Now… Listening to music is one of the few things I do on a daily basis. Whenever I’m happy, sad, or even bored, I put my headphones on. So, having an app that can let me listen to music whenever and wherever I am is a necessity. Here’s the thing: There will be dead spots, you will run out of data, or you’ll probably be at a place where Wi-Fi isn’t available. The good thing is, Google Play Store has apps that will let you download and listen to music even if you’re offline, for free. Nifty, right? So, are you one of those who downloaded, got dismayed, and uninstalled one music app? Is it because it has promised one thing and delivered another, has too many ads, or is too difficult to navigate? Most of us did. But, worry no more. Because we have collated a list of Android offline music apps that stood out among the others. These apps are completely free (although they are ad-supported) and you definitely don’t need to be a premium member to enjoy your music.
