Apple Music lossless sound quality is way better than compressed spotify. Apple also has dolby spatial audio surround sound.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

Fun fact, TIDAL is better than both. Apple doesn't give you lossless in all contexts. Still way better than Spotify as it's downsampling/upsampling at a quality level much higher than Spotify. But getting lossless on TIDAL is not a nightmare like Apple Music. In addition, the artists get a lot more of the money instead of them getting micro-pennies and the fat cat$ taking it all. In other words it sustains the creators.

I mean when they add lossless audio. The prices may go up a dollar or two. Maybe can't confirm but they just might do that. Also, if spotify would just do some redesigning to their app and make their lyrics a bit more like apples where it focuses on the lyric currently being sung, and added lossless, I wouldn't have any complaints.

[@andybeerrx]

So you're saying you will be willing to shell out $5 more per month for the privilege of streaming lossless audio, even though the alternatives don't cost you extra?

I actually went from spotify to apple music because of the algorithm, the music it gave me even in the discover or song based playlists were always the same

[@kurtz1993]

This seems to be a common complaint in the Spotify Community forums and I agree.

[@waiskuxx]

Definitely not. The Spotify algorithm is far superior than apples. The biggest downfall of Apple is they delete your playlist if you don’t resubscribe within 6 months and the algorithm just plays popular songs.

[@matale66]

Yes! It has some fixation with some specific songs that I don't even like that much for whatever reason. And if I do love them, they get repeated so often they get burned easily.

[@kurtz1993]

@waiskuxx I saw in the spotify community that people complain about the algorithm. I know it is superior than Apple's, but I have also found that I'm not getting the "lots of new songs" even after 7 years of using it. For me, I prefer the library and not so much the playlists. To each their own, I guess 😁

[@SpeedCuber2016]

I agree. I’ve had way better recommendations in my Discover on Apple Music way more than on my Spotify

[@parsahoushmand1037]

What I personally experienced when switching from Spotify to Apple Music was that in spite of the inferior recommendation algorithm I was listening to music more consciously. I was listening to full album and reading about the artists more. It does need to be said that organizing music was not as intuitive.

[@LeoLau-ip9bv]

hmmmm

[@darthastrius]

Love Apple Music. Discovered the most music there, especially EDM.

[@rosiek1990]

Yup. Spotify's algorithms might be better at knowing what you're into at the moment, but it also has a downside of being locked into a certain genre and a pool of artists. Switching to AM helped me discover so many great tracks.

[@RaggleFraggle56]

Apple Music has live sets from a lot of big festivals. It’s easily one of the top reasons I can’t switch. Also easier to import local music.

[@1openborder]

I tried Apple Music for a year. I was planning on sticking with it, but I hadn’t been enjoying listening to music as much. It hit me today that Spotify’s discovery algorithms is the biggest thing I love. Apple Music is for audiophiles that know what they want to listen to. Spotify is for casual listeners welcoming new sounds.

Long time apple user switched over in January and i have to say i am not especially dazzled by Spotify and i am still on the fence. - I am not a fan of how Spotify latches onto certain songs and flogs the sh*t out of them. - Even the generated playlists/ radio start to seem awfully repetitive… seems to pick popular songs from a given genre and they show up again and again. - Streaming quality is a step down + I will admit though that its ability to discover new music is superior to Apple. Truth be told i found KZbin Music better than both Apple and Spotify at finding new music though. + More people use Spotify in terms of sharing music. - Spotifys app is incredibly clunky, Apple Music seems far more intuitive and built better. + I was a fan of the Dolby atmos

I rely on Spotify connect a lot.

I don't listen to a lot of mainstream music so some of my more obscure or rare tracks just aren't available elsewhere. That may have changed as I've not tried to migrate in a few months but for now, I'll stick with Spotify and pray that they get us hi-fi quality streaming.

I''ll never switch.

