>I have to leave the player to find music to listen to?

You don't. cloudplayer.amazon.com -> type in search -> look at right-hand side.

Nope. This is also a disaster. I typed "daft punk" into that box. Daft Punk has four full albums available for prime music. None of those albums are in the search results. Instead I get a "Daft Punk's Top So..." playlist, and "Hot, Sweaty Summ..." playlist, and "Janelle MonĂ¡e and Mo..." playlist.

I can't fault free new music, but this interface feels like it was poorly bolted on to a retail sales website, which is exactly how the web video service has always felt.

Edit: I just realized that 3 of the albums are in the search results. I turns out the right tab is scrollable, and after 15 items, it switches to showing matching albums, which includes 3 of the 4 Daft Punk albums, and also some Macklemore.

I didn't notice this because nothing I was looking for ever actually showed up there (even though it is available through Prime Music).
