>> If you are a Spotify user
I would recommend switching to Apple Music if you want to stream. They're continuing to lean into the idea of human curation (with the launch of three new live radio stations this month) and I find their human curated playlists lead to me discovering a lot more music I like than Spotify's. Apple Music also works well with local files so music you purchase of Bandcamp, bootlegs etc. will work across devices.
- jabroni_salad 2y agoIs the software still garbo on Windows and Android? Last I tried it, it would crash after a couple hours and I have no valid airplay targets in my home. They were generous about the 2 month trial but I only needed 2 hours to realize that I wasn't the target market. For all of spotify's faults, it runs on EVERYTHING and Spotify Connect is effectively borderless.

- bangaroo 2y agoas an avid apple music user i am continually frustrated by what an afterthought the windows app is it's a continuation of apple's legacy of barely putting in the minimum to ship anything for windows. there's a reason i won't use their password manager, etc. i still interact with windows, and basically any key app i use can't be apple-made because the windows experience will be utter trash and the linux experience will be nonexistent. i make do with the windows apple music app but it is objectively a bad experience.
- mr_toad 2y agoApple still makes most of their money off hardware. They really want you to buy their hardware.
- n144q 2y agoThe Android app is solid. I don't remember running into any bugs recently, and (1) the app supports Android tablets well (2) the app for classical music "Classical" works is also top-tier. I switch between the iPhone app and Android app frequently, and I really can't tell any difference between the two versions. The Android one supports Chromecast, although I have had some trouble with it in the past. The Windows app is ok, but I haven't used it as much, so I can't provide much feedback.
- phatfish 2y agoThere are a number of good independent radio stations I listen to, personally I would say that is the better option for human curation.
