With the internet constantly expanding each day, there are many different ways you can stream/listen to your favorite music online. Sites such as Last.fm, GrooveShark, SoundCloud, and of course YouTube, gives us the convenience of listening to music without the need of downloading it.
I personally use SoundCloud. SoundCloud is mainly a social network for DJs to share their work with others. It allows you to connect with people who share similar tastes and genres of music and keeps you up to date with all the latest releases from many famous DJs. It also allows DJs to collaborate with other DJs to create crazy mash-ups and remixes. The great thing about SoundCloud that I like the most is that it also contains many sets from events that were played by famous DJs around the world. This allows me to enjoy their sets without the need of traveling, or if I missed a local event, I can easily just stream the set online.
Another site I like to use to stream music is GrooveShark. GrooveShark contains a huge database of music of any genre and allows you to search for the song you wish to listen to and create custom made playlists. You can create a free account where you can save those custom playlists so you don't have to re-create them every time you visit their site. They also have a premium account where you can download their mobile app for iPhone and Android devices so you can access your custom made playlists anytime you want. If you are running out of space to store music on your phone, this is a great alternative to listening to music from your phone without using a lot of space.
There are a lot more other sites that allow you to listen to music. So what sites do you use to listen to music?
Hey Joey,
ReplyDeleteI use Grooveshark too. I think i like it cause you can make an account free and create playlist for different moods. I mainly use it when I am at work and i have different playlist like "Soft listening", "EDC", and "Rap Music". It gives me the ability to be in front of any computer and just log into their site and listen as i please without paying a fee. I have never used Sound Cloud, maybe ill give it a try next time O am looking for music to listen to.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Mike
