Music Subscriptions: $10 credit with new Amazon Music Unlimited Free Trial

Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for its full service “Music Unlimited” music service. But for a limited time, they have a special promotion, enter coupon code MOREMUSIC get a $10 promotional credit added to your account. Essentially you are getting the second month FREE if you sign up for the standard $10/month plan.

I’m not sure what happens if you sign up for a Family plan. The coupon is good for first time subscribers only. This service should not be confused with the “Prime Music” service which is free for Prime members, or the dedicated music service for Echo devices which costs less and is more limited.

Coupon offer ends 5/31/17.

With two days to go in the offer, the XDuoo XD-05 DAC/Amp is fully unlocked for $170 with free shipping (what a luxury) at members-only Massdrop. It ships mid-June 2017. The price is almost similar to buying from random eBay sellers when you factor in shipping, and like those, “all sales final”, so keep that in mind if you like to return things you don’t like instead of selling/trading/keeping/gifting them.
