With millions of tracks available at the click of a mouse, Spotify offers its audiences tracks for all kinds of occasions on their phones, tablets and computers. However, the major downfall of the music player is its price tag of $9.99 per month, or around $120 a year, for complete access. That’s a pretty steep price for free music on the go. There are several alternatives to the music site. We sought them out, found the best (and most underrated) and included them below.

1. 8tracks

This free music player offers its users thousands of playlists created by others signed up on the site. 8tracks users can search for everything from moods to genres, artists, decades and holidays. Feeling optimistic? There’s a playlist for that. Want to listen to your favorite artists? There’s a playlist for that. There also are sections for trending, popular and new playlists.

2. Songza

Songza is a free streaming service that has playlists for every occasion. The site’s “Music Concierge” offers users playlist suggestions to listen to for what one might be doing during that time of day. For example, on a Sunday night the Music Concierge suggests “Studying (no lyrics),” “Bedtime” and “Unwinding.” Users can also browse by activities, genres, moods and decades. The music player is available on all mobile, tablet and web devices.

3. SoundCloud

SoundCloud is made for users to upload and share their own music. It is especially popular amongst upcoming artists wanting to share their music to a larger audience. One cool factor of the station is the comments users can place along the track stating parts they do or do not like. Users can follow artists, share music and create playlists.

4. Earbits

Another free streaming music site, Earbits offers users the best of independent music from across the world. Each song includes a photo, live show information, band merchandise and connections to Facebook and Twitter. There are no commercials that interrupt music streaming either. The music on the site is specific though, offering independent tracks that are unavailable elsewhere and excluding the top tracks in the nation.

5. This Is My Jam

The site is just what it sounds like. Users of This Is My Jam chose one song they cannot get out of their head to personalize and share with others for seven days. Users can follow other users and play their jams in one place. It is meant to “add discretion” to music sharing by making users chose only one song to share at a time.

6. Noon Pacific

Noon Pacific is a weekly playlist of songs picked from music blogs delivered to users’ inboxes every Monday at Noon Pacific Time. The playlist contains 10 of the best and newest songs of the week. Users can also access over 100 previously published playlists to listen to. The downfall of the site and mobile app is its limited content. However, users believe in quality over quantity with this one.

7. Upbeat

This Reddit look-alike is almost a year old. Upbeat is a new user-generated music chart. Each track can be voted up or down by each user and tracks move in the ranks based on these votes. Users can listen to all tracks or popular songs in genres and subgenres. The site works with SoundCloud where any user can upload a track to be voted on.

8. FratMusic

This last music player is for all you frat stars out there. FratMusic features playlists submitted by college students across the country that are then curated by the site’s team in the popular, featured and newest tabs. The playlists are sorted into subcategories like “Rage” and “MERICA” where users can access the top tracks there. The downfall is the onetime payment to remove ads for forever.
