7 Best Music Apps For Your Smartphone
By Jason Phillips and Parking Games 365.
One of the most popular uses for a smartphone, besides web browsing and, well, the phone feature, is using it as a music player. You no longer need to carry a separate device in order to listen to music on your daily commute, because whether it’s your personal music collection that you prefer, or a radio station, your smartphone has you covered. You just need a good app to get the job done. Here are some of the finest music apps for your smartphone.
TuneWiki is pretty much the equivalent of your everyday music player, on steroids. The app allows you to organize your music library into easily accessible playlists, but also comes with some interesting additional features. For example, the app can automatically search for lyrics and scroll them as your track is playing, making for a great feature for an ad-hoc karaoke session. It’s also up to date with the trends, allowing you to easily share a song you like with your friends via a social media platform such as Facebook, at the touch of a button.
Spotify is among the most popular music streaming apps out there. The app is designed to offer you a seamless music streaming and syncing experience across devices, so whether you use it on your tablet, smartphone or PC, your music will always be there with you, hassle-free. An interesting feature of Spotify is that it allows you to create a radio station with some of your favorite tunes, and it automatically finds similar tracks – a great way of finding music you might like.
If you’ve ever heard a song that you like but didn’t know the name of it, you know just how frustrating it can get. Shazam is the app that will make sure you never run into that problem anymore. The app is designed to record a portion of a track that’s playing near you and analyze it in order to identify the artist and song name. Once it has a positive id, Shazam lets you play the track on YouTube, Spotify, look up artist info and a lot more. Simply put, Shazam is the equivalent of a Google search, but for music.
Are you a fan or radio? TuneIn Radio is your app! Coming with a database of radio stations that incorporates all possible genres from all around the world, TuneIn Radio is as good as it gets when it comes to listening to radio. The app has more than 100,000 radio stations, so you won’t run out of music anytime soon. You can tune in to any radio station and, if you opt for the Pro version, you can also record your favorite tracks or radio shows.
At a first glance, Songza looks like any other music streaming app out there. What makes it special is the fact that it can adapt the music to your mood, activity or preferred genre. For example, simply tell Songza that you’re at a family dinner and you’ll have the perfect background music to accompany a lovely meal; opt for workout and you’ll get upbeat music that will keep the pace with your exercises. The app normally streams the music from the Internet, but if you happen to come across a track you really like, you can view it on YouTube or even buy it directly from the app. How awesome is that?
If you like your things simple, Free MP3Box is for you. The app will fetch music based on simple keywords or hashtags, so if you’re into listening to some rock music, simply entering #rock in the will get you started instantly. While the app doesn’t allow you to create personalized playlists, it’s a good pick if you just want a bit of spontaneity.
Soundcloud is one of the music hosting platforms of choice for aspiring artists, so if you’re on the hunt for the big hits of tomorrow, Soundcloud is definitely worth a shot. You can browse for music by genre, follow trends and save your favorites in customized playlists. Soundcloud also has great social media integration, so once you come across an awesome track, sharing it with your friends on Facebook is easy.
