Amazon has taken a significant step to enhance its Spotify competitor, Amazon Music Unlimited. In the US, UK, and Canada, subscribers now have the exciting opportunity to access one title per month from Audible's vast catalog of over a million audiobooks. This new addition makes the music streaming platform even more appealing.

Unlock Audiobook Delights with Amazon Music Unlimited

Monthly Audiobook Access in the US, UK, and Canada

Amazon has opened up a unique benefit for its subscribers in these regions. They can now choose one audiobook each month from Audible's extensive collection. This allows music lovers to explore a different auditory experience while enjoying their favorite music on Amazon Music Unlimited. It's a great way to diversify one's entertainment options. For instance, a subscriber might choose a classic novel in one month and a motivational audiobook the next. The possibilities are endless.

It's important to note that there is no cap on the listening hours for the monthly audiobook. However, one can only access one audiobook at a time. If one wishes to swap the audiobook, they will have to wait until the following month. But if they haven't finished the current audiobook by the end of the month, they have the option to continue with it for an additional period. This flexibility gives subscribers the freedom to enjoy audiobooks at their own pace.

Standalone Audible Membership for Extra Audiobook Needs

Customers who require more than one audiobook per month have the option to obtain a standalone Audible membership. This provides them with unrestricted access to a wide range of audiobooks. Alternatively, they can also purchase their preferred titles directly from Audible's app. This gives them the convenience of having their favorite audiobooks readily available. Whether it's for relaxation or educational purposes, having multiple options ensures that there is always something to suit one's mood and interests.

Offers for Different Amazon Music Unlimited Plans

The new perk is valid for both the Amazon Music Unlimited individual plan, which costs $10.99 per month, and the primary account holders of the family plan, which is priced at $14.99 per month. With over 100 million songs in HD audio and ad-free podcasts, Amazon Music Unlimited already offers a great entertainment experience. The addition of the monthly audiobook access takes it to the next level. It shows Amazon's commitment to providing a comprehensive audio entertainment package.

Steve Boom, Amazon's VP of audio, Twitch, and games, emphasized the significance of this combination. "The combination of Amazon Music and Audible, two pioneers in audio streaming, brings an unmatched selection of audio entertainment to customers," he said. This statement highlights the value that Amazon is offering to its subscribers and the importance of integrating different audio services.

Earlier this year, Amazon Music's rival Spotify also rolled out a similar audiobook perk for its top-tier subscribers. With Spotify Premium priced at $11.99 per month, users can access 15 hours of audiobook listening per month from over 250,000 audiobook titles. This shows the growing trend of integrating audiobooks into music streaming platforms and the competition among these services to provide the best audio entertainment options.
