Kinda random but I have recently come across Amazon Music and I don’t really see anyone talking about it. Everyone I’ve asked about Amazon Music says that YouTube Music is the golden standard of music streaming platforms. I’ve been trying to look into alternative music streaming services other than the infamous ones (Apple Music and Spotify).

In recent years, subscription prices for both Apple Music and Spotify have been fluctuating and becoming insanely high. Granted, that popular demand for these platforms are very high, but I just can’t justify these ridiculous prices.

On the other hand, Amazon Music and YouTube Music seem more budget-friendly and exceptionally affordable when compared to mainstream streaming services. I’m not that well-versed in the layout, discoverability, and sound quality of these platforms, but I’d like to know from whoever uses them or have used them if they are actually better than the popular ones.

The Android app is awful. The UI is dated, clunky, slow, and ugly. Whenever I use the app, I feel like I'm using an app from 2013. It needs a whole visual refresh.

The entire app itself should be rewritten. It crashes for me constantly, which is unacceptable due to the fact that I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro, which is beyond suitable for a modern app.

In addition, there should be more lyric sources for songs. Way too many songs are missing lyrics. Most of the songs that are missing lyrics do in fact have them on other platforms, such as Spotify.

One more thing, Linux support for the desktop app (which also needs a complete visual refresh for the same reasons as the Android app) should be considered. I don't like the hassle of setting up a web app, and for the fact you can't download songs through the website.

That is all.

As the title says. I use a very specific song by 800 cherries to fall asleep and my autistic self got unreasonably upset when I tried to play it on my Alexa and it said the song could not be found. I checked the website to see if other songs by the band are still there, and there is only one left. Has this happened to anyone else with other artists, and is it a problem with Amazon Music itself or is it a contract/licensing thing?

Title says most of it. i press on a song on my phone, it plays well. Pc; a "Service Error" no matter how many times I try. My Opera GX VPN is off, and I don't DARE call customer support for fear of speaking to someone, so I'm here just kinda ranting.

Can't bring democracy in helldivers 2 without proper music

Hey all. Me and my family are currently setting up for Christmas. We frequently use the playlist "Christmas Classics", and we have every year. But as of recent, I've noticed a few songs that I've never heard before. These songs sound like they were recorded in the 1920's, and stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest. After asking Alexa who the artist is that made the song, she gives the name of some random SoundCloud user. It started with that one song at first, but slowly the "Classics" playlist has been overrun with this plague of newly generated slop.

I guess my question is 1: has anyone else had this problem? And 2: how would i go about fixing this problem and letting some team know? Is there even anyway for any team at Amazon to start cracking down on these? Thanks all.

Been an AM premium user for 10+ years, and for those 10+ years we've been using our Echo devices without much issue. Starting within the last week or so, she no longer recognizes our command "Alexa, play my music". This command has ALWAYS had her start playing / shuffling my "liked" music (4,000+ songs). Now this command has her start playing some extremely random Led Zepplin channel or station (note - I have zero Led Zepplin, anywhere liked, downloaded, or in any playlist). The only way I can get her to play my "liked" music now is with the command "Alexa, play my liked music", and she proceeds to play my liked music is the order the songs were liked, most recent first. It will not shuffle... Just plays the same exact songs, in order of most recently liked, over and over and over again. Anyone else dealing with this annoying crap?

At this point, this has me seriously considering swapping to Spotify or some other music streaming service.

Hey everyone, I need some help. Amazon Music (music.amazon.in) was working fine in Edge on Windows 11 until yesterday. Now every time I play a song, it says “Your browser does not support this content.”

It still works in Chrome on the same PC, so it’s only Edge.

Has anyone faced this before? Any ideas would help.

(this is on my mobile device and not an Echo)
i’m not sure if it’s a bug within my own app or not.. but it’s been doing this thing where when it’s playing on shuffle, it’ll play for only two songs and pause for no reason at all at the end of the song. once i go to unpause it, it plays the previous song once again. my skip bar will even be grayed out and the song will be unskippable. the only way i’ve found out how to “fix” it is completely swipe out the app and the skip bar will appear again. just for it to happen once again 2 songs later.

has anyone else had this issue or is it just my app?
is it something that can be fixed or do i just have to deal with it??😩

How do I get this to change?

