Amazon HD streaming service ...

As you probably know, Amazon has a HD streaming service, which sends High Quality Audio files, as opposed to their standard service, which I understand is Mpeg3.    Has anyone tried it and if so, any comments? 

We are currently on Spotify Premium with AAC files, since my daughter set it up and had a couple thousand songs on various playlists she moved to our account.   The playlists are great but I would like to get better sound quality and, frankly, since I am a Prime member, it is also $3 less a month.   $3 less and better sound quality, what is not to like?

Also, does anyone have any idea how to transfer the playlists to a new service?   

Thanks,

Robert

Very interesting comments, thank-you all.    Think I will stick with Spotify for now.   

Spotify Premium runs AAC, which they claim has a 320 kbps rate.   Amazon claims true high def at a 12,738 kbps rate.  So, 856 kbps is far below the 12k but higher than 320 kbps.   

Regarding copying playlists - getting banned for moving your playlist over, now that is pretty amazing.
