5 Best Online Music Streaming Platforms 2021

A life without music is truly unimaginable. Whether on the web, mobile phones, or tablets, the options for music access are unlimited and so are the streaming music services that are growing at lightning-fast speed. This makes it very complicated to choose one or two from them and decide the most appropriate one.

The following list of the 5 best free online music streaming platforms will help you out of the complicated state and make it easier for you to decide as to which ones are the best to get a space in your devices without burning a hole in your pockets.

Best music streaming services to try in 2021

1.Deezer

Deezer is one of the more mature and experienced music streaming service providers, having started in 2006. The site has as many as 30 million music options in its catalog and is compatible with almost all the platforms, from Android to Blackberry, PC to Windows. The company offers unlimited free music access to the user for one month and then restricts the access to two hours.

If you want to download music from Deezer without any charges then Deezloader comes to save your bucks. Deezer is one of the companies with the largest catalog and provides all the basic features. By paying for upgrades, the users can also remove the access restriction and listen to higher-quality tracks.

2. Amazon Music

The best thing about Amazon Music is that its basic ad-free tier is included with Prime, but it's sneaky. It has a song catalog of more than 70 million tracks, but certain artists and albums are off-limits unless you pay extra for Amazon Music Unlimited—$8 per month for Prime members and $10 per month for everyone else.

Audio quality at 256 Kbps is better than Spotify's free tier at 160 Kbps, but I prefer Spotify's interface, music discovery, and curated playlists. There is a premium tier called Amazon Music HD that boosts the streaming bit rate to an average of 850 Kbps. It costs $13 per month for Prime members and $15 for nonmembers. If you're going to pay up, there are better options.

3.Pandora

Pandora, once a giant of the streaming world, has struggled in recent years and recently faced pressure to find a buyer. But Pandora does have its strengths: It's super simple to use and it's a good tool for discovering new music based on other artists or songs you like.

And, to keep up with Apple and Spotify, Pandora has rolled out some new features that aren't half bad. The chief example is Thumbprint Radio, a personalized radio station that plays songs based on what songs you've liked on Pandora in the past À la Spotify's Discover Weekly.

4.Slacker Radio

Another popular name in the music streaming service industry is Slacker Radio. Slacker Radio has equipped around 13 million tracks and in its catalog with a streaming quality of 128 kbps and professional DJs creating music stations. It is free with ads but has a subscription for without ad and on-demand streaming.

5.Tidal

Tidal started out leaning heavily on hip-hop, but that's not the case these days. Its catalog of more than 70 million songs draws from the same broad swathe of genres as its competition. There are three pricing tiers. Tidal Access is free and lets you play curated channels, but you can't search for music or skip songs. The Premium tier is $10 a month and plays audio at up to 320 Kbps.

The real draw is the HiFi tier for $20 a month. It plays everything at the lossless sound quality, up to 1,411 Kbps. There are tracks you can play at “Master" quality (up to 9,216 Kbps), but they're few and far between. It supports Dolby Atmos Music and 360 Reality Audio too. Most people don't have the ears or equipment to discern lossless audio quality and will do fine without the HiFi tier, but if you do have the right gear, Tidal is the way to go—for now.
