For what it's worth, I have had good results with Apple Music. It works great as a "custom jukebox in the sky" for me.
I use iTunes installed from the Windows Store and just drag my own music files onto iTunes. It syncs them to Apple Music where the files stand right alongside the streamed tracks from the paid service. I can put them in playlists together, edit metadata for my own tracks or Apple Music ones, see (and add!) lyrics, and so on. They even have an Android mobile app.
- lelandfe 5y agoThe thing GPM did that neither Apple Music nor Spotify do was cache played songs in an offline playlist. You could specify the size of the cache you wanted (e.g. 10GB), and each time you streamed a song it would thereafter be playable offline until dropped from cache. You're dead on, though, that Apple Music is lightyears ahead of Spotify wrt local files.
- techsupporter 5y agoThat is very cool, I didn't know about that feature. I agree, that would be super neat. The closest Apple Music gets is you can set it up to automatically download to mobile any tracks added to library with the "+" button.
