Among the wide variety of multimedia content that we currently consume on our computer, in addition to photos or videos, music is a key element. In fact, many of you have music libraries made up of hundreds or thousands of files that, for example, you can manage from the free Kodi software.
In this case we are referring to a powerful open source multimedia center that has been with us for a good number of years. Not only does it allow us to play all kinds of multimedia content, but it also makes a multitude of very interesting additional functions available to us. From here we can administer and manage a library of photos, music, videos, television channels or even retro games. To do this, all we have to do is download Kodi from its official website and put it into operation at no cost.
In addition to all the functions and features that the software offers us by default, one of its peculiarities is the use of complements or add-ons . These are small pieces of software that we add to the application itself in order to increase its functionality. On the internet we can find a multitude of repositories full of these add-ons. Of course, we must take into account that some of these software elements are not legal because they call copyrighted content.
But at the same time, the multimedia center itself offers us its own repository with some options of this type that can be of help to us. For example, if we focus on everything related to music, we find some add-ons that will provide us with all the music we need without spending a single euro. In fact, below, we are going to talk about some of these that you find in Kodi itself and that you only have to install from its Add-ons section.
bandcamp
One of the main objectives of this plugin is to give us the opportunity to discover new musical artists that we can enjoy through their compositions. Obviously through this free add-on we won’t find commercial music right now, but surely music lovers will find content that they’re going to love.
mixcloud
We find something similar in the add-on called Mixcloud that offers us the Kodi repository itself. After its installation in the program we will have at our fingertips a multitude of radio podcasts, DJ sessions from all over the world, and much more. This will allow us to enjoy music of all kinds of genres without paying anything.
ORF Radiothek
Although for many it is a totally outdated means of communication in these times, for others it is still an important part of their lives. Specifically, we refer to the radio, a medium that even today provides us with a multitude of musical content. More so if we have access to foreign stations that offer us musical themes that we may not have heard in our lives. This is the case with this plugin called ORF Radiothek .
Radio
As its name makes it quite clear, here we find another add-on that we can install on Kodi to listen to online radio stations. To give you an idea of the importance and versatility of this complement, say that it offers us more than 3000 stations from all over the world , many of them focused on music. Obviously we can access all kinds of genres and search for those stations that interest us the most.
Somafm
For all those lovers of alternative music or Underground , this will be an excellent alternative to enjoy all this content. It is an add-on for Kodi that directly offers us a good amount of music of this genre so that we can enjoy it in the multimedia center. Obviously the variety here is one of the most remarkable points.
