Currently, mobile devices are not only used to communicate as thanks to technology and the advancement of mobile applications we can have a wide variety of activities that we can do with it. Eg; take pictures, watch videos, surf the Internet, play and listen to music, among other things.
In most devices there are no pre-installed applications for playing music, we will only have an application on certain occasions that will allow us to use our device as a portable radio.
When we enter the Play Store (Android) o nell’App Store (iOS) we can find countless applications, including music players, but it is difficult to decide which is best. In this article we will help you to get to know the best free apps to play music and songs on your Android and iOS mobile.
Spotify
One of the most popular applications currently that has a free and a Premium version. In the free version we can access the large music library that this application offers us, but by not paying for the service we can absorb a few seconds of advertising.
La Premium version of Spotify, besides eliminate advertising, it will allow us to download music to listen to when we do not have an internet connection and to access customized playlists. It currently has support on Android and iOS.
Deezer
An application similar to Spotify, especially in its interface and appearance, with the option of being free or Premium. In the Premium version we access a personalized list of recommendations that the application obtains through algorithms of our musical tastes. Although the free version is not bad at all.
Like Spotify, it allows us to download songs and listen to them without an internet connection. This application is supported on Android and iOS.
YouTube Red e YouTube Music
YouTube already has a free application that allows us to watch videos on any device, but it happens that when we listen to music from the application and lock our screen, the song stops playing, even with countless advantages in this free version.
That's why YouTube has created a Premium version where paying for the service gives us access to removing ads during videos and the ability to work in the background with our device. The arrival of YouTube Music benefits us from a Spotify-like application with exclusively music content and makes it ideal for everyday use. It has support on Android and iOS.
Soundcloud
A free platform that for several years has offered us a gallery where you can not only find music, but also podcasts, radio programs, news, audiobooks and mix music easily like a DJ. We may find new and amateur artists in your gallery using SoundCloud to upload their content before larger servers where they will have higher requirements to share said material. It has support on Android and iOS.
Bandcamp
A new and free alternative in the market that is simply designed to promote the production of new artists and support them economically and morally since the contents are accessible for free and with the possibility of downloading them by paying different amounts established by the authors of each sound work. It has support on Android and iOS.
NetEase
A free application of Chinese origin very similar to Spotify, it currently has millions of songs in its library and is offered as a free alternative without advertising that allows us to download the songs in DRM-free MP3, from an album or playlist, create custom playlists and even view song lyrics in the player.
The application is currently available for download in Chinese only and has regional blocking, so some countries will need to use a private VPN to access it.
We hope you like these apps in their free version (which they all have) or in their paid versions.
