Amp, Amazon's free app that lets you be your own radio DJ, has entered limited beta in the US.
How to play Amazon Music radio station
According to the announcement, Amazon aims to expand the way people discover music by combining playlist sharing with live radio. Amp users will be able to create shows to share the music they love with their audience, while also acting as a host and DJ for their channel.
“With Amp, you can pick up the microphone and hit the airwaves,” Amp VP John Ciancutti said in the press release. “We’re creating a new version of radio with an infinite number of programs.”
Amazon says the app offers users a library of "tens of millions" of songs for use in their shows, with built-in discovery tools to help potential listeners find shows that suit their tastes. However, Amazon does not explain how an app that is "completely free to use" can offer such a wide range of licensed songs for free.
