How great is it to be able to access a hundred thousand radio stations and podcasts on TuneIn? Also, if you love to travel, it is a great way to enjoy the music you’ve heard in other countries-and a way to explore places you’ve never been. If you go for the premium package, you can replay songs you just heard on the radio. The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to use.
There are only 800 stations to choose from, but that’s much more than enough. I use the iHeartRadio app to listen to live radio stations on my phone, though it lets me choose online radio stations as well. The 80’s Alternative station is my guilty pleasure. Slacker's commercials are particularly obnoxious, and they count down the number of songs you can skip, but there’s a hand-picked, curated feeling to the tunes Slacker plays, and the format includes hosts who talk knowledgeably about the music. Sirius XM goes across platforms-my car doesn’t have a satellite radio, but if it did, I might subscribe to SiriusXM just to hear Outlaw Country. The SiriusXM subscription costs vary widely, depending on the way you want to access it. With more than 150 channels, you can tune into almost anything you want. You can get Spotify for free, but their premium offering protects you from commercials and allows unlimited skips, so you never have to listen to something you don't like. After I went in and chose my favorite genres, the "My Welcome Mix" Spotify picked for me was spot on. Possibly the best app to use to share music with friends, Spotify is also great for music discovery. But I've had some of my stations for years, and they're always changing in a good way. The one thing that puts me off Pandora is the number of mediocre live versions of songs it's always playing. There are commercials, but you can pay for a subscription to remove them from your stream. You can create your own radio station, or listen to someone else’s playlist. Here are 10 apps that I've got my ears on. Most of the best ones have free versions, though the paid versions are better. So, to stream your jam, tune into your favorite radio apps. Unless you have a car commute, you may not listen to the radio much at all. Besides, I’ve always thought that listening to the radio beats listening to my iTunes, because it lets me discover music I would otherwise never hear.īut terrestrial radio is mostly limited to what’s on the dial in your own part of the world, whether that’s music, sports, talk, or news. As a music junkie, National Radio Day is one of my favorite fake holidays, the one I'd actually choose to celebrate.
I’m a radio geek, and (disclosure) I was on the air as a disc jockey in Boston for many years.
