Not tried the app.

I use it most of the time.

The only time you do need to be careful is if you enable single click
buying and do it via the Amazon echo device, as although you do need your
code, often the prime setting is a little vague.

No it isnt with that config.

Indeed its almost as vague as the various subscriptions for music
unlimited. For the record its 3.99 for one device, any ability to share on
other devices, ie have your music playing in other rooms or to get it to
pay from another device is 9.99, then it gets confusing as there is a
family plan which means you can play more than one track on multiple
machines at the same time, plus a high definition stream which costs more
still, then of course there are discounts if you sign up to prime.

Quite why its so complicated eludes me.

Basically to suck you in.

After all streaming your music to more than one device is still only you
listening, so why the price hike?

Basically to suck you in.

I guess there is some marketing drone somewhere working it all out on a
vast payroll.

Yep.

Are you sure, on the web site at least I've never had such an
experience, indeed before check out it will ask you if you want to
continue. Maybe its like that in the app or something.

Its actually the reverse here. I did want the prime free trial
because it was coming from the USA and prime gets you
a cheaper shipping rate and faster. Couldn’t work out how
to sign up for the free prime trial on the app, had to do
that on the browser.

I found a "subscription" charge for £7.99 marked Amazon Prime.
I have never knowingly signed up.

I think it might be one of those almost-concealed bits of wording that
could easily be missed.
Next, you've got a monthly £7.99 charge!

I think this amounts to inertia selling which is illegal under both UK
and EU law.

I am determined to follow thus up.
