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?

    I’m on Spotify, but I’d really love to switch to Apple Music for the better sound quality and to stop paying for dumb podcasts I don’t want. The one think keeping me on Spotify is connect. Apple doesn’t have anything comparable. I can be playing music on my Sonos and controlling it from my PC. I can seamlessly transfer what I’m listening from my iPhone to my car. It’s a huge quality of life feature.

      and the problem with this is that Apple will never have this, because Spotify has patent on it and only Spotify will have such feature.

      On the other hand, Spotify doesn’t play nice with the Apple ecosystem. HomePod integration is non-existent for example.

      I use Spotify because it has everything I want in terms of music and I’ve used it forever but I’d really like decent HomePod integration at some point.

      Unlikely but a man can dream right?

      Airplay works that way, but unfortunately it’s only for Apple devices.

        Airplay does not work that way. If I AirPlay to a speaker from my phone I can’t control the music from my MacBook, let alone my PC. I can’t AirPlay music from my MacBook to my phone or viceversa. It’s totally not comparable.

      I’m shocked apple doesn’t have this. In fact their services across the board are sub par. Yet still my default because I feel stuck there with my old music library from pre streaming era full of songs that won’t be on streaming services, making Spotify no good for me
