While streaming music will probably not eat up as much data compared to streaming videos, if you were to stream music all day, chances are it will end up eating a pretty huge chunk of your data. If you are on unlimited data plans then we guess this shouldn’t really be much of an issue, but if you have a data cap you could run into issues before the month is out.
This is precisely the problem that T-Mobile’s Music Freedom service is hoping to avoid, and the good news is that the program has recently added 11 new music streaming services to its support list. This includes SomaFM, Spinrilla, Aud.io, and TuneIn Premium just to name a few, so if you are using any of these 11 services, you can go ahead and use it and not worry about data consumption.
For those who are unfamiliar with the program, basically T-Mobile’s Music Freedom allows users to stream music from supported platforms without it eating their data. So far there are several big names on board the program like Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Rhapsody, and so on.
To date, T-Mobile is boasting that there are 44 music streaming services that are supported by the carrier’s Music Freedom program, so safe to say that even if you don’t stream using any of the major services, you should be able to find your platform amongst the list.
