The free application is available for library cardholders and can be downloaded in the Apple® App Store and Google® Play store.
“Freegal® is kind of like Spotify® or Apple® Music—where you can create playlists and stream music. I often find that Freegal® Music also helps me discover new artists and recall songs that I have long forgotten. Freegal® [also] allows me to go back and rediscover those songs and artists that I wasn’t ready to discover then but am now—sometimes on librarian-curated playlists! I use this service almost every day!”

“We have been waiting a long time for a service like this that delivers great music, compatibility with lots of devices and simplicity of use. We think this will be incredibly popular with our patrons and will help the library in marketing all its services to the community.”
