The internet has changed the way we acquire our music. You don't even have to visit.
Streamers
Sites that let you create a playlist as if you were your own radio jockey....
Gaana
If you're looking for tunes closer to home, you might want to consider Gaana. It boasts of a huge collection of songs in practically every regional language-from Hindi to Kanada and Marathi to Bengali.
A free account lets you create your own playlists, and you can even 'like', comment on, and share songs with friends through Twitter and Facebook.
To discover new music, simply check out the playlists of other members, or tune in to Gaana's myriad radio channels that sort songs based on singers; actors they've been picturised on-and even
by theme or mood. And yes, it also has apps for Android, BB10, iOS and Windows Phone.

The mix tapes we complied in the pre-digital age were our customised playlists: one for when we're driving, one for mellow evenings, yet another for when we were feeling groovy.
Create an account on this service, and you are prompted to create your own mix tapes or add to existing compilations Enter the name of a song, and EMT searches for it on You/Tube and SoundCloud, so you can add the track to your compilation.
When you're done, you can share your virtual tape with everyone else on the site. And if you want a ready mix to suit your mood, simply browse through the "tapes" created by others.

In the old days, if you wanted to listen to a song, you needed to own the vinyl, cassette, CD, or request the track on the radio. Now, simply head to Never Ending playlist or JiggyApe, enter the name of the artist you want to hear, and hit enter.
The site trawls through YouTube and automatically creates a playlist for you. You can choose to watch the accompanying videos, or just let the songs play in the background. Both sites let you listen to your favourite artists for free.
