Music Premium ($10.99 per month) lets you listen and watch ad-free and offers an audio-only mode so that you can play a song without its video. It's like having a lyric video for all your favorite songs! Not every track includes lyrics, but most of the ones I've streamed do, and it's one of the reasons I keep using the app. It can build a playlist for you based on the music you like.Īnother feature I appreciate, and one that I don't find in most music apps, is the ability to read lyrics while the song is playing. Add songs to your library and craft playlists, or choose from a variety of preset playlists. The YouTube Music video offerings include popular music videos along with live recordings, interviews, concert footage, and more, spanning decades of artists' work. Its smart search function helps you find songs even when you don't know the title. Its powerful recommendation engine adapts seamlessly to offer songs and content according to what you played before, where you are, and what you're doing. YouTube Music provides a staggering number of streaming songs and videos from popular artists as well as lesser-known, niche content creators.

Only paying users can continue streaming in the background when the device is locked. Need a Premium account for ad-free music and offline listening.

If you want to remove ads, play any song at any time, download the music, and more, there are Spotify Premium plans to pick from. The app allows several push notifications, alerting you to things like a new album being released from an artist you follow, or when a playlist is updated. One thing that I think makes playlists enjoyable with Spotify is that anyone can make one and share it with others so that they can play the same songs in their app. Like most apps with free music, Spotify lets you add your favorite songs to your music library and play those songs again later. It lets you find music by viewing top lists and new releases, as well as by searching for playlists and your favorite artists and albums. This is my go-to music app when I want to find music similar to the stuff I know I already like.

Spotify is an awesome music app that lets you follow artists and sync music from your desktop. Like Pandora, listed below, you can create a radio station so it plays recommended music based on your initial interest.
