What's the best music app to use in phone and listen to in a Sena?

[cruisinTX]

My title pretty much says it all. I did an advanced search using "best music app on a phone" that turned up a lot of threads. None of the titles seemed to point me in the right direction so this thread is seeking out first-hand information on what others have used or are using to play music through a comm system. We have the Sena 10S units and feel like they are sufficient for our main purpose of rider to passenger communications.

I mainly use Plex Amp to stream my music library from my home or download playlists if I will be out of coverage areas. I have also used Spotify and Sirius XM app which comes with my Sirius subscription for my car.

Due to riding a lot in areas that lose cell service I use downloaded Apple Music. Once in a while I’ll use SiriusXM or Dash Radio. Many use Spotify or Amazon music. All of which are streaming and only works with cell or WiFi.

In my opinion Pandora has the best playlists that don't repeat as often. And, you can listen ad free for $5 per month. Spotify also works well. I also have about 32gb of music on my phone if cell service is not available.

Spotify, and if no cell I have some music already downloaded on Spotify. Most apps work well at this point in time.

I use Spotify, Amazon Music or Sirius XM. I usually play albums or a motorcycle song list that I've previously downloaded onto the phone so I don't worry about no cell service.

I use iHeartRadio. 99% of the time I have it on Smooth Jazz. I've never had any reception issues in the relatively local area where I travel.

I really like Pandora and If you are getting the paid subscription you can download your play list and you don't have to worry about having wifi. I also like Sirius

Pandora does have an "offline" mode (with paid subscription) when cell service is unavailable. It stores on your phone your 3 most used stations for uninterrupted offline listening. I assume other streaming services have similar functions.

I use an MP3 player that bluetooths to the helmet speakers. I don't normally have the cell phone turned on when riding.

The little MP3 players will take a 32 gig or larger mini-SD chip. I have a collection of music I like. Most of it is 30 to 40 years old at least.

I use XM app on the iPhone.

Now here's a tip, go into setting and unlock your phone so you never need to use your pin or face to unlock it. That way, if you want to change station's you just need to tap the screen and the phone will open and you can change XM stations.... I strongly suggest you do all of this at a traffic light or stop sign. You don't want to be fiddling with your phone while driving. YYMV
