4 apps for streaming music (that aren't Spotify)

If we ask you about an app for streaming music from your smartphone, tablet, or PC, the first one that probably comes to mind is Spotify . Not surprisingly, it's the most popular app for online music listening.

However, as we always like to go a little further, in this post we show you several interesting alternatives to the "green giant" so you can enjoy streaming your favorite songs and artists.

• Deezer Music : It works very similarly to Spotify. Like Spotify, Deezer lets you create and edit your own playlists , share your favorite songs on social media, and discover bands and artists thanks to personalized recommendations. However, the most notable difference between the two is that Deezer shows you the lyrics as you listen. In this regard, Deezer wins hands down!

• SoundCloud Music : Ideal for discovering new artists and songs , SoundCloud allows professional and amateur musicians to offer their songs for free. Like Deezer and Spotify, it also allows you to create playlists, but it's especially notable for its strong social component , allowing you to share your favorite music on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Thanks to this app, people from all over the world can share music of all genres .

• Google Play Music: It follows the philosophy of Spotify or Deezer, allowing you to search and listen to your favorite songs from your mobile device, discover new artists, and create and share your playlists . Like these, Google Play Music also has a free version with ads.

• TuneIn Radio : A different app from the previous ones, but one you'll love if you're a radio enthusiast and enjoy discovering new stations beyond the ones you usually tune into. TuneIn Radio lets you access music from over 100,000 radio stations from around the world. And you can listen to not only music, but also sports, news, podcasts , and live broadcasts of concerts and sporting events .

And that's it. These are the four apps we suggest as alternatives to Spotify for listening to music online. Which one do you choose?
