Originally launching as a no-cost, ad-free alternative to other music streaming services, there was a hint that changes would be coming. Back in April, Samsung hinted that there would be a free version of Milk Music that would include ads, and a $4 premium version, which would eliminate them. Now, Samsung has made it official.

Paying $4 a month for Premium Milk will eliminate ads and give you the ability to listen to stations without having a network connection. In addition, Premium subscribers can perform unlimited skips, turn off DJ commentary, and pause Milk Music using a Sleep Timer. The update also includes performance enhancements and bug fixes.

You must have a Samsung account if you are to take advantage of the $4 per month offering. Milk Music remains a U.S.-only service, so if you’re interested in the service and live outside of the United States, you’re out of luck. In addition, Milk Music remains exclusive to select Samsung Galaxy devices.

Since Apple added “spatial audio” to the Apple Music streaming service and the AirPods family of wireless earbuds and headphones in 2021, it feels like you can’t read about new audio products or services without running into that term. And just a few short years later, it’s seemingly everywhere.

This has led to a lot of misconceptions about what spatial audio is, how it works, and why you need to hear it for yourself. People often ask, “If Apple created spatial audio, why are other companies claiming they do it, too?” The answer is that Apple didn’t create it, and you certainly don’t need to own its products to experience spatial audio.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

The best kids headphones of 2024: for fun, safety, and sound
Two kids using the Puro Sound PuroQuiet Plus to watch something on a tablet.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
