These are the best places to listen to Pakistani and Indian songs online:

Patari

Patari is the most social-media savvy music streaming website in Pakistan today. But that’s not its only claim to fame.

The Pakistani-owned music site is also at the forefront of promoting undiscovered artists, with them regularly featuring tracks by the best music talent that Pakistan has to offer. Oh and lest we forget, they also do expertly curated music playlists and mobile apps, both of which make em the Pakistani answer to Spotify.

Taazi

Billed as Pakistan’s first legal music website and app, Taazi is the venture of ex-Awaz singer Haroon and EMI Music, the largest Pakistani distributor of music.

EMI Pakistan owns the rights to many of the evergreen hits from the yesteryears. So if you are looking to get your fix of nostalgia, Taazi might be just the music platform you need. Of course, the site also features new and current music as well.

Taazi also comes with mobile apps and you can check them out here.

Saavn

Saavn is an American digital distributor of English and Indian music that is available in all countries. The company takes its slogan ‘no work, all play’ quite literally, offering free music search and streaming for its 13 million users (since March 2015).

You can start listening to songs at Saavn here.

Gaana

This one’s for those who like their music listening to be gapless (the next song preloads, ensuring smooth transition between songs). For those who like their music catalog full of quintessential Bollywood hits, you can’t go wrong with Gaana.com.

Gaana is available for web and mobile, and also comes with deep social media integration for those who want it.
