Samsung Music

Music playback for Samsung phones

Samsung Music is a player and library for audio files stored on an Android device or SD card. It is aimed mainly at Samsung phone users who want one place to play and organise their personal music collection, rather than a standalone streaming service.

What it can organise

The library can sort songs by track, album, artist, genre, folder and composer. Supported audio formats include MP3, AAC and FLAC, although the formats available can vary by device. The interface keeps the main playback and library controls straightforward.

• Browse music through several library categories.
• Play audio saved on the phone or a compatible SD card.
• Use the Spotify tab for music recommendations where Spotify operates.

What to know before choosing it

Samsung Music is most useful if your music is already stored locally and you use a Samsung Android device. Spotify recommendations are a separate part of the experience and are not available in every country. Notifications are optional, while access to music and audio storage is needed for the core playback functions.

Grade and reach

Grade: B

With a 3.8 rating from 811,373 reviews, Samsung Music lands in the solid middle band rather than the top tier. Its reach is substantial: the app has more than 1,000,000,000 installs. That scale suggests it is a familiar choice for Samsung owners, though the rating indicates that its fit is not universal.
