There are a thousand and one ways to listen to our favorite music on your mobile or tablet. Streaming music from platforms like Spotify and the like is fine, but sometimes you don't feel like searching for playlists and choosing songs every two or three.
Both for these cases, and for those mentioned in the entry of the post, we have a good handful of radio apps for Android. And remember: many terminals still include the internet FM radio app installed by default. Basic but functional like few others. Do not lose sight of it!
