        The reason I like FLAC is for transcoding purposes more than anything. I.e. long term storage is FLAC, and then transcode to any format you like for smartphone storage. Although probably not relevant on Amazon Music because presumably there is DRM.

        virtually undetectable

        Not virtually undetectable, there is no percieveable difference in blind tests.

        Millions of audiophiles that have either not understood confirmation bias or just decided it doesn't apply to them because they have magical ears disagree of course.

        • Cleremy on 04/07/2018 - 10:23

          I agree completely, I think most audiophiles don't bother running blind tests on themselves to confirm their powers of perception.

          That said, I have no idea what bitrate, codec etc. Amazon's stream uses.

      • jettim76 on 04/07/2018 - 11:01

        It does, if you listen to albums that were properly mixed and mastered.

        If all you listen is records that have heavily compressed samples and instruments then I agree with you.

      • Major Mess on 10/07/2018 - 15:32

        Those silly recording studios have now gone to 384kHz mastering now that technology allows it over the previous 192Khz sample rates. What a waste when they could simply be recording 320kb mp3. Seriously, for multitrack recording there are other reason for the high resolution though.
        There is a difference to me and with one particular Emmylou Harris 24bit 96khz album it is more night and day. I have tested the album with half a dozen people who have identified the higher quality version. The music type and original master are obviously going to pay a part in the end result. The difference from 96khz to 192khz and above is probably pushing the reality a bit.

        An analogy to look at is how some people seem fine with the horrid DVB mpeg2 we are now offered compared to 15 years ago, on free to air. Even on SD, once there is a complex picture, with say moving water, it all goes to crap.

    • Thaal Sinestro on 06/07/2018 - 00:30

      If you care about audio, you go for lossless digital music. Analog music (polyvinyl chloride)is for pretnetious hipsters, and doesn't sound better than properly mastered lossles digital (by properly mastered I mean that the dynamic range hasn't been murdered by limiting and compression). Cds have a dynamic range of 96 Db, vinyl only about 50 DB.

      Mp3s are are for people who are indifferent to quality and happy to listen to 'any old noise' while using their cell phones.

      • dm01 on 06/07/2018 - 13:27

        • Major Mess on 06/07/2018 - 01:16

          @reece86: Is it the postage that you see the value. I had a look at their movie/tv selection and apart from The Grand Tour there was not really anything of interest to me. Even if there is for some, considering the limited number wouldn't they be knocked over within maybe even 6 months. Do they rotate movies into the catalogue?

      • AustriaBargain on 04/07/2018 - 01:30

        Da fuq? And I was at a friends place today and I couldn’t stream my amazon prime video from my iPhone or iPad to their chromecast, even though Netflix allows it. I haven’t checked if there is an Apple TV app for amazon prime, but I there isn’t I think I’ll be cancelling it. And why isn’t there a Foxtel Now app for Apple TV. What the hell is going on, I’m trying to give up piracy and give these guys my money but they are making it so hard.

        • garetz on 04/07/2018 - 03:14

          Apples content is currently on netflix so there is no conflicts there, amazon is a direct competitor, so of course apple isnt going to allow amazon prime to work on their products, since they have a deal with netflix.

        • AustriaBargain on 04/07/2018 - 04:18

          What a pain in the ass. I’d leave a laptop plugged into the tv just for prime but it’s already a hdmi jungle. Or is there an amazon tv box just for prime video?

          Holy cow there is a little device for prime video. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01ETRGDV4/ref=ods_ftv_US_redir…

    Why does everyone come up with the same pricing? 11.99 per month. What makes them different from the other streaming services except for the library which I believe is almost the same for everyone except a few albums here and there. Any special features here?

    • greyeye on 04/07/2018 - 11:44
      +1

      most likely $10 USD (or close to $10USD) is what many have been paying for subscription like this.
      remember netflix also started around $9USD/month (now its like $13)
      It is not about how the service is different or unique, but what the market can agree to pay before dropping off to "illegal" or "freemium" services.
      For example, subscription game (per month) has been around $10-15USD/month , Free to play with "season" pass of $10-15/season (fortnite anyone?)

      Another reason why Foxtex is struggling to meet the market agreed subscription with their cable, and came up with Foxtel Now at much lower entry pricing point.

    Sonos will support Amazon music if directed by Alexa (and setup in the Alex App) (New Sonos units that have Alexa built in) but it is not accessible via the sonos app yet in Australia. It is in other parts of the world and will hopefully be here soon. I'm using Alexa to use spotify so that it works with the native Sonos app. Will be good when they sort this out for OZ.

    Pretty good review here https://www.whathifi.com/amazon/music-unlimited/review. They say from a quality perspective Apple Music > Amazon Music > Spotify. It looks like there is no download option for PCs, which rules it out for me.
    All I want in a music service:
    - easy download to PC - Spotify is unfriendly and Deezer has been saying for a year that it will be coming soon
    - High quality - Tidal or Deezer Premium+ equivalent
    - Great discovery, and great playing of my own music. For me I haven't found better than the now defunct Groove
    I'm sure people will disagree with me, especially the last point, but if you have something that I haven't tried that satisfies my requirements I'd like to hear your response.
