On the free plan you can create playlists and share them with friends, but you must stay online to listen. If you upgrade to Premium, you can download music for offline listening and there are no adverts. Premium also lets you invite one friend to listen to the same playlist at the same time, even if they are in a different place. The app works best on phones, and it is simple to use for beginners. Students get a discount, but the free plan does not include downloads, so travellers may need to pay.","SoundWave Free & Premium",{"text":10,"title":11},"StudyStream Lite is built for students who need background music while working. It has many focus playlists, calm electronic music, and long mixes that play for hours without stopping. A special “Low Data” button reduces sound quality a little so it uses less internet, which helps on public Wi‑Fi or when the connection is weak. You can also choose “No distractions” mode, which hides pop-up messages and music videos. The service is paid, but it is cheaper than many premium apps. It does not focus on sharing playlists or family profiles.","StudyStream Lite",{"text":13,"title":14},"HomeHarmony Family is made for households that share speakers. One payment covers up to six people, and each person has their own profile, so recommendations stay personal. Parents can turn on a Kids Mode for younger users, blocking songs with bad language and limiting search results. The service connects easily to most smart speakers and TVs, and you can switch music between rooms. Downloads are available, but many families use it mainly at home on Wi‑Fi. There are no adverts on the family plan. It is not the cheapest option for a single student living alone.","HomeHarmony Family",{"text":16,"title":17},"VideoBeats is a music and video platform where you can watch live concerts, interviews, and music clips. It is fun for people who like seeing their favourite artists, and it includes a comments section and fan pages. However, the service is not designed for listening with the phone screen off unless you pay extra. Downloads are only available on the most expensive plan. The sound quality is normal, not high-end, and adverts appear before most videos. It is best for entertainment at home, not for quiet studying or offline travel.","VideoBeats",{"text":19,"title":20},"BudgetTune offers a very cheap student price if you can prove you are in school or college. It has no adverts on the student plan, and you can download playlists for offline listening. However, you cannot share a playlist for two people to listen together at the same time, and there are no family profiles. Recommendations are simple and mostly based on the most popular songs. The app works on phones and laptops, and it is easy to set up. It is a good deal for one person, but not for groups.","BudgetTune Student Plan",{"text":22,"title":23},"ChordCloud is designed for people who play instruments. While you listen, you can open the lyrics and see easy guitar chords on the screen. There are also short practice playlists like “Three songs to learn this week” and “Classic rock riffs”. It works well on laptops and tablets, and you can connect it to a printer to print lyrics for your music folder. ChordCloud has no offline mode, because it is mainly for home practice. The service has a small monthly cost and no adverts. It is not the best choice for families with young children.","ChordCloud",{"text":25,"title":26},"RadioMix Live is closer to online radio than a normal streaming service. You pick a style of music and it plays a never-ending stream chosen by a DJ. It is great for discovering new songs, but you cannot choose a specific album, and you cannot create your own playlists. There is a free version with many adverts. It also uses a lot of data because the stream never stops, so it is not ideal for people with limited internet. There is no offline listening. If you want control, this is not the right service.","RadioMix Live",{"text":28,"title":29},"HiFi+ is for listeners who care about every detail in the music. It offers very high-quality audio and special settings for good headphones and speakers. There are no adverts, and you can choose “studio sound” for many albums. The app also has a strong discovery page that suggests new artists based on your listening history, not just the charts. HiFi+ costs more than most services, but many users say the sound is worth it. It includes offline downloads, but it is mainly advertised to people who listen carefully rather than casually.","HiFi+","Choosing a Music Streaming Service",[32,35,38,41,44],{"name":33,"text":34},"Noah","Noah is very serious about sound quality and listens with expensive headphones. He wants the best audio possible and hates adverts. He also likes exploring new artists, so he wants good suggestions based on what he already listens to.",{"name":36,"text":37},"Leo","Leo is learning the guitar and wants to improve by reading song lyrics and seeing simple chords. He likes rock and wants playlists that help him practise. He uses a laptop at home and doesn’t need to download music.",{"name":39,"text":40},"Maya","Maya is a careful spender and wants a free service. She doesn’t mind hearing adverts, but she needs to download playlists because she often travels where there is no internet. She mostly listens on her phone and would like to share one playlist with her best friend.",{"name":42,"text":43},"Aisha","Aisha studies a lot and wants music that helps her focus. She likes calm playlists and long mixes that keep playing without her choosing every song. She often uses public Wi‑Fi, so she wants a service that uses little data and works well even with a weak connection.",{"name":45,"text":46},"Sofia","Sofia and her parents want one account for the whole family. They need separate profiles so everyone gets their own recommendations. Sofia also wants strong controls for her little brother, so he only hears child-friendly music. They mostly listen on a smart speaker at home.","A group of classmates want to choose the perfect music streaming service. Read the five descriptions of people.
