Music app play-by play
November 19, 2015
These days when your favorite artist releases a new track or album, you don’t have to take a trip to the store to buy a CD album. Now we have many more options when it comes to buying or streaming music, and it can be difficult to decipher which website is the best.
Some of the most popular apps are: Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes Radio. All of these apps are in the app store, downloadable free of charge.
These apps let listeners enjoy their favorite songs and albums for free but are not without limitations.
Each have their upsides and their downfalls. Whether it is the amount of skips you have per hour or day or the variety of music playlists available, all these apps have different offers for music listeners.
A benefit to using these apps is that many music artists use them as a platform to release their brand new singles and albums. In fact, the music group One Direction used Spotify for the release of their newest singles “Home” and “Infinity.”
However Spotify does have a major flaw: some artists choose not to have their music on Spotify at all. Artists such as Taylor Swift admit that creating songs and albums is a lot of hard work and prefer their music be bought through mediums like iTunes.
Unlike music purchased through iTunes or the Google Play, when using the free versions of these music apps you are restricted to already created playlists or algorithm based mixes. However you can purchase a subscription to these various apps, which increases music quality and give you more options as a user.
These days, when it comes to listening to music there are a lot of options. Spotify, iTunes Radio, and Pandora are just tgree examples that all have quality music selections for you to listen to for free whenever you want. That is, of course, if you have a good Internet connection.
