Yes, Prime Music is included in Prime.  You can also upgrade to Prime Music Unlimited if you choose to.  Which I did not do.  If you go to the Amazon site, Prime benefits are explained also Amazon has an excellent customer service department.

I have not even broken the ice as far as using Prime.

I went on a determined  “bra binge” and tried practically every single one out there in my size after my fav style was discontinued.

A good many of those tries resulted in my needing to return. Never a problem.

TV series: “Goliath” (watching now); “Homeland” (hoping for another season) and watched a few others “Jack Ryan.”

Thanks. I decided to get the Prime memebership for a year. I did just download a free Weight Watchers book also.

I am sure I will enjoy it and take advantage of things I wasn’t aware of also.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is it easy to cancel if you find you aren't using it as much as you might have thought you would?

I love Prime! Ive had it for a few years and love it for buying heavy items which would cost a fortune to ship or are so heavy to buy at the store. I'm 70, hubby is 86 and we both shop with Prime. Music is included which I enjoy very much. We have Alexa and I like the freedom to ask her, Alexa, play some 'soft' Christmas music. Or Alexa, play some Bing Crosby or whoever.  If we have guests for dinner, Alexa, play some dinner music.

Just very cool.

We watch Amazon shows on our TV and they have some really good shows.

Did so much of my Christmas shopping with Prime. Saved running all over the place and returns are free and very easy. I have UPS pick up at my house. Amazing!

That's why I shop less and less at QVC. I hate their shipping prices. I have not bought many things because when you add the shipping it is not a good price.

But the biggest thrill is buying heavy items, like a bench my husband just ordered, and know it will be delivered to the door. I order my garden fertilizer and potting soils, many other garden items which are so heavy.

I feel it is worth the $99.00 a year as I know I spend more than that in shipping alone.

@Ceci That was a great review Thanks. I will order my Prime subscription in a few days as mine runs out February 3rd.

Never thought about the heavy items and shipping.

I've only had Prime since around October 2018.....I have to say, I LOVE IT! and don't know why it took me so long to join in on the fun....I have made a few purchases and they finally wore me down with the emails regarding unlimited music (3 mths free, then it's $7.99)....I really wish a lot of things were included in the price of Prime and not extra (ie., unlimited music, audio, all tv shows/movies)....the best purchase was the Echo Dot 3rd Gen (Alexa is my bestie now) and I can't wait to get the Echo Auto so I can have Alexa in the car and listen to my music....I say keep it and utilize everything that is offered.

we are going into our third year of amazon prime.

if we did not get a  student discount i probably would NOT purchase it.

i rarely listen to the music and i generally dont watch a lot of things they have to offer.....we have cable, netflix, and hulu for that.

so many items that are supposed to arrive in one or  two days dont......and we have an amazon warehouse close by. i guess i dont order the "right things."

my daughter has been using it for grocery delivery, which is more for convenience. she doesnt really see any savings.

I'd never give up my Prime membership.  It probably saves me the cost just in gasoline and time running around from store to store.  

I make some large purchases.  But, I also make very frequent small purchases....grocery items, deodorant, toothpaste, quilting thread, DVD's, toys for the grandkids, etc.

I also borrow my digital library books, from our local library, through Amazon and their Kindle app.

When I think of something I need, I check Amazon.  If they have it at a reasonable price, and it means I don't have to run an errand, I order it.

We've had Prime for many years and don't use the music at all. 

We use mostly for free shipping and TV shows. Many of the Prime Originals are excellent. What I really love though is the free two day delivery, sometimes even same day. When I decide I want something, I want it now!

If you have a Kindle Fire tablet or Kindle reader you do need an Amazon account to download ebooks or audiobooks from the public linrary but you do not need Prime. As a matter of fact you do not need to even have a credit card attached to your Amazon account. My 92 year old mother is in a nursing home and she has an AMazon account and a library card, but we can't risk having her buy stuff so there is no CC on her account.

Of course if you want to BUY a book you'll need a credit card. 

With Prime you do get to select one free book per month from a group of books of their choosing but mostly I have not found them to be very good. Most months I do not even choose one.
