For the moment, I'm considering using WaveInput to make this available
to my points of playback. 

No integration of control, but that may never happen unless the offer a
publicly available API.

I have given this a trial and have to say the quality of the music is
excellent . Once you find the little widget that switches on the quality
information you can see the standard the track is recorded at the
standard your equipment can cope with and the quality of what is
actually playing . The price is at least reasonable and having compred
the CD quality tracks to my own CD Quality Flac rips of the same track I
have been unable to hear any noticable difference in any of them . 

Only real issue that is likely to make me cancel at the end of the trial
is the fact that you can not get an APP/Plugin that will work with LMS
so that i can stream the music to all my systems rather than just to a
single one with a Fire TV box as the source as currently . 

I would love Amazon to take this seriously and increase the appeal of
this to all those with current network systems or even if someone (much
brighter than I am) could develop a plug in but it does not look like
this will happen any time soon so will just have to enjoy for the 90
days.

I gave it a (free) try this morning. I was a little bit confused
initially by the term HD Music, which is Amazon's definition of CD
Quality 16 bit/44.1kHz resolution. It's a generous 90 day free trial but
I've already cancelled mine as I already have everything it offers.

Too bad they use a closed, proprietary API, and also use erroneous and
misleading advertising pics (borrowed from Sony).
