Bars are drawn to scale by bitrate. Lossless streams vary by track: the solid part is a typical stream, the hatched part the most it can use. Data figures are the most an hour of streaming uses (sample figures).

Made for listening to whole albums

Records play in the order the artist chose, without gaps between tracks, and every track shows who played on it.

Questions before you switch

Will I hear the difference with lossless?

With good wired headphones or speakers in a quiet room, many people do; on earbuds on a bus, most do not. Try the same album on High and on Lossless and decide for yourself.

How much mobile data does it use?

On the Normal default, about 72 MB an hour. The ladder at the top of this page shows every quality; you can set mobile data and Wi-Fi separately.

Can I bring my playlists from another app?

Yes. Settings, Import playlists reads a link or a file from most streaming apps and matches the tracks we have (sample).

What happens to my downloads if I cancel?

They stay until the end of the month you paid for, then the app removes them. Your playlists and library stay.

Is there a free trial?

Plus and Studio have a one-month free trial for new accounts (sample). Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
