Get four months of Amazon Music Unlimited for 99p
Amazon has cut the cost of Music Unlimited streaming over the holiday season
Amazon is offering a four month trial of its Music Unlimited service over Black Friday, with ad-free songs available for less than a quid.
The 99p deal gives access to Amazon’s Spotify-like music library, which would normally set you back £9.99 per month if you’re not a Prime subscriber, and £7.99 if you are.
The offer actually lasts for some time beyond Black Friday, up until 6 January 2020, but it’s only available to new Amazon Music Unlimited customers. You should also be aware that the trial will automatically switch to a paid plan when the four months are up, so be sure to set yourself a calendar reminder once you sign up.
Amazon Music Unlimited itself is similar to other music streaming services, with the Unlimited portion entailing ad-free songs, the ability to download tracks for offline playback, and connectivity with Amazon’s own Alexa digital assistant.
If you’re curious about how Amazon Music Unlimited stacks up against its rivals, we have a handy guide to the relative positives and negatives of Spotify and Apple Music. The former is similarly offering a trial period over Black Friday, so you can get access to both should you wish. Spotify generally has a larger library, but Amazon’s offering could be convincing if you’re already invested in the company’s Prime ecosystem.
The service is cheaper if you happen to be a Prime subscriber. We’ve charted the various benefits of signing up to Amazon Prime, if you’d like an overview of what a membership entails.

You’ll need something to play the music on, after all.
