Two days ago we asked whether ever-increasing TV streaming prices meantthe streaming bubble had burst, noting that “a host of top streaming services have just raised prices”. But it’s not just TV and movie streaming. Most of thebest music streamershave upped their prices too, andAmazonMusic has just introduced the second price hike this year.
Amazon upped the price for non-Prime subscribers back in January, increasing the cost of an individual plan from $9.99 to $10.99 a month and upping the student plan from $4.99 to $5.99. And now the price is going up for Prime subscribers too.
Amazon Music Unlimited is the premium tier of Amazon Music, with a catalogue of around 100 million songs and many tracks avaialbe in HD and/or spatial audio. In order to qualify for its Prime prices you need to have anAmazon Primesubscription. That’s gone up too, rising from $119 to $139 a year, or $14.99 a month. In the UK it’s £8.99 a month or £95 per year.
The new prices take effect today for new subscribers and from 19 September for existing ones.

For Prime subscribers, Amazon Music Unlimited is going up from $8.99 to $9.99 per month or from $89 to $99 annually. The Family Plan is going up from $15.99 to $16.99 monthly, or from $159 to $169 annually.
