Amazon Music at less than $1
an Amazon Prime Music subscription is being offered for $0.99 for the first four months as a special offer.
After this initial period, subscribers will be charged a sum of $7.99/month. The pricing may seem a little high relatively, but four months of music for a dollar sounds sweet; you may continue if you think it suits your taste.

Caution!
Now, although it’s Amazon Prime day and the company promises to give you the best deals possible, it wouldn’t hurt to double-check with another e-commerce dealer or even a brick and mortar store if you’re planning to buy something expensive before going forward with the order. As is said, better safe than sorry.
