Never knew they did lossless, thanks for the tip-off - might be worth investigating.

I think it's a very recent development, Alex.
I'm listening now, streaming over Airplay to RPi/Katana with Moode and I have to say the sound quality is impressive. I haven't been a great fan of Airplay in the past but this is pretty good. 90 days free trial is generous too.
You need to download the Amazon music player to get the full HD.
Edit: Having just praised the sound it has now turned grainy and unpleasant. Streaming over UPnP, as can be done with Tidal and Qobuz, is more reliable in my experience.
Thanks John - I'm moving house on Friday (and will be without internet for a week or so) but will check it out when I'm back in the 21st century!

Just upgraded to the free trial, was already using unlimited, I also have an unlimited Mobile data plan with fast speeds so well pleased that I can now get HD on the move.

I went to look at this. When I went for the free trial of lossless music it said that it was going to charge £7.99 a month during the free trial period and £12.50 thereafter. I get Amazon Music with prime but do not normally use it. I know I will have missed something obvious but has anyone else had this? Thanks.
