Music Apps for Android

Music has played a key role in the development of the modern smartphone. How many iPod owners switched to iPhone after its launch because they could transfer songs from iTunes in a decade?

In the same way, millions of people now choose Android products as their mobile devices, and they have many excellent music listening experiences. Whether it’s creating the perfect playlist, trusting a streaming algorithm, or watching a podcast, your Android phone can meet all your audio needs on the go.

LiveOne

LiveOne has gone through several rebrands (previously known as Slacker Radio and LiveXLive), but remains a premium music streaming service. It includes a rich library of 30 million songs and over 600 listening channels and 300 podcasts (including Court Junkie and True Crime All The Time Unsolved).

It’s nice that LiveOne also offers live performances throughout the year that you can order on pay-per-view, which is a relatively unique feature among streaming music services.

People who want a carefully curated music experience will get the most out of LiveOne. Thanks to the excellent structure of Slacker Radio, LiveOne stands out from the many smart DJs and countless carefully selected music channels.

SiriusXM internet Radio

When it comes to radio services, SiriusXM is second to none. It is home to great live performances in a variety of genres including comedy, sports, news and everything Howard Stern is into these days.

SiriusXM also offers unique features that make listening more accessible, including a powerful hour buffer that allows you to rewind streams and unlimited skips for specific conversation channels. It also has an extensive music catalog featuring channels based on decades or genres.

Spotify

Spotify is a streaming music giant that sits at the top despite fierce competition from other services. Simply put, his music catalog of 70 million songs, collaborative playlists, speeches, radio plays, audiobooks, poetry readings and podcasts are too compelling to miss.

While you can’t go wrong with Spotify’s music content, its non-music add-ons really enhance the service. The app is the unofficial home of podcasts as it features over four million shows.

Tidal

Tidal’s biggest strength lies in the superior quality of the music. HiFi plans can push audio up to 1411kbps in lossless FLAC format, and HiFi Plus offers a selection of Master quality tracks at up to 9216kbps. Tidal completes its package with themed playlists and superb music editorials.

If you’re serious about music and have the listening equipment to take advantage of the company’s hi-res audio streams, Tidal should be your first choice.

Amazon Music Unlimited

Amazon is an incredibly popular e-commerce company, so it should come as no surprise to anyone that its music offerings are feature-packed and very popular. With a catalog of over 90 million songs, excellent podcasts, and easy compatibility with Amazon devices, Amazon Music Unlimited is a hearing-worthy player in the music streaming industry.
