The Echo's rumored dirt-cheap music streaming service would tighten your ties to Amazon

Rumors about Amazon's Spotify and Apple Music competitor are surfacing once again, and from the sounds of it, the service may launch sooner rather than later. Following a report in January from The New York Post, Recode says Amazon will launch a new music streaming service possibly as soon as September--potentially with a very interesting twist. The purported music service will feature two tiers. The first is the standard 10 per month streaming service, with all the millions of tracks that come with said services. The second possibility, however, is what Amazon is probably truly excited about.
