Am I correct that with Amazon Music unlimited you can download songs?  If so, this would totally make it worth it to me as I could download them to my iPhone/iWatch - especially on my watch would be great as I don't own a lot of music and I'm getting tired of the same music during my workouts.

I think you can download songs on the regular version.

 
Def can download songs with Amazon prime. Have about 200 songs on my phone I have downloaded. I download them all through the Amazon music app

If I needed a suit or something quickly, obviously it would make sense to go to a store and buy that. I wouldn't buy a suit or something online. But for regular every day clothing like shirts, jeans, shorts, shoes, etc., I would have no problem buying that stuff online.

I have bought a bunch of name brand suits from amazon.  Usually pay around $100 and spend another $40 on alternations.   Still cheaper than the mall and not any less convenient. 

It helps that I'm a 42L with 34 waist, so not fishing for some odd size 

 
I've had Prime music for years and have always been able to download songs for offline listening. Been doing it on my original Fire when I travel for as long as I can remember.

 
I love Prime, and Amazon on general. I really do. Amazon support when I have a problem with an order is second to none. But honestly, is there worse support on the planet than what you get when you contact support for the Fire Tablet?

First off, yes, I am tainted. After two bad tablets in three months, I have spent way more time talking to these folks than anyone should ever have too. I have essentially memorized the script that the first level of support uses when you call. And tonight, I had to call. Well, chat. My wife's second replacement arrived today. Good out of the box, already registered and everything. Connect to the wifi. Go to restore it and it refuses at accept my Amazon PW. I now have to choices, call for help, or don't restore, because you can't go back later and do it. You either enter the PW (which it won't accept) or select "Don't Restore." There is no "Restore Later" option.

Connect to chat. Explain the problem. She says ok, let's deregister and reregister your device. NO! It is registered fine. No problem. I need to restore, not register. Oh, ok.

I can see you are online and registered, great. Can you tell me if you have any bars in the upper right? I need to make sure you are online. Uhm, lady, didn't you just say you could see I was online and registered? Oh yes. Sorry.

Ok, well, lets try rebooting your device (which has now been powered on the length of time of this chat plus two minutes). I tell her no. There is no reason to repower it. WTF does turning it off and on have to do not with it saying my PW is incorrect? I mean, what at all????

I ended the chat and just skipped the restore. Honestly, I get that front line is minimum wage workers with no IT skills. But seriously, you can't tailor the script to the problem at all??? It is just so frustrating to spend 20 minutes running through this same intro crap EVERY.... SINGLE.... TIME I have to call.

That being said, does anyone know if it wants some PW OTHER than your Amazon one on this screen? Because I do not recall ever setting up any other type of PW for the Fire. And it said to use my Amazon one.

Anyone have a Firestick stop working?  I have replace batteries in the remote but it will not turn on?  I even tried it at multiple TVs.

Those name brand suits aren't really name brand suits. They're the cheaper versions of the name brand suits, made with cheaper materials, and worse quality, at different factories from where those name brands normally make their suits. Some of them can be fine or serviceable -- I've tried a number of them off the web -- but mostly the ones I've ended up with are exactly what I'd expect for a $100 suit.  Point is, don't kid yourself into thinking you got a great deal on a suit because the label says "Calvin Klein."

unplug and restart/setup.  Mine did the same thing.  

Restart Your Fire TV and Network Connections

Try restarting your device, router, and/or modem to see if this resolves the problem.

To restart your Fire TV: 

Unplug the power adapter for three seconds, then plug it back in.

You can also restart your device with your remote. Press and hold the Select  and Play/Pause  buttons at the same for about five seconds, until your device restarts. Or, select Settings > Device > Restart from the Fire TV menu.

 
They're doing daily giveaways every few hours up ti Prime Day, In the Amazon app go to menu and then down to Win Prizes Daily. Single click entry and then click to see if you won. Every 20,000th entry is a winner. Longshots but worth 2 clicks to try.

I don't see that entry

 
so i had to downlaod the amazon shopping app and it still didnt show up ( my phone makes me use underground for video)

I clicked on deals of the day and it showed up in my menu eventually

 
Can someone explain to me the pricing of amazon music?  I'm a prime member and I just started listening a week ago.   They're prompting me to sign up for their service but I'm not exactly sure of the cost or what it gets me.   It says $.99/month as a prime member ($9.99 per otherwise) but when I click to signup I see different plans all with much higher amounts than the prime offer on the prompt.  I've just listened to some of the stations and jumped around to some of the artist pages and I'm not sure what I currently don't have access to which I'll get if I sign up for a plan.   Overall, its a very nice experience.

I got it about 4-5 months ago. It was $70 for the year, I believe. That's for Music Unlimited (30 million or so songs). Prime Music (2 million songs) was free for Prime customers. Not sure what you're seeing and maybe it's changed.

This is the prompt I'm talking about http://imgur.com/a/QCl6f.    When I click on the button, there's this http://imgur.com/a/PCA5c.  I guess when they say $.99/month what they mean is $.99 for the first 4 months.   

 
So my second replacement Fire tablet is dead out of the box. Resolution is to send it in and wait arrival of the FOURTH ####### Fire tablet. I cannot stress enough how big of a piece of #### this thing has been.

I made this switch this week. Was a Spotify guy for a long time and Amazon's pricing seemed the same or better, but I also liked the Alexa integration (now I don't need to ask Alexa to play a song ON SPOTIFY). Upgraded to the family plan and, after a complaint email to them after they charged me full price, got the discount so that it was 119 for the year for the family plan. Now I can have my wife cancel her subscription and we'll save a few bucks. 

I'm still getting used to it, but at the outset I've found the Amazon unlimited interface to be clunky and disorienting. It's slowly improving as I figure out where stuff is, but at first wasn't thrilled.  We will see.

That's pretty awesome. Of course, they know that very few would actually cancel after the 4 month "basically free" trial.

They know we're all too lazy to redo playlists. Hell, I've only got about 500 or so songs on various playlists (which I know is a drop in the bucket for some long time Spotify people), but I wouldn't want to bother with redoing that fairly small hassle. 

 
I switched to the Amazon unlimited music about 6 months ago.  I'm very happy with it.  I can listen on any device for $8 a month, plus with the Echo it's a no-brainer imo.  As others have mentioned you can also listen offline.

So I'm still an old Pandora guy. Wife wants a custom playlist for her birthday party, so I need to add 100+ songs manually. Amazon will work better than Spotify for this task?

 
I think all of the pay music services offer the same catalog. The only differences I can think of are:

  • Google Play - Music subscription comes with ad-free YouTube
  • Amazon - Cheaper. According to my math, by switching to Amazon (with the four month introductory $0.99 per month rate), I'll save $52 over the next 12 months.
No idea if there are incentives to use iTunes, Spotify or Groove (assuming it is still a thing).

How many unique logins do you get with Google or Amazon? Spotify gives you 6 for $15 a month. I don't use it as much as I should but I shared it with my wife, daughter, mother in law, and a couple of friends so at least I know it is getting well used for the price.
