The world of on-demand music
streaming has never been more crowded. There is a soaring increase in the
popularity of music streaming services on one hand and on the other, there is a
decline in digital music downloads. Today, more and more listeners prefer to
use streaming services that let you access huge music libraries at a nominal
fee. These massive online music libraries offer a varied amount of songs,
features, and its own quirks. They give you the freedom to listen to music
whenever and wherever you want. However, with so many music streaming services
available in the market, it can be tricky to decide which one to use. Here, we
put Amazon Prime Music and Google Play Music against each other to see which
one is better.
Amazon Prime Music has a neat
user interface with more than ten million songs. The music app has included
several features like online radio stations and customized playlists, which are
inspired from existing music. Moreover, Amazon offers ad-free music in over 10
languages spanning across different genres. It also comes with the AI
assistant, Alexa. So, you have to simply tap on the Alexa icon on the app and
give commands to play your favourite music or album. You can also download
unlimited songs on Amazon Prime Music to listen to them offline. Another major
advantage is that Prime Music will be available on Amazon’s products and even
on the web. At Rs. 999 per year (Rs. 83 per month), this deal by Amazon gives
free one-day delivery on products and access to Amazon's music and video
library.
Coming to Google Play Music, it
offers nearly 40 million songs in multiple languages, though the regional
content isn’t its strong point. Accessing the Google Play services requires a
Google account. Once you have signed in with your Google account, you’ll be
presented with a genre selection screen that contains a plethora of regional
and international music. Google Play Music also allows its users to upload up
to 50,000 songs of their own to its Play Music, without having to spend a
single rupee in doing so. Additionally, Google Play Music also offers radio
services to its free users, which includes playlists depending on mood,
activities, and situations. Google Play music subscription will cost you 99
INR/month.
Final Verdict: For those of you
who really want to make the most of their investment, Amazon Prime Music is
worth your bucks. It's a great deal by Amazon that offers unlimited music,
Amazon Prime Video, free delivery on Amazon & special Amazon Offers as part of the
Amazon Prime subscription.
