A music service exclusive to owners of the Amazon Echo at half the price of competitors?
Amazon wants to launch a music subscription service that would be half the cost of rival services and run only on its Echo smart speaker, according to Recode.
The service would offer unlimited, ad-free music for $4 to $5 a month, half what Spotify and Apple Music charge, sources told the site. The internet retail giant would like to launch the service as early as next month but has yet to finalize deals with the major recording labels, sources told the site.

Amazon already offers an Amazon Music service as part of its $99 Amazon Prime annual subscription package, but subscribers have access to a limited catalog of music.

What's that you say? Businesses just want to maximize profit??? That's just crazy talk!
Sorry for the very backhanded way of saying excellent post and well written!
