You might know that earlier there were cassettes in which songs were recorded & stored and then many copies of them were made for selling purposes but nowadays it's completely a different scenario since Indian consumers got access to fast and affordable internet, music streaming rocketed in the country. Plus, more affordable smartphones meant that streaming music via the internet got easier.

Top Music Services India 2021

1) Spotify 


Spotify is currently the best music streaming service in the world, thanks to its vast music library and a brilliant set of apps on various platforms. It even supports ad-supported music for the free tier. Now there are over 2 million users, which made it the best player in music streaming services in India. 

Apart from that, Spotify excels in most other areas, be it the quality and UI design of apps, the music streaming quality, or compatibility with a vast collection of platforms and devices. It has excellent apps for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, Xbox, PlayStation, Android TV, tvOS, Fire TV, and Smart TVs from Samsung, and LG& other brands.

It is also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, AirPlay, and Chromecast. It is even compatible with various NAPs (Network Audio Players), home theatre systems, and network DACs.

It's in the 1st position since it provides you an overall package. It's an All-Rounder music streaming service in India.

The free subscription offers 96kbps on mobile and 160kbps on desktop, and if you want 320kbps, you’ll have to subscribe to the premium plan. The best thing about this is that even it is the best music service but still it's very affordable. Its family plan comes at Rs.199 in which you can connect 6 devices with just a single account & enjoy group sessions with your friends & family. For further information about subscriptions, you can refer to the following links.


2) Youtube Music


YouTube Music is the successor to Google Play Music. It has all the music which are on Youtube & it even has various Podcasts. The good news is that YouTube Music is a most impressive service, and Google has retained its predecessor's music locker system. If you have a legacy Google Play Music account you may be able to still transfer your library over to YouTube Music. And it's not just legacy content: YouTube Music allows users to upload new tracks to its online music locker, too.

As you know, Youtube Music is another service by Google so, it's definitely available across various devices & platforms. 

It's in the 2nd position because when you lock your phone screen, the song or video you are playing stops, which many of the users won’t like. It also doesn't have Discover Weekly competitor.

Its Premium membership costs Rs.109 per month but if you take the
Youtube Premium Membership it'll cost just Rs.139 per month in which you too get Youtube Music Premium which is a quite tempting deal for all. Youtube Music Premium is the only app in which you can too see the video with music that is very interesting. For further information about subscriptions, you can refer to the following links.


3) Wynk Music



Wynk Music from Airtel is one of the best music apps in India, where you can listen to popular music and songs from different genres. Wynk music also has many other features for Airtel subscribers, where they can enjoy many other services of the app as well. You can set your hello tunes with Wynk. It also provides HD quality music streaming even in the Free Version. Its vast music database lets you listen to any kind of music, be it from Hollywood or any Indian regional song. It is one of the best music apps for Android, which you can get at Google Play Store or for iOS from the App Store. But unfortunately, it's not available on other platforms. However, you can visit its website & log in there to listen to music on your PCs.

It's in the 3rd position because it lacks compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Its UI design might not be as clear and sharp as that of Spotify.

The Wynk Premium Subscription costs Rs.49 per month & Rs.399 per year but it's free for Airtel Customers & Non-Airtel users can get it from the Airtel Thanks App or they can directly buy it through the app.

It has a large number of songs that you can listen to very quickly. The App has more than 60 million songs that you can listen to ad-free. It is an excellent choice if you've invested heavily in Apple devices or you are more interested in listening to International Music. If you own an Apple HomePod or Mini, it is the default subscription service to summon music with your voice. Apple Music also makes the ideal companion for an iPod Touch, which, amazingly, is still a thing. You can download this app for your Android phone or Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC as well.

It's on the 4th position due to its centric focus on "International Music" suggestions while it lags behind incompatibility & "Regional Music" as well as "Bollywood Music" suggestions.
