Amazon Prime members may soon have access to free music streaming

Online retail giant Amazon is reportedly speaking to major music labels about launching its own streaming music service, according to a Re/code report that cites unnamed industry sources with knowledge of the talks. Amazon currently offers its Prime membership, which costs $79 annually. In return, Prime members get “free” two-day shipping on all items sold by Amazon and its affiliated partners, access to its Kindle library lending program, and unlimited streaming access to a huge collection of movies and TV shows through its Prime Instant Video service.
