Personally, I have always used QQ as my go-to, but the Beijinger's resident music writer, Will Griffith, told me that of the big three, he uses QQ the least. So, what exactly is the difference between these apps and which one best suits your listening habits? We investigate: Music selection and searchability The works of certain artists on the service are also only available through purchase, like Taylor Swift (Swift famously removed her music from Spotify altogether). Rather than offering to cut ads with a premium account, (the model that Spotify follows), these apps tend to restrict the number of songs a subscriber can listen to until they pay up, or provide additional perks like more downloads for offline listening and higher quality streaming. This comes on the back of a music sub-licensing agreement between ByteDance-backed Douyin and Tencent Music, which has a leading position in holding music copyrights.ĭouyin boasts an impressive MAU count of around 400 million, and the cooperation deal with the new music recognition app will increase traffic and engagement with Tencent Music’s formidable content library.Anyone in a WeChat group for music sharing must have noticed that, somewhat annoyingly, people share songs from a range of different apps. While Spotify has thoroughly dominated the music library market in the West, here in China there is not one, but three major players in the online streaming game: QQ Music, NetEase Music, and Xiami. 33: Tencent Music – Totally Not China’s Spotify In addition, the app can run simultaneously in the background while the user is on Douyin, China’s domestic version of TikTok, famous for the use of music in its viral videos.

QQ Music, the music streaming platform owned by Tencent Music Entertainment, launched a new music recognition app for both iOS and Android.
