Amazon is close to launching an updated music service.
Recently it became known that Amazon was able to conclude contracts with major recording companies (Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and Warner Music Group.), And this allows Amazon to offer a large number of songs to subscribers at launch. In general, it is not so easy to make agreements with record companies, as evidenced by the experience of other companies, but Amazon succeeded.
Unfortunately, Amazon does not provide official comments, and information about the opening service came from other sources. According to CNET journalists, the service will start work already in June of this year. The service will be an analogue of iTunes from Apple: users, using different devices, will be able to access musical compositions. We have to think that the service will be tied to the Kindle Fire - now Amazon is actively looking for ways to distribute digital content through these devices.
It is worth noting that the company launched its music service in March 2011. Then everything went without signing licensing agreements - but the music could not be bought, users downloaded their songs to the company's servers, and then listened to them using different devices. Thanks to licensing, Amazon can now earn additional revenue through music sales.

Interestingly, access to Amazon's music service will also be available to iPads and iPhones users, thanks to the Kindle app for Apple devices. The service will be available at the beginning only in the USA, and a little later - in Europe.
