Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.

  • for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that’s based on “continue playing” from current playlist.

  • for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.

in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great

  • Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
  • Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me

What are your thoughts?

    YouTube Music. Apple Music and Spotify are both technically better products, but YouTube Music is free with YouTube Premium and so I can save on a music subscription.

    Before I made that call I had picked Spotify as it gave me access to a web player, and just worked better on my Google Home speakers.

      I went between Spotify and Apple Music a few times, both are better than YouTube Music. Though once YouTube premium became available in my country it was a no-brainer to switch. I was always going to get YT Premium and especially get a free music streaming service on the side.

      I guess it’s not too bad individually at 11.99 for one person. At 23.99 for two people it’s expensive. My main complaint with yt music is how bullheaded they are about silly things. For example, you can’t play the self titled “Rage against the machine” album on the web view at all, because it has no handler for “self harm content”. The content being the album art which they show np.
