Amazon Brings Alexa+ to Amazon Music on iOS and Android for Early Access Users

Amazon reports higher usage from testers, with post‑beta access free for Prime members or $19.99 monthly for non‑Prime customers.

Overview

  • The integration is live today inside the Amazon Music app across all subscription tiers for Alexa+ Early Access users, accessible via the in‑app “a” button.
  • Alexa+ enables conversational discovery that can answer obscure music questions, explain lyrics and artist influences, and identify songs from partial lyrics or TV and movie placements.
  • Users can request highly specific, dynamically generated playlists that reflect mood, era, tempo, or exclusions, then save, rename, and modify those playlists over time.
  • Amazon says Early Access listeners explore songs three times more than with the original assistant and those seeking recommendations listen to nearly 70% more music, with more than 1 million users already in the program.
  • Amazon has not provided a date for wider rollout, and coverage frames the move as positioning Amazon Music against Spotify’s recent ChatGPT integration within a broader push into agent‑style AI.
