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?

    Spotify for several years, then Apple for a year, now back to Spotify.

    I’m sort of lazy about music discovery and delegate that to whatever app I’m using. In that respect, Spotify is way better. It offers more variety, the music I get that way seems to be better suited to my preferences. I also like to explore other people’s playlists and Spotify makes that insanely easy compared to Apple. After using Apple for a year, I found myself listening to music a lot less because it kept suggesting the same three dozen songs day in and day out. The algorithm didn’t offer much variety.
