Amazon has announced a game-changing integration between its two pioneering services – Amazon Music Unlimited and Audible. Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can now in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada can now access Audible’s extensive catalog of audiobooks directly within the Amazon Music app, ushering in a new era of immersive audio experiences.
According to Steve Boom, Amazon’s Vice President of Audio, Twitch, and Games, this collaboration brings “an unmatched selection of audio entertainment to customers.” By merging the forces of Amazon Music and Audible, the company is poised to redefine the boundaries of audio streaming once again, following the success of Alexa, high-definition, and spatial music innovations.
Here’s What You Need to Know:
- Individual Perks: One audiobook per month, of any length, with no deadline to finish. Choose a new title whenever you’re ready, or keep listening to your current book across billing cycles.
- Upgrade for Avid Readers: Want more than one audiobook per month? Easily subscribe to a full Audible membership or purchase titles à la carte through the dedicated Audible app.
- Family Plan Clarification Pending: While primary account holders can access one free audiobook, Amazon has yet to confirm whether family plan members can share this title or select their own. Stay tuned for updates as we await Amazon’s response.
