If you’re tired of Spotify, or have been burned one time too many times by Pandora’s Jay-Z station, read on for a list of six apps that help take the guesswork out of play-listing.
1) PaceDJ
Don’t make your workout any harder than it needs to be; PaceDJ pulls tunes from the music you already own, and matches it to the level of your workout – whether you’re doing slow reps with heavy weights, or sprinting, your music adjusts accordingly.
2) MusicTube
Get all the benefits of listening to music through YouTube without having to actually play the video. MusicTube has full albums, live concerts and the tracks in between, and is easily customizable.
3) Songza
Looking for the perfect soundtrack for walking down the street? Maybe you wish you were drinking at a dive bar. Songza’s great at matching the right tracks to your mood.
4) 8Tracks
Choose a theme or genre, and this app will put together tracks that are commercial-free.
5) Google Play
If you hate limits, commercials, and restrictions of any kind, the Google Play app will make you pretty happy. Upload up to 20,000 songs, download any of them, and free up space on your iPhone.
6) Beats Music
The Beats Music app takes the time to get to know you and your tastes. The more you listen, the better the app gets at nailing down new recommendations. It just might be your most successful relationship yet.
