You can listen to music as long as you are connected to the Internet. But if you have requirements for sound quality when listening to music, it is recommended to buy MP3. There is no doubt that mp3s sound better than mobile phones. MP3 has an independent decoder, which is hardware decoding, but mobile phones do not have it. I don't have an independent decoder.
