Evolution from Cassette Tapes to Podcasts
Everyone has favorite songs they love to listen to in specific moods. In the morning, Fairoz songs are a mood
booster. Heading to the beach? A playlist of Tamer Hosny and Amr Diab songs will give you all-summer vibes. When
the crowd feels like dancing, it's time for Shaaby and Mahrganat songs. And if you want to add some drama with
sad songs, Tamer Ashour's albums have got your back.
Your Guide to music streaming and podcast apps
Before the emergence of music apps, listening to free music required a lot of effort, as people used to wait for
their favorite songs to be broadcasted on the radio or television. Then cassette tapes started and
revolutionized the music industry. Because instead of listening to songs at specific times, the audience could purchase tapes for their favorite singers or compile a mix
of songs on one tape.
After that, the more the technology improved, the more free music became accessible to everyone. But music
streaming apps tailored to all users’ tastes have changed the music production rules and made the audience more
open to listening to all genres of music: Arabic, foreign songs, pop, Hiphop, and rap due to their full
availability.
The number of available music apps is increasing, including free music apps that offer both free and paid
services. For instance: Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Music, Anghami, Anghami Plus, Deezer, and YouTube Music.
Music streaming apps have also expanded their services to include new types of audio content such as "Podcasts”
The podcast is online audio content that can be hosted by one or more presenters. Sometimes it can involve guest
speakers discussing various topics in fields like entrepreneurship, marketing, and science.
Podcast apps like Castbox and Podcasts have started to go viral, and other free music apps such as YouTube Music
have Podcats as well. Spotify and Anghami also function as Podcast players in addition to their music library.
So you can enjoy both your Spotify and Anghami subscriptions.
