Trying it out now. Sounds great! Probably no surprise (being lossless). This’ll be interesting now that there’s a cheaper lossless service than Tidal and Qobuz, and it appears you don’t pay extra for the higher than CD res albums either. Just the 320kbps choice, or the ‘HD’ 16-bit lossless and above.
Wonder if the Autorip CDs are now upgraded to lossless...
I wonder how Tidal, Qobuz and Apple will respond... Great for the consumers!
Not so sure about that, I think there's very different audiences for both.More importantly to many, maybe this will be enough to persuade Spotify to pull their finger out and offer lossless streaming...

How awful.Too bad they use the erroneous and misleading stair step pictures in their advertising...
I’ve just tried to sign up for the free trial by clicking through on the link in my post, but seemed to get redirected to the US site amazon.com which then asked me for the expiry date of an ancient credit card which I no longer have as I only used amazon.com once years ago when I wanted something from the US. How did you log in?
There is a dropdown box at the bottom where you can select Amazon.co.uk instead. This is using the app on a Mac. Assume it's the same on Windows too.
Agree, I'm hooked on the Spotify interface now and it would take alot for me to move. I live in a 320kb world ATM. Not too bad for alot of the trashy rock stuff I listen too anyway but it still rubs me the wrong way.
BTW, all the future stuff we were discussing on here around the time of Squeezbox nearly 15 years ago seems to be coming to pass. It creeps up on us all...
Nowt wrong with 320's, I often choose to listen to them over FLAC's as they are smoother, a little more analogue sounding ..probably distortion, but still, sounds nicer at times.
Amazon is a tax evading shit employer
How extensive is the catalogue compared to Spotify (which I find has literally EVERYTHING).
If you're an existing Prime Subscriber is it cheaper than if you're not?
