MUSIC SERVICES FOR MOBILE PHONES


Music services for mobile phones suck quickly empty data rates. Bild am Sonntag has measured it, how much consume megabytes per hour the songs.
Our own favorite music anytime and anywhere in the Smartphone software: the promise streaming and cloud services like Spotify and Google Cloud Music.
But quickly from music data is lust frustration when you realize that the song service in the shortest time the data plan to force the phone to its knees. Since most tariffs contain only 300 megabytes monthly transfer volume.
A lot who have played some services in three hours. Bild am Sonntag has compared which of the services consumed as much data.
Basically there are two different ways to have your favorite music always available.
On the one hand cloud music services like Apple's iTunes Match, Amazon's Cloud Player and Google's Cloud Music. Here is their music on home PCs uploaded to the network, then there is available for mobile devices. Therefore in most of a fee of about € 25 is charged annually, only Google offers free music cloud.
The data saving interested in doing any of the vendors: With iTunes Match, any song sent in high quality mobile phone (256 kbit / s AAC), an hour of music beats so with over 100 MByte to book. Amazon and Google use similar sound quality, consume almost as much data.
The second way is to mobilize music streaming services like Spotify, Simfy, Sony Music Unlimited, Rdio or Xbox Music. Here for a monthly subscription fee, usually to about ten euros, millions of songs can be heard via streaming.
The data usage is different: Spotify allows users to choose whether they want to stream with 96, 160 or 320 kbit / s. An hour of music uses audible at 96 kbit / s only 43 megabytes.
Sony is the most economical. Using format (48 kbit / s AAC) approved only about 20 megabytes per hour Xbox Music however, requires about 80 megabytes per hour (192 kbit / s WMA), and Rdio Simfy consume more than 100 megabytes.
The bottom line does not keep his promise of infinite supplier music enjoyment on the go. Because even the most economical service sets after 15 hours lame one common data plan. The USB cable is, except for a special rate of Spotify Telekom (EUR 39.95 per month) that is still the safest way to let go sonicate permanently.
