Apple Music isn’t the only major streaming service raising quality across the board. Amazon has revealed that its lossless Music HD tier will be available to Music Unlimited subscribers at no extra charge. You can sign up here for the service, which is available at $7.99 per month for Prime members, $9.99 for individuals, and $14.99 for families. It’s initially accessible to customers in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
With Apple announcing support for spatial audio and lossless quality for its service, Amazon has stepped up to the challenge by making its lossless audio tier available to all Amazon Music users.

What just happened? As more companies are starting to support lossless CD-quality music streaming, Amazon has decided to remove the extra fee of the Amazon Music HD tier. From now on, Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can access the library of high-quality audio at no extra cost, making it by far the most affordable HD music streaming service on the market.
Since its introduction in September 2019, Amazon Music subscribers had the option to pay an extra $5 on top of its Music Unlimited subscription for high-def audio. Now that option is included with Amazon Music Unlimited in the $9.99 monthly subscription, or $7.99 if they are subscribed to Prime, making it the cheapest streaming service providing users with high-fidelity music.
