Advantages and disadvantages of using Spotify

A little trick if you have the Free version: If you can't skip anymore, change your playlist and play it for a minute. Then go back to the playlist you were listening to previously. It's a good way to fool Spotify as another song will start playing when you get back.

Advantages and disadvantages of using Amazon Music
It is an app that last time competed with Spotify. And that was to be expected. If you are a user Premium di Amazon Prime, you can unify all your accounts on this platform to be able to access your music for free.
However, this raises doubts among users, since it is not totally free. To access Amazon Prime Music, you need to pay for the Amazon Prime service in advance.

The big downside to Amazon is that you have access to a small part of its music catalog. We are talking about 2 million songs compared to the 50 million that his complete catalog has. To access its entire catalog, you need to go to Amazon Music Unlimited. It's your turn to decide for one!
In addition to these two services, there are many other equally good and free streaming music services.
