There is a slight benefit to those who use Echo devices. The devices will automatically search up the Amazon Music App and pick up your audio from where you left off no matter which platform you used when you last listened.

It is a known fact that Spotify is renowned for its wide variety of podcasts. Obviously, this strikes a heated competition between Amazon Music and Spotify.

Right now, the most widespread music streaming platform is Apple Music. And it does not have the podcasts option in it yet. Apple Music and Apple Podcasts stayisolated from each other. Still other platforms combine both of them to turn the app in to an all-in-one application.

The company also collaborated with Twitch to bring-in the live streaming feature into the application. It is also reported that Amazon Music shall sell commercials for its shows.

This upgrade shall be available in the U.S, U.K, Japan and Germany starting from today! It is available to all the tiers of users at no additional cost
