Music is a part of most of our lives in one way or another. Plenty of us surely listen to songs from our favorite artists across various genres. (And, if you’re a fan of movies like me, then you’re probably fond of soundtracks and scores from the best movie and TV composers.) Of course, a portion of the general public also enjoys reading, with audio books being a preferred method of doing so these days. You may wonder if there’s a way to indulge in both music and literature in a convenient (and financially reasonable way) – and there is.
If you’re someone who loves jamming out to great tunes, then you should surely have a membership to Amazon Music. The streaming platform offers subscription holders a vast array of tracks, with the highest possible audio quality. Also under the Amazon umbrella is Audible, which offers both countless audiobooks as well as various podcasts for streaming. On their own, these two services are formidable, as a number of consumers probably know. But what you may not be aware of is that in a way, they’re now coming closer together.
Amazon Music’s Unlimited tier now includes Audible, which is a massive win for customers. With this arrangement, Unlimited subscribers across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada can listen to one audiobook a month from the brand’s expansive digital library. So, in other words, not only do membership holders have access to 100 million songs in HD sound, but they also have the biggest selection of audiobooks and ad-free podcasts at their fingertips. This all sounds great, and did I mention there’s a sweet deal?
Now, for a limited time, new subscribers who sign up for Unlimited will get three months for free! That means you’ll have three months to immerse yourself in all kinds of tunes here and, in terms of books, you’ll have classics, bestsellers and exclusives from the platform. Additionally, know that Prime subscription holders can subscribe to Unlimited for $9.99 per month or $99 per year, while non-Prime subscribers pay $10.99 monthly. And, if you want more to read, you can grab an Audible membership or purchase titles a la carte.
Anyone who’s on the fence about making this investment may want to give it some serious consideration. There are, after all, some exciting Audible originals on the way. For example, fans of the Harry Potter movies should know that the audiobooks will soon be joined by a new co-production of the original stories, which is set to arrive in 2025. And, of course, the existing digital manuscripts are just a few of the family-friendly audiobooks you’ll find on the platform.
If you’re someone who already enjoys some of Amazon’s best movies and Prime’s most streamable shows, why not treat yourself even further to what Music Unlimited and Audible have to offer? There are a lot of engaging music and audiobooks to consider, with the first free three months truly being the icing on the cake.
