Streaming Music

Ever since I got my first Canadian unlimited data plan, I started using music streaming more in the car. Tried a few different services till I landed in something I love. Dash Radio is an American service that you should have a look at. 

It's a service similar to that of Siriusxm. One difference is it's 100% online. Oh I can't forget that it's FREE. You get a bunch a artist/band curated live radio stations. Doesn't matter if your a fan of Snoop Dogg or Kylie Jenner, there is something for you. 

So your wondering what's the catch? How is it free? Car manufacturers and cable providers pay Dash to use it as a premium music service. It's usually included with your cable (US only) or car premium service if offered. 

I been streaming free country radio on their station Tailgate Radio. Love their Hip Hop and RNB station The City. Some stations are purely automated while others have live host. Most but not all run on a west coast schedule as many stations are in California. 

Do you need an account to listen? No you don't, but if you want to set presets you will need an account. Music quality is by far the best in the streaming industry. Is it better then Siriusxm? Yes and no as it depends what type of artist stations your looking for. Is it smiler to Siriusxm even though it's free? Yes it's hard to say which service is better. If you are on a budget but still want quality service, then Dash Radio is the way to go. 

Dash Radio is available for both iOS and Android. It's available in both Canada and the US.
