I am really thrilled with Amazon Music. I started with the app for PC so I could enjoy my Amazon Prime Music benefits on my computer, but then added Amazon Music to my Galaxy Note and Kindle Fire. I am really sold on this, and here's why:
Being a Prime member, I can add a wide variety of music to my cloud storage for free, which is exactly what I did. Hundreds of songs - FREE! Not only that, but I also organized all of the music on my computer and set up playlists, which I realize is something that other software can do, but no other software gives you all of the advantages of Amazon Music with Prime Music.
I've purchased quite a bit of music from Amazon over the years and all of the music was available within Amazon Music. How convenient! I now no longer have to cart around CDs when I travel - I just fire up the Amazon Prime app and can access the music I've purchased, plus all of the free Prime Music I can handle. There is a wide enough variety there to satisfy even my eclectic tastes.
If you have existing audio on your devices, you can add it to the app and organize it into playlists as well. The one thing I've not been able to do, however, is combine both locally-stored music with music stored in the cloud. I'm not sure it's possible to do so. Even with that drawback, however, I find this app immensely useful.
I noticed some other people are complaining about how difficult/clunky it is to use. To be honest, I thought it was really straightforward and easy to use. One complaint that I saw says you can't use your newly-purchased music unless you download everything again... I bought some new music yesterday and I downloaded just the new music. It was very simple to figure out and download. Perhaps the complainers had an older version of the app?
If you are a Prime member and love music, I think you'll like this app. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Great selection of music, not-so-great UI quirks
Amazon Music is a really great service content-wise. It has a really good selection of classic and new albums as well as a healthy collection of video game music. There are some albums that are not available when compared to Spotify or Apple Music, but it's still a really good selection. I love the price (if you're a Prime subscriber), I love the option to play music in HD, and I LOVE that the developers finally figured out gapless playback. Unfortunately, that's where my praise ends.- When trying to play local files from the app, the artwork does not show up, even if the song or album in question is downloaded from Amazon. I have tried multiple solutions including resetting the app cache, reinstalling the app, and the like, but nothing works. I feel that having artwork display for your personal collection is a basic feature for several music services, and this needs to be addressed ASAP.- In the Android notification preview, the full artwork quality is displayed if starting music from an album or selecting a song. However, when shuffling all songs, the artwork is super blurry. All other music services display the artwork correctly, and none of the solutions I have tried fix this.- I have encountered multiple instances of the wrong song playing when I expect a different version in the album it is played on. For instance, for a while, every song labeled "Get Back Up" by TobyMac was the version without vocals AND in the wrong key, regardless of which album it was from. In the album "The Eternal Dance" by Earth Wind and Fire, the version of "Fantasy" that played for a while was the single version rather than the full one. Finally, the version of "Can You Feel It" on the album "The Essential Jacksons" was the live version when it shouldn't have been. It seems all of these issues have been fixed since I last noticed them a couple of months ago, but I hope that these issues do not keep occurring.- It is INCREDIBLY annoying that the songs that I add to playlists are automatically added to my library. I use my account as a way to share playlists with other people as part of volunteer work, and as a result, I add songs to playlists that I would never think to listen to. Now, when those songs are added to the playlists I create, they are now part of my library even if I may not necessarily like them or listen to them. If I even think of removing the song from my library, it gets removed from my playlists, too. I wish that adding songs to playlists and adding them to your library were separate.I have signed up for a year's worth of Amazon Music Unlimited as of March 25, and if these issues aren't resolved by the end of the year, I am thinking I will have to move on to a different music service. These issues are very annoying to deal with on a constant basis, which is a shame, because the music selection is pretty stellar and I love the price given that I am a Prime subscriber. I hope that Amazon is able to fix these issues in the future.
