The days of physical media are slowly coming to a close. Of course, whenever someone makes that statement, another piece of physical media makes an astounding comeback. Vinyl is still a hot commodity, and cassette tapes have a niche audience. But for the most part, just like their video counterparts, music streaming services have become the dominant source of music consumption. While we should always support independent artists (listen, then buy if you like it), streaming allows users to discover more music than they would otherwise. Again, we should pay for what we like and buy albums, but that’s neither here nor there concerning this list. Once you’ve picked out some great headphones, it’s time to dive into the best music streaming services. And there are more than you think.
