Amazon Music HD: Costs and content at a glance
Amazon Music Unlimited users get a message when starting the client or app these days. This gives you the opportunity to test Amazon Music HD. We introduce the new service.
With Amazon Music HD, you get songs in the very highest quality.
Maximum sound quality is not equally important for all music fans. People with a fine ear may feel addressed by Amazon Music HD.What can Amazon Music HD better?
The central feature of Amazon Music HD is already clear with the name:- HD songs are uncompressed and therefore have a higher sound quality.
- Add to this the technical data: The sampling depth is 24 bits, the maximum bit rate is 3,730 kb/s and the sampling rate is 192 KHz.
- For comparison, the normal Amazon Music offers a maximum bit rate of 320 kb/s. That is less than a tenth of the HD version.
- In return, the song files are much larger - this is noticeable in the data volume, and in the offline use in the storage space. Even a single song can be over 300 MB in size.
- For the hearing, however, these differences are not too obvious, but rather subtle. The speakers or headphones used also play a role for this.
- Price: Amazon Music HD costs 14.99 euros, Prime subscribers pay only 12.99 euros, as the package is based on the Amazon Music price of 7.99 for Prime customers euros, as explained here. Thus, there is always an extra 5 euros for the HD service.
- The music library is the same as Amazon Music Unlimited.
