While I do advise that you should give Apple Music a try, at least everyone in the debate can agree on one thing - don’t use Amazon Music. Whichever platform you choose to listen from isn’t life or death. Apple Music now offers the same thing, called Apple Music Replay. Whereas this might not bother some, device and user navigation is an extremely important factor when determining which streaming service is in your app history.Īnd don’t get me started on Spotify Wrapped, a yearly report of its users’ top played songs. Why would I want to have to do extra work just to listen to music? Complicating your application just makes its user have to put in more effort.

On the other hand, Spotify only has library, search and home options for its layout - making you have to dig for exactly what you are looking for. While offering your standard library and search button, Apple Music also has a Listen Now, Browse and Radio option. In addition to stellar sound quality, Apple Music’s format of the app is extremely user friendly and gives its listeners various different opportunities to explore its features. In other words, this sound quality restores data from an original source file - hence making the sound more crisp than ever. Over a year ago, Apple Music upgraded its user listening experience by offering lossless compression, per Apple’s website. You have a choice: to use the best quality sound or one that is not as advanced. Picture this: you just put on your noise-canceling headphones and are about to listen to that new song everyone has been raving about. Now, if a large selection of songs won’t persuade you enough, Apple Music’s sound quality and user layout sure will. And while Spotify has been in the music streaming industry since 2006, its capped 80 million songs simply can’t live up to the fruit-shaped streaming service that officially launched back in 2015. With over 100 million songs in the database, Apple Music offers users a vast selection of tracks to listen to worldwide. Apple Music is nothing like it used to be with its old iTunes store, it’s better.


Before all of you that remain on the bandwagon of Spotify decide to throw virtual tomatoes at me - I have my reasons.Īs a fan of listening to music (with or on) Apple dating back to my first pink iPod Nano in the late 2000s, there are various distinguishable advantages to using the platform in comparison to Spotify. While I am one for hot takes, there is only one real answer here and it is Apple Music. To Apple Music or to Spotify - or in other words, the debate of the digital century.
