Better Choice for Listening Music on Our Phone

Almost all of  us are own at least one mobile device, especially the phone, and majority of us are like to listen music on our phone, so do you know how do we get music on our phone for listening  in usual, and do you know which is a better way for us to listen music  on the phone?

Aactually, there are some different methods to get music on our phone, for iPhone, we usually buy a music from iTunes store and then download it to our computer then to sync it to iPhone via iTunes, or download it to iPhone directly if we buy music on iPhone. For Android phone, like HTC One X, HTC One S or other HTC smartphones, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Note and so on , we may probably buy music on Amazon or other places and then put it on our phone for pleasure. Also, there is still a famous way of get music on our phone, that is buy a CD and then extract the music for our phone from it, the most thing we do on this is insert the CD in our DVD drive, and then open iTunes or Windows Media Player to sync the music from CD to our iPhone, Android Phone or Windows Phone.

And with the development of mobile devices, there has been appeared a new way for us to listen music on our phone, and some of us may have applied it to listen music on the phone for a long times, which is Spotify, it is only need us to install a Spotify app on our phone, and pay $9.99 per month, then we can listen any music we want on our phone, and which allow us to set the playlist you want as offline mode, which means you can sync the music from Spotify server to your desktop or phone, then you can listen the music in this playlist offline. However, the most interesting thing on this method to listen music on our phone is we can use little money to enjoy any music we want, I think. As if we buy an album will cost us $8 or more on iTunes or Amazon, but we can only get one or two dozens of songs from it. So I mean this is a cheap method to get tons of music for listening on our phone if we choose Spotify. And now there are also other services similar to Spotify  have been appeared online, which are Sony Music Unlimited and Samsung Music Hub, the latter one will be first buit in Samsung Galaxy S3, and what make us amazing is that they all offer the same fee as Spotify, $9.99 per month, but they still have some differences, I believe. And you'd better to choose Sony Music Unlimited if you have a lot of Sony devices, like Sony phone, tablet and PlayStation 3 system, PSP and so on, because which can allow you to use single account to access the music on these Sony devices. But if you are use an Android phone or iPhone, you'd better to use Spotify, as it can offers more music, and you'll find it is easy to use.

Another grat way for us to get music on phone for listening is download from Youtube or other sites, because which is usually free, and free is always loved with us. However, this is not a legal way to get music or music video from Youtube, and more serious is we are easy to get virus on our phone, computer and other devices with this way.

So a better choice for us to listen music on our phone seems very important, for one thing, we don't want to cost much to buy music. for another, we want to get more music on our phone. thus, the Spotify is become the better mthod for us to get music on our phone.
