10 best music apps and tools to maximize your listening experience! - Android
We already have lists for music streaming and music player apps. However, there are other types of music apps out there. There are apps that help you organize your physical collection, find lyrics, identify songs, and even convert playlists from one streaming service to another. With so many ways to interact with music, we wanted to do another list with some extra apps that may be a little more fun in a different sort of way. Here are the best music apps for Android.
Price: Free / $4.99 per month
Audiomack is a music discovery tool. It has a ton of mixtapes, albums, singles, and other music from a variety of genres, including Afropop, Reggae, R&B, rap, hip-hop, and others. You can stream the music all you want to or download it for your personal listening. The free version has online streaming with advertisements or you can get everything ad-free for $4.99 per month. That’s actually fairly competitive. Other apps in this space include Reverbnation and SoundCloud. It’s a music streaming app. However, it focuses on the indie side of things rather than the most mainstream music you can find.
Price: Free
Change Playlist Image is a simple app for Spotify users. You log into your Spotify with the app and then you can change up your playlists. It lets you change the playlist name, description, and playlist image. These changes are reflected in the actual Spotify app. This is one of many Spotify management apps, but we like this one for its simplicity and filling in a gap within the app itself. Those who miss Spotify’s widget can try this app as well.
Price: Free trial / $14.99 per year
CLZ Music is an organizational app for your physical media. You can index and categorize your CDs and records in order to keep track of everything you own. Additionally, you can scan barcodes for faster organization and sync your collection between devices. Additionally, you can search for stuff by its Catalog Number or by name with the app’s database. The price seems high, but it’s on a per year basis rather than per month so it’s rather reasonable. Discogs is another excellent app in this space, although Discogs is mostly just for vinyl records.
Price: Free
Google Assistant is a bit of a homer pick, but it’s honestly great for music fans. You can search for things like lyrics and Assistant can also find YouTube videos or play songs and playlists on a variety of streaming services. However, we’re putting it here for its music recognition. You can ask Google Assistant to identify a song and it’ll usually do a good job with it. It gives you quick access to all of the music information on the Internet and that makes it a handy tool.
Price: Free / $2.49
MediaMonkey is a local music player but it does a lot more than that. There is also a desktop variant available for Windows and the two work together very much like iTunes used to. You can manage your library on the computer and sync it to your device. It works over a cable like you would expect or you can set up the app to sync over WiFi as well. The WiFi sync works fairly well although it hiccups a bit with larger collections. However, if you want a mobile and desktop experience for your music and you want them to work together, MediaMonkey is probably your best bet.
Price: Free / $3.99 per month / $35.99 per year
Musixmatch is a lyrics app and it’s one of the few left that work pretty well. It supports a variety of streaming services with a floating bar that shows you lyrics to songs you’re listening to. Additionally, it has offline lyrics, YouTube support, support for Wear OS, and Chromecast support. It ticks a lot of other boxes as well. The big complaint with this one is the advertising. Musixmatch has some of the most obnoxious ads we’ve seen on a music app. You can pay a subscription to remove them and we wish that subscription was a bit cheaper, but those are the breaks. It’s otherwise quite good.
