Partner Engagement
The Amazon Music Partner Program enables Amazon Music in the home, on the road, and everywhere in-between with easy-to-integrate mechanisms that allow our customers to access their music on devices they already own. This program enables our customers to access Amazon Music services from a wide variety of devices, delivering on Amazon’s goal to enable access everywhere. The program has been available to our partners since March 2015.
Amazon Music works with our partners, guiding them through every step of the integration process. In the first phase, we help Partners scope and prioritize the project. In the second phase, a Solution Architect from the Amazon Music team is assigned to work with the Partner; exploration and gap analysis is performed. In the third phase, the app is built, tested for quality assurance, and put through certification testing. Then the app is launched. After launch, an Amazon Music Solution Architect continues to be available to Partners for any post-launch issues.
Integration/Usage Details
To test the actual app on your big screens, an Amazon Music Solution Architect can provide you with a Demo App URL for feasibility testing.
To identify codecs supported on your big screen device, please use the test bed. Once tested, please work with Amazon Music Solution Architect to fill in gaps as needed.
Certification
The Solution Architect will provide certification self-test cases. The test cases must be executed, and the results submitted to Amazon Music for validation before launch.
