Amazon Music
Leverage Amazon Music Unlimited, Alexa voice requests, HD and Ultra HD audio, and Amazon Music for Artists tools
Tap into Amazon's massive ecosystem of listeners
Amazon Music gives your release access to more than a standalone streaming app. It connects your catalog to Alexa voice requests, Amazon Prime listeners, high-fidelity playback tiers, and artist analytics that can surface how fans actually discover your music.
When you distribute through DIMBER, your music is delivered to Amazon Music automatically. That means you can focus on making the release land well on the platform instead of figuring out separate delivery workflows.
Amazon Music tiers
Amazon Music reaches listeners through several subscription and access tiers. Each tier shapes how fans hear your music, but all of them matter because they expand your surface area inside Amazon's ecosystem.
- Amazon Music Free — ad-supported listening with limited control and a more restricted experience.
- Amazon Music Prime — included with Prime membership, ad-free, but with a more limited catalog and listening model than the full subscription tier.
- Amazon Music Unlimited — full catalog access with on-demand playback.
- Amazon Music HD and Ultra HD — high-fidelity listening options included within Unlimited for listeners who want better audio quality.
DIMBER delivers to all Amazon Music tiers. Your music can appear across the full Amazon Music ecosystem regardless of which listener plan a fan uses.
Alexa and voice requests
Alexa changes how people find music because discovery starts with spoken intent instead of typed search. A fan does not need to browse your profile to hear you. They can say your artist name, ask for a song, or request music that sounds like what they already love.
That makes voice requests more than a novelty. They can become a meaningful stream source, especially when your artist name is easy to pronounce, your song titles are memorable, and your profile metadata is clean enough for Amazon to match requests correctly.
To improve how your music performs in voice-driven discovery:
- Use a clear artist name that is easy to say and difficult to confuse with common phrases.
- Choose memorable song titles that fans can repeat naturally.
- Claim Amazon Music for Artists so Amazon can better connect your identity, catalog, and listener activity.
If fans cannot ask for you clearly, you are harder to discover. On Amazon, naming is strategy.
HD and Ultra HD audio
Amazon Music supports high-resolution playback through its HD and Ultra HD catalog. Ultra HD can support audio up to 24-bit and 192 kHz in FLAC, and Amazon also supports immersive formats such as Dolby Atmos in supported listening environments.
High-resolution availability starts with the files you deliver. If you want the best chance of qualifying for Amazon's higher-quality playback tiers, upload WAV files at 24-bit and 96 kHz or higher when your masters support that quality natively.
DIMBER handles high-resolution delivery as part of the normal release workflow. You do not need a separate Amazon-specific process to send better source files.
High-resolution audio is delivered automatically. Amazon preserves the quality level supported by the files you upload.
Amazon Music for Artists
Amazon Music for Artists gives you direct visibility into how your music performs on the platform. It is where you can claim your profile, review listener and streaming trends, monitor voice request activity, and track signals such as playlist adds and audience behavior.
Claiming your profile early matters because it gives you access to the data that can shape release strategy. Instead of guessing whether Alexa, playlists, or repeat listeners are moving the needle, you can see the patterns and act on them.

Amazon Music playlists
Amazon Music playlists can drive discovery through both editorial selection and platform-driven recommendations. Editorial playlists are curated by Amazon's team, while algorithmic and personalized surfaces react to listener behavior, engagement, and context.
Pitching matters most before release day. Amazon Music for Artists includes a pitching tool that helps you submit upcoming music for playlist consideration, which gives your release a better chance of reaching the right editors and recommendation systems early.
Playlist opportunities can span several categories, including:
- Editorial playlists built around genre, mood, culture, or new releases
- Algorithmic recommendations shaped by listener behavior
- Artist and catalog-based stations that can introduce your songs to adjacent audiences
- Contextual playlists tied to activity, time of day, or listening intent