[@Marcy_Wu190]

Unlike most of the people on the internet, I'm not a fan of the Spotify algorithm. It only plays the same songs I love at the time. When I play "Chop Suey!" by SOAD it plays "Otherside" by RHCP and "Another Brick in The Wall pt 2" by Pink Floyd and it pisses me off when it plays songs unrelated to the song I'm listening to like I want to listen to metal but it plays me rock songs. Today, I accidentally started a free trial for Apple Music and thoght "why don't I give it a try?". I know it's too early to talk, but imo Apple Music's suggestions are WAY better than Spotify's. I played Chop Suey again and it played artists like KoRn, Megadeth, Avenged Sevenfold etc. And it's only my first day on the app. Like I said before, it's too early to talk but for now I love Apple Music more than Spotify. I love KZbin Music's algorithm too, and I always say that. But its recommendations were more popular and less related songs(it played Metallica and Black Sabbath after Chop Suey) compared to AM. Also I love its UI too. It's not that professional compared to Spotify. But artists' pages are more organised imo. Also it has some pretty good designs like the lyrics tab, queue etc. And they look smoother compared to Spotify.

[@Kridder]

I want the high res audio quality of apple music but like the recommendations from Spotify. Could I just pay for apple music for the audio quality and just use the free version of Spotify to keep getting recommendations?

[@benedictwb]

As a staunch Spotify fan for a long time now, I've always rejected any idea that switching to Apple Music would be a good thing, but the ability showcased at 9:37 to have tons of different data options about the songs in your playlists like when you last played them and when they were released is super cool!!

[@walrusgumboot]

Nice video but I think you missed a big advantage from Apple Music (at least for the way I use it). That is the music videos available in Apple Music, especially for the Apple TV. There are so many MV’s in their library, I have tons of video playlists and they also have great concerts available. I know you can see these on KZbin, but they come with ads or you need to pay an additional fee, where Apple Music includes it.

Also, the main disadvantage for me was that you can’t play ALL your songs like 1 playlist. You can’t play album without 1 or 2 songs, without additional playlist creation. You can’t play all the songs you liked from some artist without additional playlist creation. I have favourites, I have different albums saved, I have lots of my personal playlists and I can’t play them all together without be forced to mark every single songs like favourite or creating a new playlist with all my playlists combined.

@@HamAndCheeze ey if my KZbin Premium comes with KZbin Music, I say it's a win

I've been on apple music for a few days now and I don't like it near as much as Spotify. I go to a artist page hit play expecting for that artist music to play, but after 1 or 2 songs it plays someone else. I don't like how it does my favorite artists either. if I like a song that has a feature it puts that 1 song in it's own artist page, instead of the main artist page. I just started my free 3 months and I don't think I'll keep using it 2 weeks, i listen mainly while driving and i find it more difficult to navigate my music.

[@nighthawk9532]

I use both Apple Music and Spotify, Spotify has better playlists but the Apple Music sound quality is much better

[@colinpowda]

KZbin Music by far, by far the best at recommendation. It just brings songs that I forgotten long time ago but fits perfectly that I really want to listen to at the time I am listening. Also, it uses youtube for music that has been recorded only as a video but not as a published music. It is by far the best of all. Not only that, when you get KZbin music, KZbin becomes ad-free. Now that is a no-brainer. Spotify or Apple music cannot even come close.

[@jinx3709]

tell me why Spotify is till this date failed to introduce lossless support?

[@iamkyleclimer]

what is lossless support?

[@leocompany]

There are high res audio compression formats for Bluetooth headphones so no you don't need to plug in headphones to receive a higher quality...

[@TheReacher24]

You will never get better audio quality through Bluetooth rather than plugging in directly. That was the point

[@olebogengthothela1191]

I'd switch to Spotify or YTMusic if they supported 256kb aac. I don't know what's wrong with Spotify's ogg, but there's a noticeable audio quality difference.

[@karlfran0404]

Spotify always had better algorithms for finding my music. Apple has been catching up recently. Most importantly there is some great Apple human curated music that has been enlightening. There was a great interview with the remaining Doors members reminiscing over LA Woman and playing their favourite tracks. It was like a director’s commentary. Getting the same with other great bands now. The crowning glory for Apple though was their recent Top 100 Albums of all time. Rolling Stone used to do this but it was almost impossible to get the list in streaming. Overall both Spotify and Apple are great. Apple clearly has a bigger budget and it seems Cook is an audiophile. There have been some major leaps in Apple, including smarter algorithms, Dolby Atmos (spooky when it sounds like Mick Jagger is standing next to me with Keef playing on my other side), Loseless and the aforementioned human inspired content. I’ve switched to Apple now because I’m in the ecosystem, but I was very happy to use Spotify too. There are rewards in putting all your music through one service though so the algos learn.

