The music library can be accessed via any device, smartphone, tablet or PC, with the possibility of connecting through the web console or the app for Android and iOS downloadable from the Google Play Store and App Store.
In the Music Unlimited catalog are proposed more commercial tracks, including all the biggest hits of Italian and international music, as well as a wide assortment of less mainstream tracks, with many songs by little-known artists and less popular genres. Amazon's premium service offers ad-free music streaming, offline listening with the ability to download tracks within the app to create your own playlists, and is also compatible with voice commands, the Alexa virtual assistant and all smart speakers in the Amazon Echo line.
