The 5 best streaming music services

Just yesterday I was talking to you about the importance of streaming music in stopping illegal downloads in Norway. But not everyone knows these music services, and if they know how they work, they may not have found the one that best suits their needs or tastes. Although Spotify is the king of this market, it is not the only one that exists, there are many options to choose from. That is why here you can see what they are the 5 best streaming music services that today we can meet.

Spotify

Spotify

I said it already, Spotify is the undisputed leader in the music sector via streaming, and that is the reason why we cannot omit it from this list. The leader in the digital streaming market allows us to listen to music, create playlists and, with its latest update, preview the most popular 30 seconds of a topic without affecting the music we are playing. The service has millions of songs in its repertoire, however you can always load local files from groups that are not available to be able to play the music without the need for another audio player.
In addition to all this, we can take Spotify with us thanks to the smartphone application.

Rdio

Rdio

The service that stands up to 'the king'. Rdio It is the main alternative to Spotify. It has a much clearer and easier to use interface, something that is greatly appreciated by users who do not want to waste time getting distracted or who have a hard time finding certain functions. Like whoever tops the list, Rdio allows us to listen to streaming music, create playlists and It is more reliable in terms of speed, where Spotify has its good and bad days.

The only point against it is that, despite also having millions of songs in its library, we will not be able to choose music that is not in its repertoire. If the group has decided not to put their songs on Rdio, You won't be able to hear them there.

Napster

Napster

It revolutionized the world of music by popularizing MP3, but today it is far from what it was before. The name now serves to recognize an online music service. It is still incredibly popular - mainly in the United States - but it has many things to improve. Its interface is quite poor and, unlike the two services mentioned, we cannot listen to songs for free.

Play Music

Play Music

After those three titans come services that have not hit the market so strongly. Play Music is one of them.
As you can imagine from the name, it is Google's music service. The internet giant also does not allow you to listen to free music with its service, you will have to pay if you want to enjoy Play Music, although it does allow us to enjoy the first month for free.

The only thing we can do with the basic version (free) is upload our music library to Google servers. We have a limit of 20.000 songs, although there is hardly anyone who exceeds that limit.

Xbox Music

Xbox Music

Another service that comes from a technology giant but that has not succeeded like others in the sector. Xbox Music has begun to gain prominence since Windows 8 saw the light, since the music service comes pre-installed on the system.

Its Modern UI interface allows us to navigate through the service without any problem, it has a decent catalog and the search engine is a highlight. We will be able to listen to music for free, although we will have to swallow all the advertising - in video - that Microsoft places on its service.
