The advancements in technology have touched nearly all aspects of everyday life, and music consumption is no exception. As the music industry has evolved to keep up with the latest trends, there’s been a continual progression in the mediums used to offer songs and albums to the public. Today, there’s no shortage of options for buying or listening to music. Each one has its benefits, so it primarily comes down to preference when choosing a method. Here are some of the top ways to get new music from your favorite singers.

How to Access the Music You Love

1. Streaming Services

In this digital era, it’s common for many people to use streaming services to listen to music. Some of the most popular subscriptions include Spotify®, Apple Music®, YouTube® Music, Pandora®, and Tidal®. These services have large libraries of audio content and usually work on a variety of platforms, such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. This makes it easy to find music from the singers you like most and access songs from almost anywhere.

2. Downloads

Purchasing music downloads from services like Amazon® and iTunes® offers an alternative to streaming. This allows you to permanently add songs or entire albums to your own music library. Your purchases can be stored on your smartphone, tablet, computer, or MP3 player so you can quickly pull them up whenever you want to listen to something specific.

3. CDs

Although consumers may be buying CDs less frequently, this isn’t an option you should automatically dismiss. For music enthusiasts, there’s a great deal of pleasure in owning a physical copy of an album. They offer excellent sound quality and provide the chance to browse through the lyrics and songwriting credits for a more personal connection. This is also an ideal way to support your favorite singers.
