The revolution of Internet has changed the world of media, and music is no exception from this list. Now most of the people are only listening their favorite tracks using music streaming services without downloading it. Organizing and renaming the music collections based on title and genre are not easy when you have the huge database of Music files in your system. That’s why many people looking for the online music streaming services.
But most of the services have come with price tag and restrictions in terms of limit to how many songs you can listen to, or the selection of music for free accounts. If you want to store your entire music collection on the cloud and want to listen for free then use Google Play Music.
