Amazon reportedly is gearing up to launch a streaming music service this summer, taking on competitors like Pandora and Spotify. The streaming service would be part of Amazon’s $99 per year Prime service, which offers subscribers free two-day shipping on many items, video streaming and an e-book lending library. The digital music catalog would be limited to songs and albums that are at least six months old, plucked from albums the company is able to license at a discount. All the music would be available to stream on demand.
