3-Month Trial to Amazon Music Unlimited
Amazon Music Unlimited is a subscription-based music streaming service similar to Spotify and Pandora. You'll have access to nearly 100 million songs completely ad-free. There are thousands of pre-mixed playlists and stations to choose from, but you are completely allowed to pick your own songs and create your own playlists.
In terms of audio quality, just about every song is available in lossless HD. About 10 million songs are also available in lossless UltraHD, which offers better than CD audio (up to 24 bit, 192 kHz) and more than 10 times the bitrate of standard definition streaming services. Amazon is also offering an increasing number of songs that support Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio. Just make sure your audio equipment is up to snuff.
Amazon Music Unlimited works seamlessly on Echo devices and Fire TVs, third-party Alexa smart devices like Sonos, and pretty much any Android smartphone or iPhone through the Amazon Music app.
When Is Black Friday 2024?
The actual date of Black Friday in 2024 falls on November 29, but the holiday deals season starts a lot earlier than that. Plenty of retailers have already been dropping deals online. (This usually starts in the last week of October, just before Halloween.) More and more deals will roll out leading up to the event, which culminates in massive discounts on Black Friday. Retailers will not reveal their biggest deals until the big day, but many deals will be available well in advance.
