Get Amazon Music Unlimited Free for Three Months
When it comes to free trials of streaming services, you have a lot of options–if you’re streaming video, that is. Those of us looking to stream music have a slimmer selection. You can always get a free month of Spotify or Tidal, assuming you haven’t already done their free trials. But the best free music streaming trial by far right now is Amazon Music Unlimited. It gives new subscribers three months of free, unlimited access to a massive library of tunes.
You can cancel any time, including before your first bill arrives, meaning you won’t have to spend a cent. If you haven’t tried Amazon Music Unlimited yet and could use some music in your life, there’s no reason not to give it a shot.

Essentially, Amazon Music Unlimited is the online retailer’s answer to Spotify. It gets you unlimited ad-free access to virtually any song on the planet. You can stream or download the music on your phone or tablet. If you have an Echo device, you can call up any song, album, station, or playlist just by asking Alexa.
If you choose to keep your subscription once the free trial runs out, it costs the same as the competition: $9.99 per month for a single subscription or $14.99 for a family membership that lets you listen on different devices simultaneously. The one exception is if you have Prime.
Amazon Prime members get a special discount, making the service cost $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. As usual with these kinds of things, paying annually costs less than a year’s worth of monthly payments, so do that if you can afford it. In any case, starting the free trial is a no-risk proposition.
If you’re not eligible for the Amazon Music Unlimited free trial, there’s one other great music streaming deal available right now: You can get four months of Tidal for just $4.

Lego Lord Of The Rings Games Return To Steam
The Lego video games based on The Lord of the Rings have returned to Steam. Reddit user knightpowell noticed that both Lego: The Lord of the Rings (2012) and Lego: The Hobbit (2014) are now available to buy once more on PC through Steam.
The games were removed from Steam (as well as PS3 and Xbox 360) in January 2019, with no explanation as to why. These titles seemingly require numerous licenses, from the films, Lego toys, and other rights-holders, so they might have been removed due to a licensing issue.
Other Lord of the Rings games, including Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, were never removed. It’s not immediately clear if Lego: The Lord of the Rings and Lego: The Hobbit have been reinstated on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The Difference Between HBO Max, HBO Go, And HBO Now
WarnerMedia is gearing up for the release of HBO Max on May 27, adding a third content-streaming option to a stable that already includes HBO Go and HBO Now. Current HBO Now subscribers may be wondering how Max will differ to the service they already use.
