Music is a common language that unites people - it's pretty much universal - even animals understand it. In that spirit, and since many of us here at Aptoide are musicians or DJs, we felt it made perfect sense to celebrate the Word Music Day by providing you with the best music apps for Android that you can find on Aptoide.
This selection covers several different types of musical apps - from music identification and streaming to music making and even musical social media apps! Sounds good? Time to get funky!

You know when **that song** comes up and you're stuck without knowing what it is? No matter where you are, if you hear a song you like but don’t know, **Shazam is sure to solve the problem**. With Shazam you can simply hold your phone up to identify the track, buy it, and share it with friends. However, you have to play the track for Shazam to identify it – humming won’t cut it..

Really feels like Traktor or some other **professional DJ systems**. If you **get two mobile devices** (preferably with a headphone jack!) you can really **do a live dj mix and even scratch**! If you're okay with automatic beat matching, you can even mix internally using the auto sync and the crossfader. **Really cool for beginner DJs**!
