It's interesting to consider how commodified music streaming has become. I'd be interested to see how many people actually have any kind of loyalty to one platform over the other, or if their choice is more reflective of which one fulfills one or two preferential details better in this relative moment. Thinking about my personal choice, I choose Spotify over apple music because I like the library interface better. I also used Apple Music exclusively from launch until two years ago because I previously had a large local library of my own through iTunes. Both are great services, but once I transitioned into a fully streamed library, Spotfiy became more appealing to me for smaller and smaller reasons. My impression is that with the ubiquity of streaming and general consistency of quality, preference largely becomes a product of what platform is the most readily available. While I am fairly staunch in my preference for Spotify at the moment, but I am not sympathetic to their position against Apple's terms. I fully acknowledge that not all apps that operate in Apple's ecosystem are treated totally equally, but remember, equality and fairness are not the same thing. It is their ecosystem after all and it is in their best interest to be selective in how they maintain it. So while it Spotify may not be treated equally, it is my opinion that they are treated fairly within Apple's walled garden.
