Hi Carol.
You can download the Amazon songs and import them into iTunes. The quality
is pretty good as it is variable bit rate MP3 but it is arguably not quite
as good quality as apple music given that MP3 is a very old codec and AAC
has been improved much over recent years.
Prime membership is around £79 and you can add up to 5 family members for
free. Each family member will get free access to prime music. Please check
on these details though as I'm going on what I can remember from last year
when we took it out.
The Amazon music app and web page for windows do have their shortcomings
though. The download in windows is quite a clunky affair now with files
being downloaded in zip files. Manageable from what I can recall, but
clunky.
I'm not sure how accessible the app is for the prime music features.
Regards.
Kevin

Subject: [Bulk] [access-uk] A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT AMAZON MUSIC
Hi all,
Though I'm primarily an IOS user, some of our CD's were purchased from
Amazon, so we received notification (the first I knew about it) just
recently that all our purchases were available for us in digital format.
I took the plunge, downloaded the player and had forgotten exactly what
we'd purchased from Amazon. I must say I like the simple player ...
Now for the questions:
First, I see you can have free music (I think up to 100000 titles, if
you're on Prime Music. I saw an item about having to be the prime
account holder and that other members of the family can't make use of
this facility. Any comments and clarification on this would be most
welcome, please? Added to this, anyone know (off the top of their heads)
how much Prime would cost and do I need a separate Prime Account then a
music one?
My other questions are about the downloads themselves. If I download
them, can I import to iTunes if I wish? The quality seems good but I'd
be interested (if anyone knows) to have a comparison of the quality of
Amazon music alongside the Apple offerings.
Finally, I think, I came across an app which is supposed to offer free
music. Has anyone tried this and got anything good as a result?
Sorry about all the questions. Just fired up a little! ... <Smiles>
