About Audiomack
Audiomack is a streaming and discovery platform where artists and creators can upload music and podcasts without limits, and listeners can stream for free. Founded in the US in 2012 with a focus on hip-hop mixtapes, it has grown into one of the main streaming services in parts of Africa, with strong Afrobeats, amapiano and Caribbean scenes, as well as gospel, R&B and Latin music. Free listening is ad-supported, and the app supports offline downloads, which suits places with expensive or unreliable mobile data. The Audiomack+ subscription removes ads and adds extra features. For artists it offers free uploads, analytics, monetisation programmes and a guide to growing an audience. Its mainstream catalogue is smaller than Spotify's or Apple Music's, audio quality is lower than lossless services, and outside its core genres discovery is thinner. It runs on the web, iOS and Android.
Best for: Fans of hip-hop, Afrobeats and emerging artists who want free streaming.
