Amazon music app

I like Spotify better.

Anyone tried listening to an opera on shuffle?

I have Amazon Prime, but I never think to use the music app. I find it complicated to navigate. I last tried it at Christmas with a playlist of Christmas music to tootle in the background, but I normally listen to podcasts, or a concert on Radio 3.

I have several unopened CDs on my shelf since I discovered that you could download the music as MP3 if you had paid for the CD.

It's a complete con. I pay for Amazon Prime which used to give me Amazon Music and I could play anything I wanted. I spent ages making playlists of tracks of my choosing but now, not only do I not get my playlist, if I ask for a particular artist singing a track, it will start off with that one song and then what they call 'shuffle' other tracks at random they think I'd like, usually I don't! Also, they only let you skip 6 songs you're not keen on before closing you down and encouraging you to buy their Amazon Unlimited which will give you any track or artist you want but at another £8.99 a month and I'm already paying £8.99 for Prime. I've seen lots of people complaining on social media about this total rip off and so many cancelling their subscription to Prime in protest but I doubt they'll change it back to how it was, it's sheer greed

I also forgot to mention the ads which interspersed the shuffled tracks.

No only shuffled but intercalated with other "similar" tracks "you might like". It's dreadful.

If Amazon Music was free, then I could maybe tolerate it, but it's meant to be a part of the Prime package, for which I pay yearly.

I like to listen to a bit of music but not enough to take out an additional subscription, be it to Amazon or Spotify or whatever.
