Searching for threads isn't that hard, any person with a decent IQ can figure it out 
His thread was on the main page. How hard is it to scroll down with your eyes and see if anyone else has posted about it?!

* sigh * I had no idea the other thread was about Amazon. But I knew this one was.
The important question: How is their film score catalog?

The soundtracks selection features most of the usual public-domain / rerecording suspects, but some of the OST highlights in there include:
- Oblivion (M83, Trapanese)
- Inception (Zimmer et al)
- Game of Thrones - Season 3 (Djawadi)
- Shocker (Goldstein)
- L'Ultimo Treno Della Notte (Morricone)
- Skyfall (Newman)
- Cloud Atlas (Tykwer et al)
- all 3 extended-edition LOTR scores (Shore)
- Doubt (Shore)
- Cosmopolis (Shore)
- Hugo (Shore)
- all 6 Star Wars scores (Williams)
- The Fountain (Mansell)
- The Princess Bride (Knopfler)
- a few Star Trek TV series OSTs (TOS and TNG)
- The Natural (Newman)
- Lincoln (Williams)
- The Pacific (Zimmer, Zanelli, Neely)
- Forrest Gump (Silvestri)
- Gettysburg (Edelman)
- Quigley Down Under (Poledouris)
- Titanic (Horner)
- Legends of the Fall (Horner)
- Home Alone (Williams)
- Supernatural Seasons 1-5 (Gruska, Lennertz)
- World War Z (Beltrami)
- Warm Bodies (Beltrami)
There's also a handful of those greymarket digital releases of things like "Lilies of the Field", "High Society", etc.
Interestingly, you can't download the titles on your PC, but you can download them through the app on your tablet/smartphone (at least, you can at the moment). If you're a Prime member you're basically being given free music by the hundreds.

Keep the list of interesting titles going, everyone! If you find good stuff that's on there share the info...I'm a Prime member and I've been loving it over all. Better than Netflix for streaming, and the free 2 day shipping is really handy. Haven't used the Kindle section because I have a Nook (they're better).

I have been a happy member of Amazon Prime for a decade. But nothing about it is FREE. This is a fine value added benefit, and I'll use it, but it still costs $100 a year. I know Amazon would just as soon I forget that and let me think they've given me something for nothing, but that's not going to happen.

Now THAT'S the question. I have no idea I haven't looked into. Either way I'm glad James and the other poster mentioned this topic as I didn't know this so THANK YOU to James and the other poster
There's not an awful lot at the moment - at least nothing as robust as the other streaming services. A weird smattering, kind of, with specific albums in series available while others are not. For instance:
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (OST)
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Complete Recordings)
But none of the others in those series.
Off the top of my head, I remember also seeing:
Star Wars: Special Edition
The Empire Strikes Back: Special Edition
Return of the Jedi: Special Edition
Star Wars Episode III
Superman: The Movie (Rhino)
Inception
X-Men First Class
Cloud Atlas
Game of Thrones Season 3
Divergent
Lord of the Rings trilogy (Silva)
Star Wars trilogy (Skywalker Symphony Orchestra)
Okay, now I'm going through the Soundtracks genre - here's a fuller list
Batman: Arkham City
Cosmopolis
Doubt
Forrest Gump
Halloween (OST, not expansion)
Hell on Wheels season 1
Hide and Seek
Home Alone
Hugo
Law Abiding Citizen
Lawless
L'Ultimo Treno Della Notte (Morricone)
La Donna Della Domenica (Morricone)
Legend of the Guardians: Owls of Gahoole
Legends of the Fall
Lincoln
Mass Effect 3
Medal of Honor (Djwadi)
Music from the Twilight Saga (Silva)
NCIS the Score
Only God Forgives
Pan's Labyrinth
Resident Evil Retribution
Rocky IV
Salmon Fising in the Yemen
Skyfall
Smallville
Splinter
Spy Kids IV
Star Trek Generations OST
Star Trek Original Series and Sound Effects
Star Trek TNG Vol 2 Best of Both Worlds
Star Trek vol 1 The Cage and Where No Man Has...
Star Trek vol 2 Doomsday Machine and aMOK Time
Supernatural S1-5 score
The Fountain
The Girl w/ The Dragon Tattoo (US)
The Grey
The Hours
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
The Last of Us
The Mortal Instruments City of Bones
Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collectors Edition -(inc all Special Editions plus the 1-disc "Correllian Edition")
The Natural
The Pacific
The Princess Bride
The Resurrected
The Rocky Story
Titanic Collector's Edition (recent 4-disc release)
Transformers Prime
Transformers the Movie (80s)
Transylvania 6-5000
Troll
Warm Bodies
There's some other stuff that may be scores, but I'd heard of neither the composer nor the film
There are
Quite a few rerecordings of various tracks (some Silva, some BSX), some "trailer music" music library stuff
And a lot of musicals, pop soundtracks, etc.
I'm sure more will pop up when they secure more rights. As for me, I buy when I want to hear something so this will be part of my Prime membership that I do not leverage.

I've been an Amazon Prime member for a year -- but haven't yet decided to renew. What drives me crazy, for video streaming at least, is that I will a put a bunch of Prime titles in my watchlist -- and then start to watch a series, like American Chopper, only to find that the "Prime" status expires after a month or two and I'd have to pay a rental fee to finish watching a season. This has happened to me with at least 6 series over the past year. It would be great if Amazon would be upfront about the timeline of "Prime" status for the titles in that category so that one could plan a bit better. As I recall Netflix does give you advance notification when titles are about to disappear from their servers. I'm not opposed, in general, to streaming as long as the end product is high quality, dependable, and at least as good (hopefully better!) in specs as physical media. Otherwise the services are, for me at least, just sort of like junk food in which I indulge when a real meal isn't available.