I just did a test where I set my liked Playlist (about 2200 songs) to shuffle and hit forward 200 times.

Of those only 10 were songs that I liked when I first set up Amazon (about 1500 songs) years ago.

That means 190 were out of only 700 songs, all in the last year.

Is there a way to adjust this?

Such a path€tic piece of sh!t is your app. No consistency at all. Why do I have different user experience each time I use this path€tic cr@p. Not that I'm giving it another chance in the future even if someone pays me to use this bloated garbage.

I’ve been listening to Greta Van Fleet’s latest album since its release on the ninth with no issues until today. Now it’s completely unavailable aside from the pre-release singles. I’ve tried on multiple devices. I’ve restarted my devices. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app on said devices. I’ve tried using the web-browser version. I’ve tried on different WiFi networks. I’ve tried cellular. Nothing will work. It’s infuriating. Anyone got a fix?

Acem Kizi is an extremely famous Turkish folk song that has at least five well-known covers by famous singers. I see none of them in the Amazon Music app and instead there are 30+ AI slop versions of it.

I’m in my trial period but it doesn’t seem like I’ll continue with a subscription.

Why did the app developers remove something so useful? Obviously, they aren't music connoisseurs, or they'd realize the bars were a very useful way to explore unfamiliar albums and possibly the best songs on those albums.

I've been listening to Atmos mixes quite often, but Amazon Music has been making their app worse and worse.

First they removed the search filter for "360 Reality Audio" and "Dolby Atmos" and now they've removed the little Atmos logo that indicates if an album is available in Dolby Atmos, making it incredibly annoying to find Atmos songs in their FireTV stick app where switching from an Atmos song to stereo blows your ears out since the stereo mixes seem to be mastered way louder. So if you don't pay attention to your playlist, say good bye to your eardrums...

Sorry, can't find much info about this particular combo. Thanks!

I’m wondering if anyone else is having this glitch or knows how to fix it without having to lose all of my downloads…
So essentially, on my downloaded music, every time I play it, there is one song that CONSTANTLY replays. For me, it’s Butcher Vanity by Flavor Foley.

I’ll be listening to a song, when it ends it plays Butcher Vanity and I skip the song, and the next song is Butcher Vanity. It varies how many times I have to skip the song, but it ALWAYS replays. I will have to skip the song five times because it will show up several times in a row.

I have tried removing it from my downloaded music several times but it just re-downloads itself! It’s driving me nuts and I can’t listen to just my downloaded music when I take it off of data it is so frustrating.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Honestly, it is such an appallingly badly designed piece of utter and complete trash, it’s disgusting. It is literally the absolute worst app I’ve ever had on my phone.

And it’s EVERYTHING! I don’t even know where to start. It’s literally everything.

- the app is slow as a mf (I feel like it’s 1998 when I start it up)
- the whole design is the most counterintuitive thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life
- most of the functions are utterly useless (“Your playlist” aka some random shit compilation jumping back and forth between opera and death metal .. which absolute moron came up with that??)
- songs from playlists are all of a sudden unavailable
- lots of songs are generally grayed out
- some songs are not grayed out but cannot be played
- sometimes you click on a song and a different song plays, you try again, same result, again again again, just broken, restart the app, still the same, well, can’t listen to that song then I guess
- “car mode” is so bad, I think someone should receive capital punishment for that
- the app regularly freezes up and crashes, gets stuck on loading screen
- organisation of the categories is a nightmare .. you cannot organise your albums or songs in any meaningful way, it’s just completely fkn shit here fk you, good luck finding what you’re looking for
- the music selection is generally garbage, if you’re not a complete musical dyslexic who is content listening to any random radio station
- it fills up your storage bc you cannot delete songs you downloaded without deleting the app (genius ..)

This is one of the richest companies in the history of the planet, it has driven everything else out of business, and we accept everything the throw our way. No rules against monopolising the market and then torturing everyone with your trash app and services.

The fact that this sub is basically people ranting speaks for itself, same goes for other Amazon-related subs. It’s just an awful company that makes awful products and provides terrible service. And yet, we make them richer by the minute for lack of alternatives.

Is there a way to see the percentage or where you are at progress-wise for an audiobook? I only see how much is left, not how much has been listened to.
