Amazon Music Unlimited is raising the bar for audio entertainment, combining its expansive library of 100 million HD songs and top podcasts with Audible’s unmatched selection of over 800,000 audiobooks in the UK. Subscribers in the UK, US, and Canada can now enjoy one audiobook a month, redefining how listeners consume audio content while on the go.
This new offering cements Amazon Music Unlimited as the ultimate destination for premium audio, blending music, podcasts, and storytelling under one seamless platform. The collaboration introduces Audible’s industry-leading catalogue, which includes timeless classics like 1984, blockbuster originals like Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, and motivational favourites such as David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me. Subscribers also gain access to exclusive productions, including Audible’s highly anticipated Harry Potter full-cast adaptations, set for release in late 2025.
A Thrilling New Chapter for Amazon Music Unlimited
Starting today, individual plan subscribers and family plan primary account holders can stream one audiobook of any length each month as part of their subscription. Listeners can keep enjoying their selected title even after their billing cycle renews or switch to a new one. For those seeking more, Audible memberships or a la carte purchases via the Audible app remain available.
“This collaboration between Amazon Music and Audible brings together two trailblazers in audio streaming, creating an unparalleled selection of entertainment for our customers,” said Steve Boom, Amazon’s VP of Audio, Twitch, and Games. “From HD music to immersive audiobooks, this partnership introduces Audible’s incredible storytelling to a whole new audience.”
Audible CEO Bob Carrigan added, “As the audiobook market continues to grow, this partnership lets us captivate the next generation of listeners while maintaining our commitment to delivering exceptional service to audiobook enthusiasts worldwide.”
Creative Campaign Brings Audio Adventures to Life
To celebrate the partnership, Amazon has launched an ambitious campaign centred around the theme of turning “killing time” into “thrilling time.” Developed with creative agency Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, the campaign showcases how audiobooks, music, and podcasts can transform mundane commutes into extraordinary experiences.
At the heart of the campaign is On The Go, a 30-second noir-inspired film directed by Lance Oppenheim. Set in an airport, the cinematic short reimagines a routine layover as a gripping crime thriller. The film’s dramatic score by Ari Bazoulian amplifies its message: every journey can be an adventure with the right soundtrack.
“We chose an airport as a perfect backdrop to capture the diversity of people who turn to music and audiobooks during travel,” said W+K’s creative team. “It’s about showing how the ordinary becomes extraordinary when paired with the right audio.”
The campaign will feature prominently across social media, streaming platforms, and digital out-of-home displays at major transportation hubs, including New York’s JFK, London’s Heathrow, and Chicago O’Hare.

Amazon Music Unlimited offers Prime members subscriptions at £9.99 per month or £99 per year, while non-Prime customers pay £10.99 per month. For a limited time, new subscribers can access three months for free.
