Thanks Bill,
Just what I needed, another choice of places to get music. I have Prime, but I'll probably use that about as much as I use their movie streaming service, and that is not to often. We sure like Amazon Prime though for the quick & free shipping.

I've used the video service through my Xbox One, PS3, & PS4 because it streams in 1080p unlike my AppleTV 2 (original)

The biggest benefit is when I search on Sonos, I get responses there-- although it's not different- so far. I want to find 7" promo's, special releases, EPs etc..

Is Netflix 1080P Bill? I only recently got an appletv and wasn't to impressed with Netflix's picture. The best movie I got was a pay one from appletv, the picture and sound was pretty amazing. I haven't tried Amazon movies on my appletv, I don't even recall seeing the app.

Yes, they launched this last year, but unfortunately they use variable bit rate with a max of 256kbps so far. They describe it as "high-quality 256 kbps .mp3 files using variable bitrate encoding from Amazon's Digital Music catalog."

Thanks for keeping Amazon honest, no such thing a free lunch.
