Frequently Asked Questions
How much data does streaming music use?
It depends heavily on the quality. Standard quality (96 kbps) uses about 40 MB per hour. High quality (160 kbps) uses about 70 MB per hour. Very high quality or lossless audio (320 kbps or higher) can use 140 MB or more per hour.
Does downloading songs for offline use save data?
Yes, absolutely. Downloading playlists or albums over Wi-Fi is the best way to save your mobile data. Once downloaded, the music plays from your device's storage and uses no data.
