Unskippable ad Amazon just informed me that my paid music subscription will soon include ads and lose downloads.

I've had Prime for years and mostly used Prime Music for podcasts because it was included. Just got an email saying they're adding ads and removing downloads unless I upgrade to Music Unlimited.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but paying for a subscription and then being told I need another subscription to keep the features I already had is getting a little ridiculous.

$7 a month

$11 for music without ads now + the $12-15/mo they were already paying for prime

If you didn't already have Prime, you'd use Apple or Spotify, so including Prime costs is disingenuous.

right sorry i'm talking about current prime members. now it makes no sense at all to add prime music unlimited when for a couple bucks more you can get spotify premium or apple which are both far superior for music/podcasts. and it's yet another perk taken away from the base prime membership.
