It appears that this expansion of the Amazon Prime music benefit comes with a major drawback: you can no longer play individual tracks, in some cases even if you have purchased them from Amazon. I discovered this trying to play my purchased tracks on my Sonos today. Previously, I could use the Sonos app to create a playlist of Amazon tracks of my choosing. Now I can only play Amazon-curated playlists, or play albums from start to finish. I'm only able to skip a certain amount of tracks in a short period of time.

It appears that Amazon concluded that it should fully adopt Spotify's business model and jettison users who still purchase albums or MP3s for download and self-curation, at least via Sonos. It appears it may still be possible to play individual tracks from Amazon's web-based music player.

Has anyone else experienced this?
