    No. There is still no native plugin for Amazon Music and there will be
    no plugin as long as Amazon does not provide open access to theire API :-(.

    However, you can use the Amazon Music app on iOS and stream the music
    via AirPlay to a LMS player.

    this will work with bitrates up to CD quality, but not for hires content.

    Maybe it is also possible to stream Amazon from an Echo or another
    Amazon device to LMS, but I have no such a device and have therefore
    never tested it.

    could be quite cool.

        I'm looking at it now ... What makes it so cool? Looks like a bazillion other music services.

          Amazon Prime Music!

          The most obvious immediate benefit is that persons already subscribing
          to Amazon Prime get it for no additional cost.

            Just like in the UK Amazon Prime subscription increased by £30.00 when video was added!

              I find Amazon Prime movies to be so horribly unusable that I never watch anything on it. Can't imagine the music service would be anything better. The primary purpose of the Prime movies seems to be to sell you DVDs.

                Their movie app on my tv is basically unusable but the one on my Sony bluray player isn't too bad. Made it at least another option to Netflix.

                  Amazon Prime Music

                  I just took a look at the music library that Amazon is offering and there are many artists and albums that I like. I would love to be able to play them on my SBT.

                  Please someone help create an app.

                    My experience with the video service has been OK. We don't use it much,
                    but the streams have been reliable and of good quality. We use their
                    PS3 app for viewing. We've watched mostly TV shows: Alpha House and
                    Orphan Black.

                    At first glance the music service is a little underwhelming. The seem
                    to be focused on big name artists, and selected tracks. Not my area of
                    interest. Maybe it will improve.

                    One nice thing they did was to preload a "Library" page in the mobile
                    app with music I'd purchased on physical formats over the last few
                    years. That's actually pretty handy.

                    It's always nice to have options, but given where they are and the fact
                    that I'm enjoying my Beats subscription, I don't see myself using Amazon
                    Music all that much.

                      Interesting -- I've found Amazaon prime movies work fine on my iPad, computer, or on my tv via a Roku box. The menu/selection functions fine and haven't had issues with the streaming itself. The current music selection seems much less extensive than most other services (they boast "over a million songs", which is a small fraction of Spotify, Rhapsody, and probably others).

                        And my cursory initial search fails to find any music that I want that is not available via Rhapsody.

                          But as someone else has already pointed out, the main appeal would likely be for someone who already has Amazon Prime, but does not have Rhapsody, Spotify, or the like.

                          Speaking of Rhapsody, is it still working on Squeezeboxes? I'm thinking of re-subscribing now that MOG is dead. The Rhapsody pages note compatibility with the Logitech UE Radio, but nothing re Logitech Squeezebox. I wasn't sure if that was because of incompatibility, or because it's a discontinued line so they don't bother to cross-brand.

                            Rhapsody is still working fine with my Touch and Radio (the "regular" Radio, not UE).

                              Amazon's audio quality stinks.

                              It is worse then Spotify,Itunes Radio,Pandora ,etc.
