In what way is Apple Music better than Spotify? I've tried both and, other than catalog differences, I don't see one as really being better than the other.

- sdornan 10y agoI chose Apple Music for a couple reasons: 1. I can add music to my streaming library that is not on their service and that music isn't treated any differently than the stuff in their catalog from a UI standpoint. 2. It integrates better into the Apple ecosystem, which I've already tied myself too. For example, play music using Siri and Apple TV support. Also, I'm not a fan of Spotify's UI.

- abritinthebay 10y agoFor a start: the UI. I know Apple Music gets hate for it's UI but it's nirvana compared to the horrible, grating, death by 1000 papercuts UI that Spotify has. So that contributes a LOT to my impression of Spotify. I find their radio offerings better than Spotify, and the curated playlists to be of higher quality and better variation. The For You tab alone is better than a lot of what I found on Spotify. The importing of my existing library and linking of it into the service with all sorts of metadata made for a seamless experience that I haven't found from any other service either. Basically... it's just a little bit better (for me) in every possible way, while being nicer to use.
- tedmiston 10y agoDoes Apple have an equivalent of Discovery Weekly yet? That's become one of my favorite Spotify features.
