Bookworms and music lovers can now get the most out of Amazon Music with a new deal from the listening platform.

Audible is now available as part of Amazon Music Unlimited — and subscribers in the U.S., U.K. and Canada can listen to one free audiobook per month on top of over 100 million songs and top podcasts without ads, and in HD, immersive Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos sound quality. Even better: New subscribers of the Amazon Music Unlimited Individual Plan can try the streaming platform for free for their first three months. After that, the subscription auto-renews at $9.99 per month for Amazon Prime members or $10.99 monthly for non-members.

Amazon Music Unlimited’s library offers the full catalogs of top artists across every genre, including Taylor Swift, BTS, Bruno Mars, Drake, Lil Wayne, Morgan Wallen, Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll and many, many others. Listeners also get access to curated playlists and soundtracks, such as the Wicked original Broadway cast recording, holiday mixes and more.

For podcast lovers, expect popular Wondery series including SmartLess (co-hosted by stars Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett), RedHanded and MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries; The New York Times‘ The Daily; NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me and NPR News Now; and news shows such as CBS News’ 48 Hours, ABC News’ 20/20, NBC News’ Dateline NBC and many others.

As for Audible, subscribers can choose one free audiobook of any length per month from the service’s catalog of over one million titles, including celebrity-narrated books, memoirs and much more. If you want to listen to more than one title during that billing cycle, additional audiobooks are available to purchase separately. In late 2025, Audible will launch a new co-production of Harry Potter stories with “a full range of over 100 character voices and real-world sound capture.”

If you prefer to subscribe to Audible separately, the Premium Plus Plan is $14.95 monthly and includes one credit per month to use on any premium audiobook. (The Amazon-owned company is also offering its own deal of 99 cents per month for the first three months, plus a $20 credit for new subscribers.)

Amazon Prime is $14.99 per month (or $139 annually) and includes access to Prime Video; free same-, one- and two-day shipping; exclusive deals and sales (such as Prime Day); discounts at Whole Foods Market and Amazon Fresh groceries; free seven-day Try Before You Buy on clothing; and more perks.
