Amazon Music HD gives listeners unlimited
access to more than 70 million songs in High Definition (HD) audio,
more than 7 million songs in Ultra HD, the highest-quality
streaming audio available, and a rapidly-growing catalog of 3D
Audio, including songs mixed in Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA
(NASDAQ: AMZN) ) Amazon Music today announced that
going forward, its high-quality streaming tier, Amazon Music HD,
will be available to all eligible Amazon Music Unlimited
subscribers at no extra cost, unlocking access to the
highest-quality streaming audio for even more music fans. In 2019,
Neil Young called the launch of HD audio for Amazon “the biggest
thing to happen in music since the introduction of digital audio”
and now, even more fans can stream music with all of the depth,
vibrancy, and emotion from artists’ original recordings. Learn more

“When we first launched Amazon Music HD, our goal was to lead
the industry by enabling music fans around the world to stream the
best quality recording, the way artists intended their music to be
heard,” said Steve Boom, VP of Amazon Music. “We’re thrilled now to
make Amazon Music HD available to everyone at no extra cost. All
music fans should have access to this quality of music, and now
they do!”
With Amazon Music HD, customers can stream more than 70 million
lossless, High Definition (HD) songs, with a bit depth of 16 bits
and a sample rate of 44.1kHz (CD quality).
Customers can also stream more than 7 million songs in Ultra HD
(better than CD quality), with a bit depth of 24 bits and a sample
rate up to 192 kHz, which reveals even more nuances that were once
flattened in files compressed for digital streaming. Amazon Music
HD has added more than 5 million songs to its Ultra HD catalog
since its 2019 launch, providing customers with the largest
selection of music in Ultra HD. With Amazon Music HD, customers
also have access to a rapidly-growing catalog of songs remixed in
3D Audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA. Listeners can
stream these 3D mixes when listening on Amazon’s groundbreaking
high-fidelity smart speaker, Echo Studio. Music in 360RA can also
be streamed via Amazon Music HD on Sony’s RA5000 and RA3000
speakers by using Alexa Cast.

Individual Plan, at $7.99/month for Prime members and $9.99/month
for Amazon customers, or the Family Plan, at $14.99/month, can now
easily upgrade to Amazon Music HD at no extra cost. The Amazon
