This only recently started happening and it’s really disappointing, Idk if this is just my app or my phone but I’m rlly d
  19. [R59] Amazon Music 3/5 · US Paywalls: I got this for music. I don’t really care about the no replay and stuff, but I hate how some songs are also stuck behind the paywall. Please stop it. Inhibiting replay and rewind, sure, couldn’t care less. But I want my songs, all of them. Not just the less popular ones you don’t need to squeeze money out of.
  20. [R96] Amazon Music 1/5 · US Wtf: Why do I have Amazon prime wich it says comes with prime video and prime music and prime shipping. Why is this app keep asken me to upgrade to listen to what I want?
  21. [R101] Amazon Music 3/5 · GB Too many adverts: Would be the best platform if it were not for the adverts. I don’t see why we should have to pay to have no adverts when already paying for Amazon prime membership etc etc

I did premium for 3 months & quit because it just kept playing the same songs over & over. Much like FM radio. Did not matter if I liked different songs or bands or genres- just the same songs. Amazon did nothing to help or fix it. Just like it took away 60% of physical albums that I paid for that came
