4shared blog

Not only does it enable users to stream live music shows by 4shared users near you, or currently popular in your country, but start your own live stream any time, in a matter of a few clicks.

Variety of live music streams for your selection

The “Music” tab in your 4shared for Android app now has a new section called “Live”, where you can select a currently live music show for instant listening on your device.

Choose a livestream based on your location and/or music preferences, and simply click on it to start listening. In addition, follow your favorite artists to keep up with their updates and check out the new Lives just as they’re launched.
