Amazon Music going ad-sponsored on iOS, Android, Fire TV

Following up on their release, earlier this year, of an ad-sponsored version of their music streaming service Amazon Music for the Echo and Alexa devices, Amazon has now released free ad-sponsored versions of Amazon Music for iOS, Android and Amazon's own Fire TV devices.
