Streaming music

‘Streaming’ gives you access to millions of tracks that you can listen to right away, provided you are connected to the internet.

Streaming is a great option for listening to your playlist if you have internet access or use a smartphone.
If you want to carry your playlist around, here’s what you’ll need to get started with streaming:

  • Smartphone or tablet for listening on the go. You can also listen at home using a computer or smart speaker.
  • Access to WIFI or a mobile contract with internet access if you want to access your music everywhere
  • Monthly subscription to a music provider. That usually around £10/month. You can also have free accounts on some streaming platforms but these come with adverts between songs and don’t allow you to listen to your music without an internet connection.

The videos below show you how to make a playlist on two popular streaming platforms: Spotify and YouTube Music.
