People enjoy playing music since hundred of years ago, some said that the composer tells us what they think through a beautiful lyrics and melodies. Then and now, we listen to music from any channels, for instance, radio or television.
In the 2000s, the world starts moving faster and faster, technology replaces many platforms of the old invention. Radios — TVs — Books — Newspaper — Phones — Watches, all kind of things that are necessary for us then gathered inside little thing called ‘Smartphones’
We can watch a live video in applications such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter or whatever, we can chat with our friends across the country via WhatsApp, Line, Skype, FaceTime, Messenger and we can hear our favorite music by streaming the song online.
In Thailand, two famous application in the field of music streaming service that contains a million of songs in various categories, it is ‘Apple Music’ that is operated worldwide and another one called ‘JOOX’. These two have some simple identical function that they let us explore the world of music freely only just JOOX let us use it for free with limited functions, whilst, we have to pay to activate Apple Music.
Fortunately, in 2017, We all have heard about the another world famous music streaming application SPOTIFY which is a music, podcast, and video streaming service that was officially launched on 7 October 2008. And They are coming to Thailand this year!
COMMONS
Firstly we get to the set-up process. See that all of the above have a well-designed interface.
JOOX: Different categories such as Editor’s Pick, Featured Artists, and New Releases APPLE MUSIC: Library shows you all of the music you have on your device, For you helps you explore new music easier by picking your favorite artist then let the app find you a song you might love.
SPOTIFY: This is why I rank SPOTIFY to be my number one right now. In the set-up section let you picked your favorite artists, then the app takes time to create you the 'WELCOME MIX' which consists of the songs based on the artist you like.
The interface and functions, all of which are neatly organized in such a way that you won’t have any troubles finding what you’re looking for. With the function to help listeners explore more songs without searching.
The Apps wisely created playlists which designed for specific activities, for example, if you are actively running at fitness, they got you a workout playlist, or when you are currently driving on the blank road, they got the playlist that contains a perfect-mood music to be your buddy.
JOOX has specially created the feature 'Karaoke' which any other services did not have. The Music Column is mostly cover the topic of Thai artist more than foreigners.
Apple Music has the mood of a minimal theme but well-organized. Out of three, Apple Music got more icons than any others but the features are kind of the same thing. Strikingly, compare with JOOX, This app has got more genre of music and more variety as we can see when we tap on their respective little icon Radio, such a plenty of categories of songs.
Apple Music, JOOX, and Spotify let you create your own playlist free and easy.
All the streamers have the ‘download’ function. It helps you to save your favorite songs to your own playlist, therefore, next time you want to hear it, you never have to wait for it to download in case your 4G was stubborn.
DIFFERENCES IN RATE
JOOX
As we know, JOOX was the newest kid in the family whose first debuted in Malaysia and get up to the top of charts. JOOX suits with one who mainly interested with Thai music.
"Many new international songs that had already debuted in Spotify and Apple Music are not yet to be found in JOOX. So if you expect to find the latest songs here, you may be disappointed. However lacking it may be compared to the big boys, JOOX’s focus on local contents makes it a compelling choice."
