Music Apps - treat your hearing sense

Here is the era of music and songs through apps. Gone are the days of tapes and discs. Until recent years it was mp3 songs but with the advent of unlimited internet its music streaming. New songs are released in one of these apps. 
When this concept of music apps came in being it felt ambiguous with the numerous mp3 files lying in the system storage. Once you start using a music app you'll get the feeler of it and start falling for this app.  Their websites are available when you are listening to music via a desktop or laptop and install apps while on the smart phones. All these play the local music or mp3 songs stored in our smart phones.
Its free to listen to these songs with high speed network. To download your favourite songs or to listen to songs ad-free one will need to make the payment. There is option to go with monthly or yearly payment. Also coupons are available on other online purchases to make the required payment.

Lets see in detail some of these Indian music apps at our beck and call,

Gaana: Huge collection of English, Tamil and Hindi songs. Website has ads running along but vanishes on making payment. But download of songs is available only on mobile apps. Radio of various artist are found, mainly vintage. Latest songs appear as and when they are released. Navigation through songs is easy. While listening to a song one can go that album and breeze through all other songs, also singer of a song opens the gate to all songs of that singer. Some of the rare gems can be browsed through. Search option is quiet fast and helps get our songs in a go. Interesting playlists are accessible like the one on K.Balachander. In house audios on meditation, retro songs and unreleases songs by Shankar Mahadevan are add-ons.
Saavn: With the merger of Jio music its now Jio Saavn but Jio users don't get it for free. Till one makes the payment one has got to listen to audio Ads in between songs. Most new releases find a place here. Also it has the best collection of music legends like M.S.Subbulakshmi. The in house audio treats are in the form of Anupama and Rajeev's talk on movie and Neha Dupia's interviews. In tamil, Ilayaraja's different playlists are a joy to listen to. Artist radio offers a whole range of songs of each of them. Top songs list is hand picked. This is costlier then Gaana app.
Wynk: This app leans on airtel for payment either from pre-paid or on post paid billing. Simple app with faster search through collection of songs. No in house programs. Retro hits related playlists are of great selection. International music is of wide variety; top songs from US and UK are exclusive. Importance to music instruments is given through sounds of India. This remains ad-free. Kids collection is a treat. Apt for iTunes. 

Keep listening to music...

The temple gopuram can be seen at a large distance as the from the space was allocated for parking. Early morning we could see only 2 cars before us.
