Spotify vs. Apple Music | In depth, HEAD TO HEAD SHOWDOWN

Ғылым және технология

I have use Spotify for years and love it. But recent changes have made me look to greener pastures. After using Apple Music for the last couple of weeks, I have a lot of thoughts about the pros and cons of each service. So if you're just curious or looking for a new streaming service, this is your video.
00:00 - the great debate
00:44 - app design and experience
03:51 - music quality and variety
09:39 - social features
13:03 - 3rd party services and devices
15:10 - exclusive content and features
17:42 - podcasts
19:01 - price and the value of streaming
22:42 - the winner…on paper

    I have both services. I use apple Music mostly since I just enjoy using the app much more than spotify just from the ui to the discovery of music and the way they sort the library. It makes me feel more like I'm browsing a record store and collecting my finds in my library. But I keep spotify around for podcasts and for the social features because all my friends and family have spotify. So when I hangout I always have to bust out my spotify to join jam sessions and such or just to share a song to someone.

    The conclusion of this video is my same problem. All my friends use SPTFY. But who cares. It’s music. It’s not often it really impacts any social conversations if ever

    Apple Music just works better on Apple Watch too. BUT spotify connect is so hard to leave! Ugh!

    Great video with a great breakdown. As a person who loves music as art, loves to listen to a full record and just really respects artists who respect the music they make Apple Music takes it for me. Spotify almost seems Taylor to the “singles listener”. Like the younger people who don’t listen to albums just singular songs

    Totally, apple music puts a huge emphasis on the album as a whole.

    Greetings! Thank you SO much for this excellent comparison! I’ve been an Apple Music user & lover for many years, but most of my friends use Spotify, so it’s getting kinda lonely over here, but god DAMN, is it hard to leave. I personally ADORE Apple Music’s “Discovery” radio station & it’s how I discover all new music. Anything that plays on it will be something I’ve never heard before. It does a great job of branching out via ea artists’s “similar artists” & my queue of new music seems to be getting better with use. I love the artist pages too. Only things I wish Apple Music did have, is better options for “liking/disliking” content. As is, we have “Favorite” which only causes that track to play more often whenever listening to playlists it’s on, or your library as a whole. Then we have “Suggest less”, which I believe just makes that song play less often, which doesn’t make sense if done to a song you listened to, but did not add to your library. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was super stoked to hear about it allowing SharePlay for non-AM subscribers! I had no idea!🥳

    I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! I think SharePlay for non-subscribers is going to be a big deal and help make the ecosystem feel less lonely.

    Really nice Comparison. Watching this to figure out if I maybe wanna switch to Apple Music because lately I started to become somewhat frustrated with spotify and i didnt even know the exact reasons. Now i finally know why shuffle feels so weird on Spotify and thats one of the things that annoyed me. One thing that i never really cared about was the lossless audio but thats because i also heard that its rlly not that much of a difference if you use bluetooth headphones and i dont use any wired ones... probably would need to try that out. So if you read this and maybe tested the difference between spotify and apple music with bluetooth headphones and can tell me if its a major difference there too that would be really helpful. 8:44 What the... i dont have these filters in my liked songs what the heck Also i never really used any of spotifys generated playlists i always make my own. The Social Features are the one thing thats holding me on spotifys side but when i think about it i rarely use any of them. The Friendlist, even when it was still there by default in the app, was the most useless thing ever (at how i remember it)... first, facebook.. tf?.. second, it never was anywhere near live which is kinda the only thing i would want a friendlist for. Jam is really cool but i rarely have a situations where i'd want to use it... also idk if this happened to anyone else before but when i wanted to use it a few weeks ago it constantly paused the music for the other person after like 5 minutes of their phone beeing locked and then they had to unlock and spam play/pause a few times till it worked again which was really weird. And then theres the whole Spotify Wrapped thing.. thats the main thing that i didnt want to lose but as i now know apple does it too... even monthly which i really really want now (and i have stats.fm for that for spotify but in-app would be much better) One thing that i see many people like that i absolutely hate is all the stuff thats in the player in spotify... its just too much especially when sometimes i just want to activate the lyrics view and then i have to scroll down because its not even on the top because of some concert info or merch or whatever... i would really prefer that to be an extra tab on each artists profile or in general if all that was only visible on the artist profile and not in the player so probably apple music is better for me in this case (i mean i really like to go on concerts but i never found out about any concert or merch over spotify.. i mostly find stuff like that on the specific artists social media) Also Podcasts is a thing a really dont care much about. ... Wow i wrote sooo much more than i wanted to when i started to write this comment and this is an absolute mess of a comment but im too lazy to fix the readability so fuck it😅 Respect if you really read all of that lmao

    ok whew....just finished. Honestly you make some great points and I think you should try the free trial of Apple Music. Even with bluetooth headphones you might notice a difference in music quality because you wont have as many compression artifacts in the songs compared to spotify.

    I had Spotify before but now sticking with Apple Music as I switched to Apple Music. Apple Music is better with their sound quality experience than Spotify. Plus I don’t use podcasts at all on Spotify as I focus more on music, which is the reason I switched to Apple Music. Apple Music always the best for me 😊

    I’ve just watched the video and found it really helpful and gave it a thumbs up. Then I saw it has 44 likes and 780 views and I was shocked, I thought this is video with 50-250k views while I was watching it 😂 I wish it had more screenshots and pictures though. There were no pictures of the prices :)

    Recently me and my partner noticed that when in the car if one of us is using Spotify via car play, that the other person's phone has started auto suggesting joining a jam with the connected phone. This has been our dream feature request for roadtrips with friends or just to help us have more of that best of both worlds shared library while driving. Genuinely think this and the audiobook additions have locked us back into the ecosystem despite the price shifts

    I am right there with you. Their social features and the recent "Jam" launch has made listening music so easy and collaborative with my friends.

    it does it if someone is playing spotify on the same wifi too. apple music took this feature as well, but it only works in the car I think