[@burakkkk4]

There is only one and most important reason I recently switched to Apple Music after using Spotify for 8 years , and that is the lossless audio quality. But I don't think fully embracing a single platform is not good. Maybe I'll switch back spotify later, So I'll keep experimenting.

[@theSOUNDinterpreter]

The thing that I hate about apple music is if you cancel your subscription for more than 30 days, your library gets wiped and you’ll need to start allllll over Edit: its 90 days

[@CallMeVidd]

WHAT THE FUCK

[@sigiligus]

Zoomers can’t even write down albums they want to keep smh. Such a pathetic farce of a generation. Not hard to get locally stored copies. Downloading music is what launched the internet into the public consciousness back, well, before you were born lmao

[@leocompany]

What? That's not true at all lol

[@gabopsd]

that’s not true 😂

[@theSOUNDinterpreter]

Ya’ll had me second guessing myself even though I’ve has this happen to me multiple times. I just started another Apple Music trial through PlayStation having been unsubscribed for months, and i have iCloud Music turned on. My library is completely gone other than the music I own.

[@PJO101-TC]

[@1292liam]

Do you watch the video of a song, whilst it plays?

[@OddlyFamiliarStranger]

The AI Dj is exactly what made me switch to Spotify and I’ve been using apple music for over a year

[@MikesVegas]

Me too! KZbin Music sounds great ! I also have Apple Music. 😎

[@MathieuLLF]

Spotify is best.

[@onyxriver]

I use an iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch and iPad but I'll choose KZbin Music. You get more songs because you also can listen to user uploaded covers from KZbin.

[@WildTorterra]

I've attempted to switch from Spotify to Apple Music, and I just couldn't do it. If you have Apple devices, Apple Music is potentially a no-brainer. But if you're like me, running ONLY Android devices, the experience hasn't been great. My main problem is that Apple Music locks certain settings behind owning an iPhone. For example, volume normalization (which Apple calls "Sound Check"), something that comes standard across most music streaming services. But not on Apple Music on Android, it's non-existent.

[@pax1217]

Is the only thing that keeps me away from Apple. On windows, I tried Apple TV mostly to see one exclusive there. To my surprise, I found out that I could only see and download the chapters at 1080p. For 4K, you must have a Mac or an Apple product, which sounds ridiculous even with the knowledgement of them wanting to make you join to their ecosystem.

[@WildTorterra]

@@pax1217 Apple's handling of Apple TV is just hilarious. Me personally, I could go fine with just 1080p, I'm pretty sure that's the max resolution most, if not all, my screens right now can support anyway. But my favorite thing about Apple TV is that it has a dedicated app on every apple device, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, Fire TV, even Google TV. Literally the only thing that doesn't natively support Apple TV is mobile Android -- you'd have to stream it through a web browser.

[@gibby3350]

The other thing with Apple is that they decided to have podcasts be a separate app rather than integrate it into one app which is weird. I love Apple Music, but it for sure needs a Spotify connect feature of some sort and podcast integration inside the app. Also the exclude from taste profile button would be awesome too since I have a lot of playlists I just use for background music.

[@nikolasartes3328]

KZbin premium! Facts and worth every penny

[@tylerjjackson]

You can play songs downloaded from you files on spotify through other devices. I have done so with songs on my iPhone using spotify through my macbook.

[@amiraboudayya1916]

Can do this on Apple too

[@jihuu8262]

used to be a spotify user for 4 years but just switched to apple music due to their lossless and dolby atmos audio and more attractive visuals

[@philipmrch8326]

Lossless makes no difference but the others are nice

[@aidenoctane1385]

@@philipmrch8326 It does if you're using wired headphones that support that. And even some Bluetooth headphones support hi-res lossless audio
