I have a JBL Flip that I use with my phone for music at home. Great sound and it connects either over bluetooth or with an audio cable.

Prime Music

New! Introducing Ad-free Prime Stations

Prime Music now includes ad-free, personalized stations with unlimited skips.
And the best part is... it's FREE for Prime members.

Listen to Prime Stations
Has anyone else seen this and how long has this been available? A Google search yields no information. Also, this feature isn't available on any of my mobile devices.

This is the Pandora feature I've been waiting for. My preference is to pick a genre and then let the algorithms pick the selections. Right now, I'm listening to '60s Rock and loving it. Still a lot of groups missing. But then, if Prime Music ever caught up with the selections that Pandora offers, Amazon would spin it off as a separate paid service.

Prime Music --> getting better

About Prime Stations

Prime Stations are genre-based streaming music stations you can use to discover songs from the Prime Music catalog.

Eligible Prime members can listen to Prime Stations as part of the Prime Music service.

Tip: For more information about Prime Music eligibility go to, Am I Eligible for Prime Music?

You can listen to Prime Stations from on the Amazon website. Just open the Prime Music tab and select Prime Stations. Pick a genre and select a station to start continuously streaming Prime songs from that category

If you like the currently playing song, you can use the Thumbs Up icon in the playback controls to tell the station to play more songs like it. Use the Thumbs Down icon to skip the currently playing song and remove it from the station's rotation.

You can also use the + Add button in the playback controls to add the currently playing song to your music library.

Thanks; but I beat you

I found it yesterday and linked it in my thread - Prime Music Device Limits

Amazon just quietly slips in upgrades to various services and never says much about it. Anyway, I wish Prime Stations was available on mobile devices and hope they allow it soon.

Has anyone been able to listen to Prime Stations on an Android device? I can't get it to work on my Samsung S3. I've tried two different browsers and it won't run in either one.

I tried doing the browser bit and it failed on me too. Prime Stations is strictly non-mobile.

Yes, but so was instant video and I could always watch them in the browser on my Nexus 7 by setting the user agent to desktop.

I suspect the tighter music controls have to do with the rights holders.

Amazon just added another perk for Prime members -- unlimited photo storage from any source.

This will be nice. I think I pay Flickr $25 for unlimited every year. Gonna cancel that promptly.

... and done! That $24.95 can go towards my Prime subscription.

Also, there is no limit on photo size. You can store them in RAW if you want.
