if you've never used a subscription-based music service before finding the one that works for you may feel a little bit daunting but I'm gonna show you some of the ins and outs of this convenient in a portable way to listen to music so why would you want to use one of these services anyway well for one they offer access to multiple millions of songs also you won't have to worry about any kind of music library management since it's all organized for you in the cloud in addition most services offer free trials lasting anywhere from a week to a month with no long term commitment so what's the downside well you don't actually own this music you're basically renting it for a while and when you in your subscription your playlists and your songs you've chosen go away unless you risa scribe also you won't find every single song on these services the Beatles for example are largely unavailable and new music isn't immediately available on these services in addition to artists to actually make this music don't make much money when you listen to their stream salt if you want to support your favorite band or artist there are much better ways to do so overall there are way more perks for these services especially if you're a music fan so how do they work well Spotify for example is one of the more popular music based services and it works on your tablet your phone or your computer now you can download it for free and once you're signed in you can start searching for songs or artists you want to listen to as long as you have an internet connection now you don't have to pay to listen but if you go the free route you won't have as much flexibility as you would if you're subscribed or you can search for individual songs albums and artists but if you're not subscribed you'll have to listen to periodic audio ads also the free version of Spotify on your tablet or computer will play any song you can find now if you're listening on your phone you won't actually be able to play specific songs and you could really only play albums or playlist in shuffle mode if you subscribe you won't have to listen to ads and you can play any song you can find on any device paying the fee also lets you download music to listen to later other services like radio work much in the same way giving you some access for free but then opening up all available features once you actually start paying there are plenty of music services out there and they each have their own advantages and disadvantages but the great thing is that you can try most of them for free and determine which one works best for you it all speaks to how we consume media these days paying a monthly fee to have access to tons of content now may not work in every medium but for music it seems pretty tailor-made more tips check out how to dot cnet.com
