• Then tap the "Add Service" option and select Amazon Music from the list.
• On the page that appears next, choose either "Add Account" or "Create Amazon Account", depending on whether you already have an account or not.
• If you already have an account, log in with your username and password in the next step.
• Back in the SoundTouch app, you will now see the terms and conditions, which you inevitably have to agree to.
• The app will then take you to a website where you can complete the setup of your Amazon account by tapping on "Continue". At the same time, you will be redirected back to the SoundTouch app.
• If you swipe the menu on the left side again, Amazon Music will appear as a new entry. With a tap on this, you get access to your individual playlists, recommendations from Amazon or radio stations.
• From the third quarter of 2017, you can stream Amazon Music to your Bose speaker this way.
