Technology: Paid Music Streaming
August 1, 2016

Apple Music, Tidal and Google Play Music

$9.99–$19.99/month

Like most music streaming services, Apple Music, Tidal and Google Play Music offer new music and artist recommendations based on what you already listen to—making them a great way to discover new tunes. But the paid, commercial-free versions of these services also allow you to save and download any song to listen to offline, mixing your own music library with an unending online catalogue. Plus, you receive access to exclusive content, created by your favorite artists just for the streaming service: live performance recordings, interviews and brand-new music.

Perhaps most important, paid music-streaming gives you the chance to support other artists. By paying for your subscription to services like these, you’re making sure singers, songwriters and musicians receive the royalties owed them for each stream and download.
