“We are proud to have been approached and chosen by Amazon to be among the first streaming platforms integrated with Amazon Music HD,” said BluOS product manager Andrew Haines. “And we are particularly proud to support the highest resolution UHD service tier, as the Amazon catalog is extensive and gives our audiophile audience a broad selection of the highest quality music available.”
