Guest Post by **Bobby Owsinski** on [Music 3.0](http://music3point0.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-launch-of-amazon-acoustics-could.html?ref=hypebot.com)While **Apple, Spotify and Google/YouTube** get all the hype when it comes to streaming music these days, **Amazon Prime** is keeping a surprisingly low profile. Everyone who's an Amazon Prime user also gets **Prime Music** as an added benefit, which is frequently overlooked.While it seems that the online retail giant isn't all that interested in the streaming music business, there are signs that it's not ignoring it either. [![61W-b9wme+L._SL500_AA280_PJStripe-Robin,TopLeft,0,0_](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb085e0431970d-150wi "61W-b9wme+L._SL500_AA280_PJStripe-Robin,TopLeft,0,0_")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb085e0431970d-popup?ref=hypebot.com)For instance, it just introduced the **Amazon Acoustics** collection as an exclusive feature for its Prime members. There are 30 recordings available from artists like **Joshua Radin, Surfer Blood, Jessie Baylin** and **Tokyo Police Club** that are available via the **Amazon Music** app on **iOS** and **Android** devices, Amazon's connected **Echo** speaker, or online at the Prime Music website.The company also recently released the Grammy-nominated [*Transparent* soundtrack album](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJU2D0K/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fsp%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00QJU2D0K&linkCode=as2&tag=bobbowsi-20&linkId=6JWA6JNEHCISFIYE&ref=hypebot.com) as well as it's own Christmas album featuring artists like **Liz Phair, The Flaming Lips,** and **Yoko Ono**.Plus it's new **Amazon Studios** arm just beat out **Netflix** to put together a show with the **Top Gear** team to the tune of $250 million.So watch out for Amazon Prime. It's overlooked by many, but it has some muscle to change the dynamics of the streaming music business if it ever chooses to do so.
