Overview
- Fan Groups is live in beta on iOS and Android in Canada, letting listeners create or join communities organized by genres and artists.
- Members can post and chat, share tracks and playlists, and stream songs without leaving the group using a play-all control or a dedicated music tab.
- Artists can join groups to connect directly with fans and share exclusive material.
- Anyone can start a group, with tools to mute members and delete messages, and users can report content or block others.
- Amazon seeded more than 30 groups to spur activity, allows external links in posts, and plans a rollout to the U.S. and other markets early next year as it adds social features to compete with rivals.
