Amazon has expanded its free Amazon Music tier to more devices. Amazon Music was previously only available for free to customers using Echo devices. However, the ad-supported Amazon Music tier is now also available on the web, Android, iOS, and Fire TV.

The company explains that “Amazon Music customers who do not yet have a Prime membership, or a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited, can now listen to an ad-supported selection of top playlists and thousands of stations for free.”

Playlists available for free (with ads) include All Hits (featuring the biggest songs in the world, Fuego Latino (featuring the week’s hottest Latin tracks), Country Heat (full of country music hits), and Rap Rotation (full of big hip-hop tracks).
