Amazon launches its free music service for alexa users in the united states

In the wake of rumors earlier this week, Amazon has announced the launch of a free, ad-supported option for its streaming music service for Amazon Alexa users. This new modality is already available in the United States.
Amazon follows Spotify's footsteps and launches Amazon Music free with ads
Owners of Alexa devices in the United States who do not have a Prime subscription or an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, can now listen to a selection of advertising playlists and stations at no cost on Amazon Echo devices and other devices where Alexa has been enabled.
Thus, the new ad-supported option adds more utility for Alexa users, who can ask the virtual assistant to play stations based on songs, artists, times or genres, and can also request to listen to the main global Amazon Music playlists.
Amazon's free music offering is available in conjunction with its Prime music service, which provides access to over two million songs, and Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon's on-demand music service priced at $ 9.99 / euros per month. Amazon Music Unlimited allows users to access more than 50 million songs.
Considering the limitations of Amazon's new free service with advertising for Alexa users, it does not seem that Amazon is going to become a significant competitor for Spotify, which has already offered its own free service with advertising for years, being one of the few music services offered by this option.
