Amazon Music
Amazon's DSP across Prime and Unlimited tiers: Alexa voice requests make it disproportionately important for catalog and casual listening.
- Best for
- Alexa-driven casual listeners, disproportionately 30+ households. Prime members, Alexa or Echo households, and listeners who want lossless or spatial audio without a separate audiophile tier.
- Skip if
- Never; it arrives with standard distribution. Your strategy depends on culture-driving social discovery, direct fan interaction, or building an audience outside Amazon and Alexa’s ecosystem. However, most artists should still distribute here.
- First move
- Confirm your metadata is voice-search friendly (clear artist name).
- Reach
- Industry-wide
- When
- Useful from day one.
