The most eye-catching feature of JOOX is Lyrics. Lyrics is useful for people who love Karaoke and sometimes forgets the lyric of a song they are listening to. The way Lyrics work is by highlighting every phrases one by one.

The higher streaming quality a song is playing, the more enjoyable you are. However, you must also pay attention to your data usage.

Inside My Music, you can view all your playlists, favourite, downloaded, and imported songs.

Web Version

While you are working on your PC/Laptop, you can open JOOX website to stream your favourite music. When you open other pages of JOOX website, the songs won’t stop and continue playing. However, not all mobile app features are available on web version.

Play Queue

Play Queue is a queue where your upcoming and played songs are listed. I found this only available on Web Version.

VIP account

You will meet a VIP sign beside a song title. It means the song requires VIP account. VIP account is premium account. So, if you want to have a VIP account, you must buy it. However, you can get it for free. How ? Just get up to date to the JOOX newsboard. For example, A news that tell you if you want to have a VIP account for a day, share a song to Facebook and WeChat.

So, what are you waiting for ? Let’s download the app for your device. It is available on Android, iOS, and Web Version. The availability of JOOX is only in Indonesia, Malaysia, Hongkong, and China. That’s all about JOOX, the complete and legal music streaming apps.
