Alternative to Amazon music

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I have an echo dot and pay for the basic Amazon music subscription £6.99 a month. I only use it for listening to the radio.

I'm thinking of ditching my subscription and just getting a radio, unless there is an alternative to the Amazon music subscription?

    If you ditch your music sub you can still ask Alexa to play the radio station of your choice. No need for a new radio.

    Just ditch the sub, you can still play the radio through Alexa. You can still play music too, you'll just get adverts or limited skips.

    There's all sorts you can play for less than that, it depends on what sort of music you want to listen to.

    Greatest hits is £3.99 a month to go advert free

    , some stations are completely free with just the odd health advice which are mostly jazz and our local radio is ad free. There are now tons available to free stream.

    Granted I don't use Alexa but play from my tablet which has excellent volume or my phone if out.
