16 Best Music Apps That Don’t Use Wifi or Mobile Data

I'm sure that there are days when you get frustrated about not being able to download music or songs off the internet. These apps will not require a Wi-Fi connection, but the best part is that they won't even consume any of your mobile data.

Another great thing about these apps is the fact that they don't limit the number of times you can skip a song and still provide ad-free music.

This is ideal for users who are looking for something to help them discover new genres, artists, or songs according to their preferences.

If you want to make use of these apps and songs offline, then making a good internet connection is all you need.

These are 16 music applications you can use without internet:

1 . Sound Cloud

Sound Cloud is a community of artists, bands, podcasters & creators of music & audio.

You can discover more than 80 million songs, podcasts & remixes. You can also create your own sounds right from within the app or upload your existing content.

Sound Cloud is available for both iOS and Android users, unlike other applications which are only available on one platform.

However, there are limits to what you can do with the free account. For instance, uploading only allows you to upload once every three hours, and you can only have two people collaborating on one piece of work.
