If there is a skill for Apple Music that is definitely a huge bonus and I'm really surprised Amazon is doing this because this. I recently signed up for the free Amazon Unlimited trial and was seriously thinking of keeping it because of how well it works with my Sonos system, but my wife and I have an Apple Music family membership and I certainly won't keep the Amazon Unlimited subscription if I can use Alexa to play from my Apple Music subscription. I am curious how this may work with family memberships where my wife and I both use Apple Music with our own Apple Id's.
I also read recently that you can now or very shortly will be able to add a Skype skill and use Alexa to make Skype calls.
Regards,
Sieghard

I have tried both Apple Music as well as the unlimited Amazon Music
subscription. They are both good, but I went with the unlimited Amazon
Music because it seems that a few of the artist that I like to listen to
was not available on Apple Music, but was available on Amazon Music. I
can not speak to how accessible it is to purchase music from Amazon Music
because I do not really buy music anymore. I just listen to what I want
through my subscription.

I don't have either Amazon music or Apple Music at this time but have
thought about subscribing to one but not both. Because I am a Prime
member, Amazon is less expensive but I have found that purchasing
music from them is really difficult these days and for that reason I
am more reluctant to use them. So, having said all that, do people
overall have any preference between these services?

I believe that the article says that you will link your Apple Music
account
with your Alexa service.
Those with Sonos and Alexa have Apple Music linked with Sonos.

This will be a permanent feature. Now the specific details are still
not
clear. I am not sure if it will just be a subscription service like
Spotify, or you will also be able to play your own personal music and
the
free stations offered by Apple Music. Now I would assume that if you
are
already an Apple Music subscriber, then you should be fine and be able
to
access it without a problem.

I just received this email concerning Apple Music on the Amazon Alexa
device. I am wondering if this is going to be permanent, or just for
a
short period. I am an able subscriber, and have an apple account as I
am
an iPhone 7 Plus user. Also, is this a free feature, or is there a
monthly subscription fee.
Thanks folks!

Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December
17th
Friday, November 30, 2018
Highlighting growing cooperation between the two companies, Amazon
has
announced that Apple Music is coming to Amazon Echo smart speakers
Music has always been one of Alexa’s most popular features and today
we’re excited to announce that Apple Music will be available on Echo
devices beginning the week of December 17.
Apple Music subscribers will be able to enjoy Apple Music’s 50
million
songs on Echo devices. Customers will be able to ask Alexa to play
their
favorite songs, artists, and albums—or any of the playlists made by
Apple
Music’s editors from around the world, covering many activities and
moods. Customers will also be able to ask Alexa to stream expert-made
radio stations centered on popular genres like Hip-Hop, decades like
the
80s, and even music from around the world, like K-Pop. Just ask Alexa
to
play Beats 1 to hear Apple Music’s global livestream including
in-depth
artist interviews— all completely ad-free. Simply enable the Apple
Music
skill in the Alexa app and link your account to start listening.
“Music is one of the most popular features on Alexa—since we launched
Alexa four years ago, customers are listening to more music in their
homes than ever before,” said Dave Limp, senior vice president,
Amazon
Devices. “We are committed to offering great music providers to our
customers and since launching the Music Skill API to developers just
last
month, we’ve expanded the music selection on Alexa to include even
more
top tier services. We’re thrilled to bring Apple Music – one of the
most
popular music services in the US – to Echo customers this holiday.”
Customers tell us that the simplicity and ease of asking Alexa for
the
content they want to hear has brought more music into their homes.
Customers ask Alexa to play all kinds of music in many different
languages. They stream tens of millions of hours of radio per month
and
have set tens of millions of music alarms since the feature launched
less
than a year ago.
Fun fact: Top country is the most requested music to wake up to.
We’re excited to bring Apple Music to our Alexa customers this
holiday
season.
