download the latest Amazon Music app in the Android and iOS app stores.

Cool. Thanks. Did get an OTA update but without Prime Music access. It seems there may be some wrinkles to work out.

YW - I bet their servers are getting bombed. I've been adding all sorts of stuff to the cloud and quite a bit of it still hasn't shown up on my devices. Just have to give it time.

I just added some music to the cloud and can't wait to get int on my Fire. I also have it on my Roku device. This is sweet!!!

I know - they want you to buy a Fire to watch the videos

Fire TV still doesn't have Amazon Music. So no Prime Music love for them just yet.

Great timing. My new iHome AirPlay speaker came in yesterday. None of the albums I bought this afternoon were available to stream though, even the ones from 2000.

I probably won't use it that often, but it's another app to put in my Music folder.
