Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming applications with the most users in the world. Among its main advantages is that it’s free and we don’t have to pay to listen to millions of songs of any genre from any device. However, there are many alternative apps to Spotify that you can install on your smartphone. If you don’t know where to start and want to try something new, here are some recommendations.
