If you’re an Amazon Music Unlimited Individual plan subscriber or the primary account holder on an Amazon Music Unlimited Family plan, you can listen to 1 audiobook a month as part of your subscription.

If you’re an Audible member, your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription won’t impact your existing Audible benefits. You'll continue to receive your current Audible benefits even if you cancel your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.

Note:

• The Audible audiobook benefit is only available for Amazon Music Unlimited Individual plans or for the primary account holder of the Amazon Music Unlimited Family plan.
• You can listen to your audiobook on the Audible or Amazon Music app, but you can only replace it with a new one in the Amazon Music app when your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription renews or on your initial subscription start date each month for annual Amazon Music Unlimited plans.

What is the difference between my Audible membership and Amazon Music Unlimited?

Audible subscriptions provide access to an unmatched selection of audiobooks, podcasts and Originals. With Audible Premium, you can use credits to buy any title from our entire collection, building your own digital library. Your unused Audible credits will rollover for up to a year. You can also keep any audiobooks you buy with a credit, even if you cancel. Members also get access to exclusive deals and discounts and unlimited listening to thousands of included titles in the Plus Catalog.

Amazon Music Unlimited is a standalone audio streaming service that includes unlimited listening to 100 million songs and millions of podcasts. Subscribers to the Amazon Music Unlimited Individual or Family plan (account holders only) can listen to 1 audiobook each month from the Audible catalog. You can only listen to one audiobook at a time, and selecting a new book will replace your current title. Unlike with audiobooks you buy with Audible credits, if you cancel your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, you will lose access to your audiobook selection. Lastly, the ability to select an audiobook each month does not accumulate if unused - you'll have a fresh opportunity to choose a new audiobook each month.

How do I listen to a new audiobook on Amazon Music Unlimited?

You can replace your audiobook for a new one each month in the Amazon Music app when your monthly Amazon Music Unlimited subscription renews or on your initial subscription start date each month for annual Amazon Music Unlimited plans. You can also choose to keep listening to the audiobook you already have instead of replacing it. You can learn more about when your audiobook benefit renews on the Amazon Music Help Center.

To replace your audiobook,

1. In the Amazon Music app, select Audible in the top navigation.
2. Find the audiobook you want to listen to.
3. On the audiobook’s detail page, select Select audiobook.
4. Select Confirm.

Notes:

• When you replace an audiobook, you’ll no longer have access to your previous audiobook.
• You can’t use your Audible credits in the Amazon Music app.
• You can only use Audible credits to buy audiobooks in the Audible app, on the Audible site, or on Amazon.

How do I listen to my audiobook with Amazon Music Unlimited?

You can locate your Audible audiobook selection in your Amazon Music library and select Play.

Once you’ve selected an audiobook in the Amazon Music app, it’ll also get added to your Audible Library and you can listen to it on Audible anytime as long as you’re an Amazon Music Unlimited subscriber. When listening on Audible, you can enjoy the timer, bookmark your spot, or change your narration speed settings.

Are my Audible app settings the same in the Amazon Music app?

When you change your Audible settings to hide erotic content, this will filter those results and listening recommendations from your Amazon Music searches too.

Otherwise, your audiobook player and Library preferences for Audible are unique to the Audible site and app.

Do I need an Audible membership to listen to audiobooks on Amazon Music Unlimited?

No, you don't need a separate Audible membership to access this benefit through your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. As an Amazon Music Unlimited subscriber, you can also listen to your Audible audiobook in the Audible app without an Audible membership.

If you do choose to listen in the Audible app, you’ll be able to enjoy clips and bookmarks, set your narration speed, and other helpful features for your audiobook specific needs.

What happens to my audiobook if I cancel my Amazon Music Unlimited subscription?

You can listen to your Audible audiobook as long as you’re subscribed to Amazon Music Unlimited. If you pause or cancel your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, you'll lose access to your selected audiobook at the end of your current billing cycle. It will no longer appear in your Amazon Music or Audible libraries.

Can I access all of my Audible audiobooks on Amazon Music Unlimited?

No, you can only access the audiobook you've selected each month with your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription in the Amazon Music app. Other Audible audiobooks you've purchased separately or have access to with Audible membership are only available in the Audible app or on the Audible site.

Note: If an audiobook is included with your Kindle Unlimited or Audible membership, you can select “Go to Audible” from the Amazon Music audiobook page to access it.

Can I switch between reading on Kindle and listening to my audiobook on Amazon Music Unlimited?

Yes, as an Amazon Music Unlimited subscriber, you can listen to your audiobook each month on your Kindle app while you’re reading, or you can seamlessly switch between reading on the Kindle app and listening in the Amazon Music or Audible apps.

Your playback syncs across surfaces so you can easily pick up where you left off.
