Music hd6/18/2023 ![]() ![]() I was indeed able to access “any” song via my HP laptop, the app on my iPhone XS, and through my Roku, all with relative ease. “Listen to any song, anywhere,” boasts the Amazon Music Unlimited tagline, so I took ’em up on that pledge immediately after commencing my 90-day HD starter window. ![]() The Individual Plan HD runs $12.99 a month or $129 a year, while the Family Plan HD (which can accommodate up to six members) goes for $19.99 a month or $199 a year. Following the trial, renewal offers vary. To access it all, Amazon Music Unlimited offers a full 90-day free trial listening period to both current Amazon Music subscribers and newbies alike - and that alone should be incentive enough to sign up, if you haven’t already. Here, Amazon offers two tiers of hi-res: 1) High Definition (HD), which claims to have over 50 million lossless audio tracks at 16-bit/44.1kHz and 2) Ultra HD, with “millions” of lossless songs up to 24/192. The reason for this sea change is that the online retail giant is now trumpeting Amazon Music HD. Rarely have I bothered following through - I mean, why bother, when I have numerous top-shelf hi-res music streaming services at my fingertips? - but it’s since become a whole new world. Many has been the time where midnight on a Friday rolls around with an email notifying me I can begin streaming (or downloading) whatever new album (or five) I’ve purchased in physical format via Amazon Prime. I’m sure it comes as no surprise that, as much as I visit brick-and-mortar record stores whenever and wherever I can, I also continue to buy a lot of physical product through Amazon. Until now, I have to admit I’d never really accessed the standard Amazon Music service with any regularity. The more I listened to hi-res music with Amazon’s newly upgraded streaming service, Amazon Music HD, the more I could hear the voice of Michael Palin’s Cardinal Ximénez from the infamous Monty Python’s Flying Circus sketch about The Spanish Inquisition, albeit with one verbal twist: “Nobody expects Amazon Music HD!” ![]()
