After much speculation, Amazon has debuted its own streaming service, Prime Music. It’s part of the retailer’s $99-a-year Prime membership._  by [Olivia B.

Waxman Staff Writer Jul 16, 2015 9:30 PM UTC A man from Egypt is showing off a new, cool twist on an instrument that many American children may have remembered playing in grade school. In this viral video, 22-year-old aspiring professional musician Medhat Mamdouh, who lives in Cairo, appears to beatbox and play the recorder at the same time. On his Facebook page, he says he taught himself how to play at 14 and went on to be a semifinalist on _Arabs Got Talent._ The feat is similar to that of another musician, who appears to beatbox while playing the flute in a [viral video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ZX5qdIEB0) that has racked up more than 29 million YouTube views. ### See Art Kane’s Most Memorable Music Portraits  The Who, 1968. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Jefferson Airplane, 1968. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Bob Dylan, 1966. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Country Joe and The Fish, 1968. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Janis Joplin, 1968. courtesy Art Kane Archive  The Rolling Stones, 1966. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Jim Morrison, 1968. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Louis Armstrong, 1958. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Harlem, 1958. courtesy Art Kane Archive  Photographer Art Kane at Keith Moon's drum set, 1968. courtesy Art Kane Archive ## Transcript [00:00] Amazon customers willing to shell out $ 99 a year for [00:03] the retailer's Prime membership just got another perk. [00:06] [ MUSIC ] Building a music collection can be hard, at [00:09] Amazon, we've done the heavy lifting for you, with over [00:12] a million songs available instantly. For free for Prime [00:16] members. Yes, Amazon is getting in on the streaming [00:19] music game. Prime music users can get [00:21] recommendations, create their own playlists from the [00:24] library, and access hundreds of preprogrammed [00:27] playlists. With names like Me Time, Introspective Indie, [00:30] and the 50 greatest pop songs of the 2000s. The [00:34] launch seems to be a direct hit at music streaming [00:37] giant Spotify. The apps look pretty similar. And just [00:40] like Spotify, Prime users can play music they [00:43] pre- download for offline playback. Prime will also [00:46] compete with now Apple- owned Beats Music. The big [00:49] difference between Prime and Spotify and Beats is that [00:51] the two established services have a tens of millions of [00:55] songs versus Amazon's one million. Still, Amazon's [00:58] service boasts big names, like Justin Timberlake and [01:01] Madonna. So, a lot of the mainstream artists are there [01:04] but, most of the music is at least six months old. And, [01:08] one major label isn't participating yet, Universal Music. [01:11] That means no Kanye West, and no Jay Z. But, Fortune [01:15] notes, this is just a jumping off point. Amazon started [01:18] both it's Kindle Lending Library and Prime Instant [01:20] Video with an anemic number of choices, that has [01:23] since changed. The Kindle Lending Library has swelled [01:26] to 500, 000 titles, and Prime Instant Video claims well [01:30] over 40, 000 movies and shows. In recent months, [01:33] Prime Instant Video, in particular, has transformed [01:36] from an underwhelming to a solid service that is [01:39] challenging Netflix. Still Prime Music is lacking a radio [01:42] feature like Pandora and iTunes. So there's no [01:44] randomized music content, but it is commercial free. [01:48] The service is compatible with both Android and iOS [01:51] devices. All you have to do is update or download the [01:54] Amazon music app and if you're skeptical, Amazon is [01:56] giving non- Prime members 30 days to test out the [01:59] new service.
