What got me to creating list of no internet music apps?

Recently, I was on a long drive with my family and we were having a good time. Cool breeze, shower rain, lovely atmosphere, and loud music – everything was going perfect. Until the music app stopped altogether due to poor network coverage! And everyone’s mood was dampened after that.

Music plays an important part in our lives. No matter your age – music is like food for the soul. Right from lullabies to romantic music to rock music and soulful music, it has a special place in our hearts. Music not just helps you cope with stress but can actually help in calming your mind and can literally do wonders for you.

Even though there are a plethora of music apps, a major limitation in most of them is that there are a lot of music apps requiring internet connection. Due to poor mobile coverage, exhausted data pack or even while traveling, these internet connection requiring music apps can annoy you to no extent.

That is why I bring you these no wifi music apps that do not require an active internet connection or WiFi. So if you’re a music lover and want to enjoy uninterrupted music, then give these apps a try!

Google Play, a music app by Google, is my top choice for a best offline music app without wifi. This app is for anyone who loves to listen to music for free without wifi. Google play music has a myriad of features to offer and that is why it is our top pick.

This app does it all and then some more. Let me list the features for you –

The basic library lets you stream unlimited songs for a monthly fee of $9.99.

If you’re a free user then you can access a plethora of radio stations which are based on your mood and location.

For a paid member these stations are ad-free and can be downloaded to the phone and that’s how you can play songs even while you’re offline.

If you’re a local music fan, then Google Play Music can be your local library player.

You can even upload your own library on the cloud for free and can listen to those songs and also download the same on any device.

It auto-caches music whenever you go online and saves the songs that you may like automatically.

In addition to your previously saved songs, google play music also plays the auto-cached songs when you hit shuffle while playing songs offline. Be ready for a lovely surprise!

Does Spotify work without WiFi?

Oh Yes!

However, you might want to take a look at what you wouldn’t get in the free version of Spotify before going for it. Downloaded listening isn’t supported by the free version and hence you need to pay a monthly subscription fee of $9.99. If you’re a student then you can have Spotify and Hulu for barely $4.99 per month, which isn’t a bad deal after all.

With a collection of more than 30 million songs, Spotify is a nice app overall and is absolutely free for PC. The feature to download your collection of music, radio stations, etc. make it a good choice.
