Practical guide: Get the most out of your music app without paying
1. Organize your playlists like a pro
No matter the app: having themed playlists gives each moment its own unique feel. Create playlists like "Energy Cleanse," "Music for Studying," or "Commuting." Give them fun names. It's motivating!
2. Use data saving mode
Most of these free apps consume data when you're not on Wi-Fi. Activate "Wi-Fi only" or "data saver" mode in your settings to avoid surprises on your bill.

3. Discover with algorithms
Spotify and Deezer offer automatic recommendations based on what you listen to. Like your favorite songs to teach the algorithm what kind of music you like.
4. Voice control or from the watch
If you use a smartwatch or virtual assistant, set up playback controls. Asking your watch to play cumbia while you wash the dishes has its charm!
Precautions: What no one tells you about free music apps
We know they're free, but that comes at a price. Eyelash:
– Invasive advertisingSome apps show you ads every two or three songs. Don't open them when you're on a video call or connected to a speaker in public.
– Data privacy: Check the app's permissions. Does it really need access to your location and contacts to play a song?
– Battery consumptionSome apps keep running in the background and drain battery like crazy. Disable features like "auto video" or "background download" if you don't need them.
– Annoying notifications: Turn off alerts for recommendations, new releases, and promotions if they distract or overwhelm you.

And now? Get your music playing and share it!
- Share your playlists with intentionChoose your best playlists and send them directly via link to your friends or family, so they can enjoy music without paying. This way, they can discover your sound without any hassle, and you can receive their suggestions.
- Post on social media with contextWhen sharing what you're listening to, add a brief description: why that song inspires you, what time of day you enjoy it, or what memories it evokes. A post accompanied by that story creates a stronger connection.
- Create and manage collaborative listsInvite colleagues or your group of friends to contribute their favorite tracks to a single playlist. Activate editing permissions and establish a common theme (travel, study, training) so everyone can contribute their own style.
- Use labels and sections: Organize your playlists by mood or genre using built-in hashtags (“1TP5Energy,” “1TP5Relax,” “1TP5Classics”). This makes them easy to navigate and allows you to return to them anytime.
- Take advantage of app integrations: Link your account to your social network or messaging platforms to share instantly without leaving the app. This way, you can keep your music and social streams always connected.
With a free app, all these features are at your fingertips: create, customize, and share a sound universe as unique as you are. Make every note travel further!
