Amazon Music
Amazon Music streams music and podcasts, with free listening that does not require a credit card. Prime members get ad-free music and top podcasts, and can shuffle-play artists, albums, or playlists. Amazon Music Unlimited adds on-demand access to 100 million songs and thousands of programmed playlists and stations. Its catalog includes lossless HD and Ultra HD tracks, plus spatial audio including Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio. Unlimited subscribers can download songs or playlists for offline listening, but those downloads are accessible only in the Amazon Music app; Prime downloads are limited to All-Access Playlists. Alexa voice controls let listeners request music on compatible Alexa-enabled devices, and app casting works to Alexa-enabled devices except Fire TVs. Apps and web access are listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Unlimited Individual costs $11.99 a month, or $99 a year for Prime members; Family costs $19.99 a month, or $159 a year for Prime members. Free and other paid options are also listed.
myNoise
myNoise is a soundscape service for adjustable nature sounds, ambient music, and noise textures. It supports listening for focus, relaxation, sleep, tinnitus masking, and other purposes. Sliders let listeners shape the mix into a continuous sound environment. The catalog includes natural and synthetic noises, landscapes, ambiences, music, experimental sounds, and other categories. The website is ad-free, with free access supported by voluntary donations, and free visitors see a curated selection on the main page. Website patron access adds advanced generator controls, guided meditations, community creations, favorites, cloud-synced settings, and MP3 downloads. Free iOS and Android apps provide selected soundscapes; a single payment unlocks each app’s full catalog, with offline listening available. Website donations and mobile purchases are separate. The maker says nature recordings come from field work and musical soundscapes are performed by musicians, without AI audio. Website generators are for personal or private use unless separately licensed. Access is listed for web, iOS, Android, and macOS. A browser compatible with Web Audio API is required.
