Amazon plans to launch a free ad-supported music service, according to a new report. The alleged service will take on Spotify and other streaming music competitors who already offer free music options to subscribers. Key to the new service — assuming it actually launches — will be Amazon’s hardware products, specifically the Echo smart speaker models.
Ad-supported free music streaming services remain popular with a number of consumers. Unlike paid offerings, these streaming tiers typically do not allow users to save music for offline access, limit the number of songs that can be skipped, and block the ability to find and stream specific songs, instead requiring the user to put a playlist on shuffle.
