Amazon India to add ads, kill offline downloads on Prime Music from July 2026

Amazon is downgrading Prime Music in India, inserting ads and removing offline listening from July 2, 2026, to nudge users toward Music Unlimited at ₹129/month or ₹699/year. The move mirrors a broader retreat from bundled perks as ad-supported audio competition intensifies against Spotify, JioSaavn and others.
