‘Streaming’ gives you access to millions of tracks that you can listen to right away, provided you are connected to the internet. Streaming is a great option for listening to your playlist if you have internet access or use a smartphone.
If you want to carry your playlist around, here’s what you’ll need to get started with streaming:
- Smartphone or tablet
- Access to WIFI or a mobile contract with internet access if you want to access your music everywhere
- Monthly subscription to a music provider (usually around £10/month)*
*You can also have free accounts on some streaming platforms, but these come with adverts between your songs. A free account also does not allow you to listen to your music without an internet connection.
The videos below show you how to make a playlist on two popular streaming platforms: Spotify and YouTube Music.
