Amazon Music Unlimited offering $5-per-month subscription to students

PanARMENIAN.Net - All the students out there already get a nice discount on Apple Music and Spotify, and now you can add Amazon Music Unlimited to that list too. The online retail giant is offering up its relatively new music streaming service to all the students for just $4.99 per month, Engadget said.

That brings it in line with its bigger rivals, price-wise at least. It also means you fork out less than Amazon Prime subscribers ($7.99 per month) and non-Prime customers ($9.99). And, if you're eligible to be a Prime Student member, it will go down to just $6 for six months -- that's just one dollar a month for the period.

Amazon already offers a family plan, which at $149 per year is appealing for Prime subscribers.

Along with the deal, Amazon's also offering up tips on how students can use Alexa's voice controls for music. Looking to focus on your homework? Ask "Alexa, play classical music for studying," or "Alexa, play pop music for focusing." Need a loud ditty to rattle you out of bed in the morning? Just ask, "Alexa, play wake up music." And, if you can't remember the name of a song, just prompt Alexa with its lyrics, or the artist's name. While you're at it, be sure to skip Despacito. All the cool kids are over that one.
