Do you have these music applications in your smartphones...?

Lucknow: Can you ever imagine waking up, your road trip, your driving to work without music? I can assure you that it feels like hell if there is no music in your life. There will be something always missing if you spend your day without music.

Music is something that speaks when words fail, soothes the mind and gives it peace, heals the heart and make it flow from heaven to the soul. Music is the air that we breathe, the blood that pumps one's vein, that keeps us alive.

Now, as our generation revolves around cell phones and internet it is must to have at least 3 different types of melody applications...one for streaming music, one to find that new track you heard, one for the best radio you can ever find, and so on...

So just play the moments, pause the memories, stop the pain and rewind the happiness. that's all.

Wynk

  • An Airtel powered music app that is, actually, not bad at all.
  • Similar to Apple Music; although, from time-to-time, you get profitable deals doling out free music for a period of time that you can make the most of.
  • It's a good mix of all the top numbers on national and international charts, as well as old school classics.
  • Plus, the amount you spend on the downloads and plays is quite minimal, no matter how extensive your phone usage may be.

Shazam

  • You know how sometimes you hear this bloody good song that you've never heard before and you don't know the name, or the artist?
  • Happens to the best of us and that's why there's Shazam.
  • Imagine you're at a nice club, pub, or lounge and a song comes on that you're enjoying and would want to listen to later on.
  • You open Shazam, tap on the blue disc-like image in the centre and as it starts to spin, it's listening to the track playing out loud and getting the track name and artist for you.
  • It keeps a track of all your recent plays and even suggests similar music you might be interested in. Lifesaver!

SoundHound

  • Similar to Shazam, but a lot more extensive in terms of options.
  • You definitely won't close the app as soon as you're done finding a song by lyrics, tune or humming.
  • You'll likely check out what people in and around your network are listening to, the music that is trending in your region, videos and songs that are new in that week.
  • It also gives you some nice music general knowledge to take home, like artists whose birthdays are on a particular date.
  • You can even go to the world map and see what albums and artists people around the world are listening to at that moment.

TuneIn

Image result for tunein screenshot

  • What I like about TuneIn is it's a lot like spoon feeding which is good for the soul because the app literally pampers the music into your lap… if you get my drift.
  • You simply choose your genre, starting from the 60s and spanning up to the Top 40 across the world.
  • Work your way from there. Clicking on any genre will give you a host of channels to listen to and it's quite an amazing experience to discover tracks that you thought you might have forgotten or misplaced or, whatever else.

  • Some of the greatest dance music tracks release here, before most other places in the world.
  • So, it's also one of the best ways to stay ahead of the game and know what's currently trending and upcoming in the scene.
  • Also worth checking out are the genre-based playlists that Beatport puts together.
  • You can just play these at your next house party and chill.

Wonder

  • This is the Indian equivalent to, well, just about all international music streaming apps.
  • And surprisingly enough, it's one of the good ones, after Wynk.
  • The latest music in the country breaks on this app before most other places.
  • And that's not all. Saavn has an incredibly great collection of international artists and songs, including some original tracks that aren't as easy to find on most other music apps.
  • You can browse through their alphabetic lists of songs that will surprise you in a really pleasant way.
  • Definitely, one of the few good music apps in India.
