Alternative to Spotify: How to stream music

On the streaming service, the positions are clearly distributed: Spotify is the largest provider on the market. But there is also no shortage of alternatives to Spotify. If you want to break away from the industry leader, the choice is wide.

The market is now full of different streaming providers. Differences in the selection of music can only be seen in the details. Almost all providers have a repertoire of more than 30 million songs. However, the price of the music flat rates offered differs just as much as the usability of the platform and the system of automatic music suggestions.

Various alternatives to the streaming service provider Spotify

The following providers are among the most popular alternatives to Spotify:

• Amazon Music: With Amazon Prime Music, you stream music if you are already a Prime member. Even more songs are available with the subscription Amazon Music Unlimited.
• Apple Music: Especially iPhone users should consider streaming Music directly via Apple, if you value musical accompaniment especially on the go.

• Napster: Originated the streaming platform Napster from an illegal music exchange. Meanwhile, however, it is completely legal and offers many audio books in addition to the large music selection. Napster costs just under eight euros for desktop applications only and just under ten euros with integrated music function. Automatic music recommendations are not offered, the user interface is somewhat confusing.
• Deezer: Deezer is one of the toughest Spotify competitors. This is partly because there is no loss of quality in the music consumed with a Sonos system. Deezer also costs just under ten Euros per month, but the radio function is ad-financed and thus free of charge. The user interface is very user-friendly and they can integrate their own MP3 files in the playlist.
