Play That Funky Music!

Call me crazy, but I think Google has the best music app in the world. Google Play Music is my top pick after months of research and testing. It was a surprising conclusion given how little people talk about the app and how much people talk about its competition. Google Play Music is available in a $10 on-demand version and a free radio version. The on-demand version goes head-to-head with Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, and others. The free version competes with Spotify, Pandora, and others. When you load the app, you’ll see a selection of moments it thinks are relevant based on your habits, with each of those moments opening up to a selection of music based on your tastes. No other app comes close at contextually personalized recommendations. For now, Spotify’s main tab, called Browse, shows the same selection of playlists to everyone, with only minor adjustments for time of day. Apple Music and others are even further behind. It's just one more thing that Google is quietly revolutionizing! 10/10
