If I look back, it is difficult for me to remember a time when I did not have a mobile phone or an MP3 player to listen to music anywhere. Long gone are the times when we had to buy an expensive player to listen to our favorite songs and today we carry these players on our mobile devices. But how can we listen to free music? Or what would be better: how can we download free music on Android?
I'll say it a thousand times: the good thing about opening Android is that it allows us to do practically anything. And the best thing is that the way to do these things we often have in the form of an application that is in the official Android application store, Google Play. In this article or we will talk about several of these programs to download free music, as well as we will teach you other tricks so that you can enjoy music on your Android device and without spending a single euro.
How to listen to free music on Android
Spotify
Spotify is the king of streaming music and it is for something. One of the reasons may be that it offers a free mode. It is true that it has certain limitations, but it is always better than nothing. Both in its paid version and in the free mode, you always have to take Spotify into account.
Google Play Music
Google Play Music offers us the possibility of upload up to 50.000 songs for free that later we will be able to reproduce in any device. Of course, we have to upload it ourselves; it will not allow us to listen to free streaming music that we have not previously uploaded. But, in any case, I have to say that I thought I had a very large multimedia library, I don't think I have 5.000 songs on my hard drive, 10.000 being very generous, so Google Play Music allows me to have my own Spotify , to call it somehow.
YouTube Music
An application that will allow us to listen to music for free is Youtube music. How many times have we wanted to share a song with someone and have sent a link to YouTube? Well, this application could be seen as something similar, but we would be the one who would listen to the music from the searches we did ourselves.
YouTube Music is an official YouTube client (from Google itself) designed for musical use. Like the video service, this application is completely free.
What if I can pay for my music?
The options are practically the same as the previous ones but, of course, even better. As I said before, you always have to keep Spotify in mind, but we don't have to forget about Apple Music, Apple's streaming music service that, if we take off our shirt, we have to admit that it has quite interesting exclusive content.
Both Spotify and Apple Music are priced at € 9,99 per month, a price that may seem high but is far from it for those of us who love music. I would like to make it clear that I am talking about these two options because they are the ones that have the best balance between catalog, quality and availability.
The best applications to download free music on Android
Before starting, I would like to say the usual in these cases: the applications that I am going to provide you They are not on Google Play. This means that they have not passed any security control and it is possible that you install something violated. It is not the most likely, but I warn that each one is responsible for their actions.
That said, in order to install software from outside of Google Play, you have to go to the security settings of the Android device and allow the installation of applications from Unknown origins. Like me, the device will warn you that you run the risk of installing malicious applications. Now, I am going to tell you about the best applications to download music on Android.
TinyTunes
Perhaps the most famous application that will allow us to download music from an Android device is TinyTunes. From TinyTunes we can search through tons of songs, download them and play them in what I would say is a Spotify in almost every rule. The downside is that it doesn't allow us to listen to the song before downloading it, but you can't have everything, right?
Of all the applications for download music from an Android device, I think the best is TinyTunes, it's definitely worth a try.

MusicManiac - MP3 Downloaer
Another application that allows download songs from Android it's MusicManiac. It seems to me that it is less attractive and functional than the previous one, but it is always worth having several options available and in the MusicManiac archive we can find a lot of content. Of course, I think that the first option always has to be the previous application.

Tunes Music Downloader
GTunes is another very famous application, but I have never finished liking it. In any case, if so many users like it, it will be for something and surely that something is because they find what they are looking for. From what I have tested, the application takes its time to show the results and I am not someone known for being very patient, at least with this type of software.

Any Torrent client
If something works, why change? The Torrent network is very reliable and from it we can find all kinds of content. As Google Play is not like other more restrictive application stores, in the official Android store we have clients of the Torrent network such as BitTorrent or uTorrent. Taking into account the last movements of the second option, I would recommend installing BitTorrent.
To download any torrent with this type of client we will have to do a search on the internet. There are web pages like Kickass Torrents who take care of the task for us. All we have to do is enter one of these websites, do a search, download the Torrent and run it, which will open it up in our Torrent client and start downloading. I said: if something works, why change it?
How to download free MP3 music from YouTube
This is something that is always worth having as an option. Just as there are applications that use YouTube to allow us to listen to music, we can also download the songs from the Google video platform. There are lots of ways to download music from youtube, but I am going to recommend two.
YouTube Downloader
YouTube Downloader for Android is a very good application, as well as intuitive, that will allow us to download videos or audio from YouTube. Although there are already many applications on Google Play that are similar (not the same, far from it), YouTube Downloader It is not in the official application store, so you have to remember what I said above. In any case, I have tried it and it is worth it if you want to download music or YouTube videos from Android in the best possible way. It works in the following way:
1. We open YouTube Downloader and perform a search as we would from any other application.
2. From the options that we see, if what we want is to download the audio that is what this article is about, we choose MP3 (or any other audio format that could be shown to us).
3. We confirm the download by tapping on «Download here».
4. We wait for the download to finish and that's it. YouTube Downloader also allows us to play the file without leaving the application.

From the browser
This is one of my favorite YouTube hacks. As you all know, the YouTube URL is youtube.com, right? Well, to download music (or the entire video) from YouTube from any browser that allows us to download files we will do the following:
1. We go to YouTube and look for the video that contains the audio that we want to download.
2. The URL has to be something like www.youtube.com/aquíladescriptiondelvideo and to that URL we have to make a small modification, adding in front of youtube.com some of the following options (always without the quotation marks):
to. SS: it would be something like https://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=3rFoGVkZ29w and it would take us to the Save From Net website. The bad thing is that this website does not allow us to download the audio in MP3.
b. DLV: this takes us to TubeNinja and from here we can download the music in MP3 if we wish.
c. LATAA: this page also allows us to download the music in MP3, but it is in a language that I cannot tell you what it is. The point is that it works and allows you to download the videos in AVI format, something that other websites do not allow, and also its audio in MP3.
3. Once we start the download, we wait and, when it is finished, we can play the audio from the application we prefer and, from a file manager, we can save it wherever we want.
