Spotify and more: the best free music streaming apps Automatic translate

Not everyone is willing to pay to listen to their favorite songs without ads and without restrictions. However, in the panorama of streaming music services there is not only Spotify, but also many other applications that offer identical or similar functions.

Best Free Spotify Alternatives

1. YouTube music

Allows you to listen to songs by searching for them in the search bar or selecting them from playlists, divided by genre, artist and category. However, YouTube Music does not allow you to listen to songs in the background, so if you want to switch to WhatsApp or Facebook during playback, the music will stop. Despite these limitations, this is a pretty nice app.

To use listening with the screen off or while performing any other actions, you need to switch to YouTube Music Premium, which has no ads and allows you to set only the audio mode (no video).

2. Apple Music

Spotify’s main competitor is certainly Apple Music, which offers a three-month free trial.

The Apple Music catalog contains more than 45 million songs that you can listen to both online and offline, and with the paid version you have access to many services. Among the most interesting are the ability to communicate in Connect, a special social network and access to all exclusive content.

3. MP3UK

A large and free service where you can listen to music online , without the need to install any applications, right in your browser. Huge archive and latest news. A feature is the ability to download songs to your device.

4. MFlow

MFlow is a great alternative to Spotify: it offers 5 million songs, is free of ads, and also integrates a social network with which you can open new songs.

The playback quality is very good, and the catalog is extensive: you can find many different genres.

5. Last.fm

Last fm is very useful for finding new songs: it analyzes and stores everything that is listened to, and then offers its suggestions. Its main drawback is that many of the songs in the catalog are only previews.

Last fm doesn’t allow you to create playlists, but you can choose the artists you want to listen to. The quality of the music is very good, and the catalog is quite extensive.

6. SoundCloud

Designed to download and share original and independent music. It is available in versions for mobile and desktop applications and contains both famous and songs of novice performers.

7. Pandora Radio

Pandora is a site and contains over a million songs. Allows you to create your own playlists and skip songs that you don’t want to listen to. Skipping is limited to a certain number of times.

You can access the paid service or, as for Spotify, have a free version that makes users listen to ads from time to time.

Pandora is also available in a version for mobile applications, but not for desktop computers.

8. Stereomood

Stereomood offers a service entirely based on the mood of the people.

Stereomood does not offer maximum personalization: it is impossible to create your own playlists, you can only mark songs in accordance with the mood for which they are suitable. The service is absolutely free and without ads.
