Gone are the days of carrying around an extra device just to hold our stagnant and stale playlists while we’re on the go. Now, there are a plethora of differnet music streaming options which will let you pick exactly the song that you want to listen to, when you want to listen to it.

While the giants of Spotify and Google Play Music reign supreme, there are others on the Play Store that you can use to try and see what the grass looks like on the other side. We’re taking a look at ten of the best options to help you decide which music streaming platform is right for you.

Spotify

Spotify gives you access to one of the largest music libraries on the planet. In order to get some of the power user features you will need a full subscription. Spotify was one of the first music subscription services to gain mainstream popularity and it’s still king.

TIDAL

Jay-Z’s TIDAL Music has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but continues to be the best option for those who want the highest quality of music on the market. The problem with TIDAL comes in the form of pricing, as the service costs about $20 per month. But if you’re an audiophile, that $20 per month is well worth it. Plus, TIDAL is the exclusive owner to the rights of Jay-Z’s discography, making it impossible to find it elsewhere.

Napster

Do you remember Napster? Yep, that Napster. Well, Rhapsody has revived the brand with a new streaming music platform. Napster boasts “millions” of songs, and also offers a 30-day free trial to help you decide whether this is the right streaming platform for you. After that trial has ended, you’ll be shelling out about $10 per month for the service.

YouTube Music

YouTube might actually be the most popular music service on the planet, but listening to music with the video app isn’t great. YouTube Music is a dedicated music player for all the music in YouTube’s library. It plays music like a regular music app and is included in Play Music All Access.

You’ll also be able to download those songs for offline listening, while also retaining the traditional “radio station” features that Slacker has become known for.
