- Argument‹2 of 2
Amazon Prime is the best music streaming service because of its Special editor-curated playlists
Amazon has employed music experts to curate brilliant playlists for their audience. This is a great perk of Amazon Prime music.
The argument
Amazon Prime Music offers a wide range of playlists specially created by their music editors. Music editors bring together a wide range of music into unique and exiting playlists for the platform's users. Alexa, Amazon's voice control assistant, can also be summoned to recommend songs based on listening history and habits. It has over 2000 playlists which can be saved, and the paid Amazon Unlimited service creates personalised music stations. Providing its users with curated playlists sets Amazon Prime Music far ahead in the competition.
Premises
Counter-arguments
Amazon is not unique in hiring music experts to create custom playlists. It's main competition, Spotify and Apple Music, both offer the same service. Amazon's custom playlists does not set them apart from other services.
Rejecting the premises
[Rejecting P1] Curation and personalisation are the industry standard rather than a differentiator, so the criterion cannot single out any one platform. [Rejecting P2] The specific features named are matched elsewhere — Spotify and Apple Music both employ editorial teams and generate personalised stations — while Alexa integration belongs to the hardware ecosystem rather than to the music service, and the catalogue included with Prime is substantially smaller than the competitors' full libraries. [Rejecting C] "Best" would require comparison across catalogue size, audio quality, price and discovery, none of which the argument attempts.
