Amazon says it’s also capable of playing songs at 192 kHz, the songs I found are mostly at 96 kHZ.
Looking at the information listed on a song by Brushland, Amazon says the track quality is 24-bit and 96kHz which is higher than the same song streaming on another service.Īccording to Amazon, standard definition audio has bitrates of up to 320 kilobytes per second while songs in the new Ultra HD is lossless and is up to 3730 kbps, or 10 times the bitrate of other streaming services. Prime Music Ultra HD can be seen and browsed when you open the Amazon Prime Music app on a smartphone or device and songs in Ultra HD are identified with a yellow “HD Audio” icon. Launched just last week the new service costs more per month than Prime Music does now, but the music is played at higher bitrates which, according to Amazon, sounds like you’re listening to it on a compact disc. If you’re an audiophile who listens to music by streaming it from Apple, Spotify, Pandora or Amazon, there’s good news: Amazon can now stream music in ultra-high definition.
