Prime members music unlimited

Amazon now has music unlimited for $7.99 a month for prime members. Or if you're a prime member you can do $79 a year. I signed up for the $79 a year and it comes with a 30 day free trial.
 
What does this cover beyond what we get now from Prime Music? Would you get a stand alone channel on something like a Roku where you can play all the songs in the Prime library, not just the ones you have bought from Amazon?
 
The "Unlimited" catalog is about 10 times larger than the "Prime" catalog.
 
The question in my mind is whether it supports concurrent streams. If I put an Echo in every room, can my wife and kids stream at the same time? If not, it loses appeal quickly.

It not clear but the help site shows three tiers;

Individual - One account on all of your devices $7.99/mo.
Echo - All the benefits of the individual plan on a single Echo, Dot or Amazon Tap
Family - All of the benefits of the individual plan for up to six family members $14.99/mo

Since they specified a separate "family plan" I'd be willing to bet that the only way to get simultaneous streams would be to subscribe to the Family plan
 
Crap. I was interested, because Google Play Music mainly works on mobile devices and I'm thinking about throwing a Dot in every room. I'm not sure I want to pay $15 twice though. I will have to think about it.
 
So I started the 30 day free trial, but I don't see if it does indeed play on the Roku. I have Amazon music channel on the Roku, which shows all of the music that I have purchased, but nothing else. Searching the web has come up with nothing as well.
 
I'm waiting until I finish some work around the house and then will be experimenting with Alexa with my lighting and Amazon music over Sonos. Hopefully by the beginning of November.

I have that same issue on my fire tv. Works on my phone and PC with no issues, though.

It worked well on my pc when I activated it, and I can't find anything on the web about making other devices work. Guess I'll email Amazon and report back.
 
Looks like they don't support Roku's just yet. Here is their response.

It's be nice if Amazon would publish that somewhere. I've been looking all over the place but haven't been able to find that info.

Thanks for posting.
 
I have subscribed yet but I don't see Amazon Music UNLIMITED as one of the music services available on Sonos.

Only the "normal" Amazon Music app which I use regularly and has always been there.

That's odd cause it doesn't work on my Amazon Fire TV yet.
 
The guy has said he was forwarding my request to the higher ups, so hopefully soon, it will play on all of our devices.
