But there are lots of other great add-on music apps out there just waiting to help you discover new artists or enjoy forgotten favorites. The popular Pandora app is also available for free download on Amazon Appstore for BlackBerry users. There’s no built-in streaming capability, but you can fix that in about two minutes with a third-party app.
The Music app that comes with the latest BlackBerry phones has a multitude of options including playlist creation and listening to local FM radio stations. But most of the time I listen to streaming radio stations or music services, probably the most popular option nowadays (versus downloading tracks, which is so 2010). Personally, I sometimes use my BlackBerry for “brainwave entertainment” - pulsing isochronic tones that help me focus on tasks such as writing this blog. (Older age brackets listen less, but even a respectable 21% of people 50 or older like to rock out with their smartphones.) In fact, 64% of adults 18 to 29 use their smartphones to listen to music or podcasts. Plugging in some headphones and listening to music on our smartphones can help relax, inspire or focus us.
Apparently, the battery has something to do with getting more work done, not your weekend soundtrack. Why do BlackBerry smartphones have such awesome battery life? To listen to music, of course! (Wait … what? I’ve just been told that streaming music is not the main reason for BlackBerry devices coming with great battery life.
