The post provides useful information about Amazon Music HD's pricing change, but it lacks detail on the implications or how it compares to other services. Overall, it is relevant and mostly clear.

Just received an email from them to say they're no longer charging for the HD element, which I think is currently a fiver so youll get full HD with a standard subscription. I get that Amazon aren't that popular on here but that's over 70 million songs in HD or UHD and imo the difference is noticeable for you audiophiles.

Excellent! If there is one thing I have missed during these lockdowns, it is tedious music bores telling me how they can really hear the (absolutely inconsequential) differences between digital music and their precious vinyl.

I'm so glad Amazon have taken this step to futureproof this particular form of smugness and to bring it to the masses.

Got the same message. Did not know HDmusic was even a thing.

Always been a range of quality ever since MP3 was created. The amount of data per second that you encoded did make a difference.

Then they created lossless codecs that kepts the original quality but still reduced the overall size. This is, what I expect, is what they're calling "HD" audio
