Like YouTube, the music version has an ad-supported free version and a premium tier. The monthly subscription drops the commercials and unlocks features like background playing and downloads. Whether you pay or not, you can choose to watch music videos instead of only listening to songs. Listeners who have memberships to YouTube Premium receive the upgraded version of YouTube Music automatically. MediaMonkey has different browsing modes for albums, classical composers, podcasts, and audiobooks. It also has a full-featured MP3 tag editor supporting multiple genres for a single track. For a small, one-time fee, you can upgrade to the Pro version and sync your music collection with a PC over Wi-Fi, browse by folders, and more. The PC version of MediaMonkey is also great and worth using to sync your music collection. It can also be used to download podcasts you subscribed to. The app isn’t as polished as YouTube Music. For example, when you select a genre, you’re presented with a complete list of all songs in that genre, which can make browsing difficult if you have a large collection. If you don’t want to pay for a streaming service, but you have a Prime subscription, it’s worth looking at Prime Music. It may also be worth a look if you use Alexa for voice commands on your Android device.
