If you recently picked up some new headphones, now’s the perfect change to get some free, high-quality audio entertainment for the next three months. Amazon currently has a free three-month combo trial of Amazon Music Unlimited and Audible. After the trial ends, you’ll pay $10 every month for Amazon Music Unlimited and $15 per month for Audible. If you’re not interested in paying, be sure to cancel before the trial period is up. This deal ends next Thursday, September 30 just before midnight Pacific time.
Amazon Music Unlimited has a massive library of more than 75 million songs in CD-quality audio, including 7 million tunes in 24-bit high-resolution audio. You even get access to thousands of immersive Dolby Atmos Music tracks, provided you’re listening with compatible gear (such as the Amazon Echo Studio). A subscription also gives you rights to offline listening, unlimited skips, playlists, stations, and podcasts.
Audible, meanwhile, offers a treasure trove of audiobooks, perfect for catching up on the classics, listening to your favorite non-fiction books, or diving into that self-help title everyone is talking about. Audible doesn’t have every audiobook out there, but it has most of the titles that matter.
With Audible you get access to one title of your choice every month. You also get 30 percent off select titles if one book a month isn’t enough, and Audible has podcasts too.
If you already have some Amazon Fire tablets at home, Amazon Music and Audible will integrate seamlessly with those devices. No Fire gear? Just download the respective apps for Android and iOS.
Either way, this dual-subscription trial for three months is an excellent way to keep the tunes (and books) flowing through the end of the year.
