Music downloads constitute a major part of what most of the users tend to do on their smartphones. Using a reliable and trustworthy service or app for the purpose is a lot more important. There are a large number of third-party sites and apps that promise to fulfil your needs, but in the practical sense, it is quite scary to use them. Many of them tend to be illegal and may violate copyright restrictions. Let me bring out a few good music downloadable apps that help you in this regard.
1. GAANA
It is one of the most vibrant music streaming services out there. It does have a good UI. It is one of the wells-designed services among the competitors.
The service is available on almost all major platforms. There is also a social layer to the app which lets you check out what your friend are listening to at the moment.
The playlist tends to be a bit buggy though you have access to a god library.
The subscription charges are Rs. 120 per month on iOS and Rs.99 per month on Android.
Hungama
Hungama started off meekly but been able to improve a lot over the last one year. The Android app has been beefed up with a new look. The similar changes will be available on iOS as well soon.
You have a consistently large music library. The service is available in five languages. In fact, Hungamais the best in town for the Indian music. However, it fails to have a better international music collection. The interface needs a greater overhauling.
The app is available on almost all major platforms. The pricing is similar to Gaana at Rs. 120 on iOS and Rs. 110 on Android.

10. Omega MP3 Download Free
One of the popular music downloaded for Android though it does not match the ones sited above. You can listen to the music of your choice through the app. You also have the option to download it.
It does have a search option too so that you can search for a track that you wish to and then listen to it or download it through the app
However, the app seems to have been taken off from Google Play Store recently. Though I am not sure of the reason, you can search for the apk link by searching for the app.
Well, that was a small list of Music Download Apps that are more legal in nature. I know there are plentiful of apps promising to do the same for you in the app store, but most of them tend to be spurious. I would advise you to be cautious with such apps.
WrapUp
In fact, almost all of those mainstream music streaming and download services seem to be almost identical to each other. Gaana and Wynk tend to be better placed by a whisker though. Please note that none of these apps will allow you to download music without a subscription. All ten apps featured above have a great interface except Hungama which needs to do something with its interface to stay in the competition.
