| The Best Streaming Music Apps for Your Drive |
| Your Drive Needs Music! |
| Remember sitting in your car flipping through hundreds of CDs? Or you might even remember fumbling for that one cassette tape that could have sworn you stashed in the glove box. Well listening to music in your car has come along way and now the whole world of music is at your fingertips inside your smartphone. |
|
| Here are a few of the most popular apps on the market. |
| No matter how you’ve integrated your smartphone into your car (you haven’t? we can help with that!) there are a variety of IOS and Android music apps for you to choose from, and here are just a few: |
| SiriusXM |
| Subscribers say that once they have it, they can’t drive without it. The high quality commercial-free music, talk, and sports programming that the satellite radio service has become known for is now also available through the SiriusXM Internet Radio app. Whether you’re getting it from space or streaming it though 4G, SiriusXM does come with a small subscription fee; but, when you use the traditional satellite radio through a SirisuXM-enabled system, it won’t eat up your mobile data and you can get it anywhere—even 200 miles offshore! |

| Pandora |
| One of the most popular internet radio services, Pandora uses an algorithm to create streaming radio stations customized to your taste. Users can choose to listen to periodic advertising with the free version or use the paid version to remove the ads and up the quality. Because Pandora is compatible with so many aftermarket stereo systems, it’s a great option for controlling your music safely and easily via your dash. |

|
| Spotify |
| With its 20 million+ song library, Spotify is great for the user that prefers to choose exactly what he or she wants to listen to. Just like Pandora, Spotify features a free version with ads and a premium ad-free version. It also has a radio station feature that utilizes an algorithm to help you create custom stations for the times when you’re not in the mood to choose a song. |

| iHeartRadio |
| The beauty of iHeartRadio is in its simplicity. The iHeartRadio app uses your mobile data to stream local AM/FM radio stations from anywhere on the globe. Even though the apps controls are basic and easy, drivers can get an even more seamless experience in the car by using the iHeartAuto app for aftermarket stereo system. |

| For Those Who Still Love Your AM/FM Radio... |
 |
| If you still love your AM/FM radio but want the best listening experience possible, an HD Radio enabled receiver is a great choice. HD Radio technology is a static and fuzz free digital broadcast of your local AM/FM stations. Many of your favorite stations broadcast a digital signal that allows you access to additional features that show up right on your display like live traffic, song titles, album art, and station information -- all of which wouldn't exist on an Analog signal. |
