Apple Music got considerably worse from early 2020 to 2022. I was impressed by the features, search by lyrics, promise of personalized recommendation, things were pretty smooth, but cracks started to show.
- issue with being repeatedly slammed to reauthenticate
- bizarre iTunes integration
- won't play nice with sleep-locked Windows laptop
- random features ripped out of the PWA, like "Artist Radio" (presumably an attempt to protect their recommendations from adversarial scrapers)
The last straw was I "got auth booted, playback cutoff, buy a family plan" at midnight NYE, left an angry ticket. Next week, ticket closed, final cheeky de-auth. I immediately canceled, and can't say I've had any reason to consider returning.
