Apple's Jimmy Iovine has characterized Beats Music as helping to find "what song comes next." When a subscriber first signs up for Beats, they're prompted with a series of options designed to gauge musical tastes.

But in terms of presentation and functionality, Prime Music is not truly a streaming service competitor.ĭiscovery is limited and there's nothing free here When it comes to new music discovery, a feature central to Pandora and Apple's Beats Music, Amazon Prime is severely lacking. It's easy to see why Amazon chose this path - the company is, after all, primarily a retailer, and still intends to sell music. The only difference is that the songs covered by Prime Music are free. Instead of clicking on and instantly playing songs, users are required to browse through Amazon's offerings and add them to their library, just as they would if they were purchasing MP3s from Amazon. Whereas a service like Beats Music or Spotify offers a sort of platform for easily browsing and playing songs, Amazon Prime Music doesn't differ noticeably from its standard MP3 store.

Amazon's service is also lacking in terms of music quality.
