Bit **** from Amazon, if i'm honest, considering already seen price hikes in Prime Memberships a while back.
Amazon recently updated their service to include more songs BUT they also changed the way you could listen to songs, with no skip, just shuffle, which only has six skips every hour, which means that you'll have to sit through songs that you don't like and not all songs we related.
Many hotukdeals members we quick to respond to the update, with many annoyed on what Amazon had done, now we know why. Previously, customers only needed basic Amazon Music which is included in Prime membership, costing £8.99 a month. However, they will now need to fork out another £8.99 for Amazon Music Unlimited if they wish to choose their song.
Amazon Prime customers will now have to pay more money to request a specific song from Alexa. If they choose not to, customers will instead be treated to 'similar' songs.

sorted byAmazon Music with Prime was my plan for when my YouTube Premium Student membership expired, just a shame that's more limited now. To be fair I don't find Apple Music that bad, even though I'm definitely no Apple fan
Side note - I pay for Apple Music with my Google Play balance. I did with YouTube Premium as well. If you get enough credit from Google Opinion Rewards like I do it really helps pay for your subscriptions! (edited)
Now it plays suggestions based on his playlist he's struggling to sleep.
Looks like I may need to look into Spotify premium instead.
Very underhanded of Amazon
Did you never ask your Alexa to play a song?
The original hot deal should have been moved to discussions, people obviously thought it was a good deal until more details came out and it was seen in action.
Alexa, how did Amazon’s voice assistant rack up a $10bn loss?
Shocking practice Amazon and a mistake I can tell you - you will drive millions off your music services
