Music lovers will be thrilled to hear that the platform offers a 30-day free trial for the premium service. The streaming service is available on Google Play store, the Apple App Store as well as the Microsoft store.
The company added that it also works on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, TVs, and smart speakers.
