T-Mobile stops counting Soundcloud and 13 other music services toward your data cap

Today, T-Mobile announced the addition of 14 more music streaming services to its Music Freedom program, which allows those with Simple Choice plans to stream music from the participating services without it eating away at their data.

Soundcloud, Google Play Music, and Xbox Music are the most notable additions of the bunch, though a few curious omissions prevent the telecom giant from achieving its ultimate goal of adding every music streaming service. While the Apple-owned iTunes Radio was an early participant of the service, its newly-owned Beats Music service has not been added even after its AT&T partnership ended. Google’s new YouTube Music Key is also not yet a part of the service.

If you're a die-hard music fan, you probably keep a curated library of playlists packed with your favorite artists and albums on Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever your favorite music streaming app is. But how do you discover the best indie artists today? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the ‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

While most people will simply flip on the radio or load up Spotify to listen to music, audiophiles like to dig a bit deeper and customize their experience. This often comes in the form of adjustments to the equalizer, which offers the freedom to tweak every aspect of the sound booming out of headphones or speakers. Even some streaming services now have built-in EQs, giving you more ways than ever to play with your music and find something that best fits your ears.

Tinkering with the equalizer can be daunting to newcomers, as there are tons of cryptic settings you can manipulate. And if you mess with the wrong one, your sound quality might take a nasty hit. Thankfully, learning the basics isn't too difficult.
