Prime Music - Amazon's new music service

As a person who's always on the lookout for new, obscure music and a non-Prime shopper, I will probably not experience Prime Music. That being said, as @mishachellam mentioned, I think it's a great way for Amazon to entice more customers to take the plunge and convert into Prime users. If I ever start using Amazon as much as @MarketerGraham does, then I'll convert too!

Totally agree with @davidkmckinney - I think Spotify's already taken huge leaps in combatting the 'I must own it' point of view, especially with enabling offline playback. Anyone know if there are plans to expand the catalogue? How limited is it at present?

@lylemckeany @mishachellam I doubt if it's ever meant as a compelling standalone offer. Highly possible it is just a piece of the puzzle, usually as JB is about to bring together. Books, movies, series & music; what if it all came free and a device for only $99/year?

@riaface there's 1 million songs I read

@_jacksmith Not terrible! For comparison, I believe Spotify has around 20 million, Deezer has 30 million, and Pandora less than 1 million.

@riaface @_jacksmith I doubt numbers mean much, without context

@ugurkaner @_jacksmith True. For example, a million songs by 100,000 different artists would be better than 20 million songs by Nickleback.

@riaface @_jacksmith for example :)

@ugurkaner @_jacksmith Definitely just plucked a name out of the air.

Offering free with Prime - another great example of "music sells everything but music". Tie in with Prime, tie in with Amazon shopping. Music is a small acquisition cost in grand scheme of things
