Tbh I find Apple Music’s playlists much better. Better structure, look, layout, and of course better music including more playlists from what I’ve seen.
I switched to Apple Music recently and am so disappointed by the recommendations on Apple. It only plays hits and you get almost no access to more underground/diverse artists. I discovered way more music on Spotify than I ever did on AM.
BRO THE APPLEKUSOC PLAY LISTS ARE TERRIBLE. THEY UPDATE EVERY WEEK. SO IF U DISLIKE A SONG IT TAKES ONE WEEK FOR THE SONG TO GET REMOVED FROM THE PLAYLIST.
I tried spotify& had so much trouble with them that i had to cancel their music service. I couldn't get the site to work & the lady i talked to was nasty & not helpful. I went with Apple, i have apple i pad , phone, & i pod & so far i have no problem with any of them. They all work GREAT. so my choice would be apple , apple is a good product as well. 🤗
I have an iPhone and use Spotify. I tried the free trial of Apple Music and found it hard to navigate for some reason, I just find Spotify easier to use and has better playlists.
The Same Danny.... I use an IPhone x....... Tried the free trial .... I found Apple Music to be all over the place hated the user interface .. And lots of small indie artists on my most loved Spotify play lists I just couldn't find on Apple....spotify have great recommend lists, and 100 most played last year ..... And Spotify Dark mode.,,!!! Absolutely sticking to Spotify....
mary mulligan SoundCloud _beats_ all if you’re looking for “underground” artists like I usually am. Musi is also a great app as you can stream any TH-cam video/song. (You can listen in other apps, make playlists, turn off your phone and all those things.)
What makes Spotify superior for me, are all the daily mixes, ability to make a similar playlist to existing ones I've made, the playlist radios and weekly discoveries. It's inherently about finding new music based on what I've listened to and I love that. I also love their Wrapped Statistics they do at the end of the year. The thing that sucks is that what I pay spotify pays every artist on spotify and not just the ones I listen to. Say I listen to Casey ( a rather up and coming band ) I'd rather that all my money goes to them, seeing how I listen to them a lot. And I dont want that money go to someone I dont listen to ( like Taylor Swift..) Ive been wondering about Apple music since I have an iPhone and Macbook Pro, wondered if that would just be more convenient.
People always bring up how Apple Music has a 3-month free trial. But you technically get an indefinite free trial for Spotify because you can use Spotify for free
I had a Megadeth playlist loaded up on The Spotify free app the other day. It played 4 tracks then I was suddenly listening to Pixie Lott. I don't need that shit in my life.
@@paulwilliams2024 bro if you can't afford anything else free Spotify is good. Is it the best? No of course not but if it's all you got then it's decent. By the way, I believe you meant trial, not trail.
zoli in my opinion I have been using tidal and the main reason why I would recommend tidal over all the other competitors is the music quality hands down but the downside for me with tidal is that it cost around 20 dollars per month to be able to hear the master quality and not only that not every artist has there music files verified with tidal to be compressed to master quality, you could explore new artist but I feel like tidal is promoting more hip hop than pop of your a hip hop person than it’s fine for you but for me I’m into the apple ecosystem and Apple Music fits for me it all depends on what device you plan to use the streaming service and if you want quality over everything
Been a Spotify member for a long time now. Have tried Apple Music but I think it doesn't have the features that Spotify has. Definetly will stay with Spotify!!!
I was apart of Spotify right before Apple Music came out... And I stuck with Apple Music since launch. It’s just preference, especially as I’m heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. However, Spotify is great, and I do wish Apple Music did playlists like Spotify...
Fantasticus so have I! Since 2015 when Apple took away the Apple radio stations. If you have a iPhone 5, you know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the Apple pop radio stations and the r&b with the other radio stations that were the most best working station ever! They played the right music you like and music that is new and you’ll like!
Hair on your screen they used to before they launched Apple Music back in the beginning of 2015. It was when I had my 5c in last 2013 and I was able to listen to Apple’s playlist radios! Until one day Apple said, “The radio is unavailable” and err since that the radio stations never came back! I have the 5c stored away in my closet. So when I order my new screen. Then I’ll try and Restore it to when it was back out from the box!
I’ve been a Spotify user for years and when I went to download Apple Music just to test it out, there was a Spotify ad right above it. It made me feel like I was cheating on my girlfriend. I don’t know if I can ever switch
Dave totally agree with you , that's a major hold back for apple I still can't believe Apple Music has lot music then Spotify like when did that happen
For those saying "OMG 10,000 SONGS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH" - Here's the problem: Spotify limits offline downloads to 3,333 songs per device, on a maximum of 3 devices. So the 10k song limit is really cut into thirds per device which is a big letdown.
The problem though is this limitation is caused by Apple so they could have an advantage there. Apps on our iPhones aren’t aloud to store more than a certain amount. However an Apple created app obviously doesn’t have that limitation. I get your point but it is apples fault
All I want are full lyrics on Spotify and it would be perfect!!! They already have the partnership with Genius they might as well use genius for what it’s supposed to be, a lyrics library
The search suggestions were a game changer for me. I tried Apple Music and I really didn't like it. Spotify seems to be way more user-friendly - at least for me.
For sound quality, Apple Music encodes their music with AAC, while Spotify uses MP3, so even though Apple Music is only 256 kbps, and Spotify goes up to 320, Apple Music sounds better.
This is entirely false. Apple originally planned to release Apple Music at $5 but record labels wouldn’t let them put any music on the platform at that price. I’d imagine that the same applies to Spotify.
Spotify definitely doesn't have higher audio quality.. the bitrate might be higher but Apple uses the AAC codec which sounds better, even at a lower bitrate.
I love Spotify, but what keeps me on Apple Music is that I can tell Siri to play a song while I drive without having to risk my life trying to fiddle with my phone to play that certain song.
I use spotify, but I gotta say apple music looks really appealing. For example apple music gives more money to the artist. Another thing is, that some albums don't exist on spotify. Fx 4:44 or lemonade.
I'm very much an apple guy and I like to use apple music on my devices, but Spotify's playlist features kick apple out of the park. I'm still having a hard time deciding. I've had Spotify forever, and I did the three month trial for apple music when it first came out, but I don't know. i kind of want to try apple music again.
I‘m completely embedded in the Apple-ecosystem, using an iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch and an iMac. BUT as long as the GUI of Apple Music remains as cancerous as it is, I‘ll never even concider to switch from Spotify. I‘ve been really disliking the Music App since iOS7. IMHO it got worse and worse with every new version of iOS. Clean up that mess, Apple!
MrCheckHammer to me neither but apparrently playlists are kind of what albums used to be I even was playing Stadium Arcadium (by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers) at school once and i was asked what playlist i am playing...
I tried both premium subscriptions but I ended up choosing Spotify. I like user interface better and it's easier to find new music. I only pay $2.50 a month for it! I have a student account which makes it $5 but I have it charged to my capital one card, and they signed a deal with them that gives you 50% back. So it's a sweet deal if you have a capital one card.
Ikr! I only have/collected 50 songs for the past 6 years. I dont download an entire album, just the songs i liked from an album which is usually 2-3 songs max.
honestly i think if you own apple products, apple music would be the best. if you use products from different companies like androids and non apple media players and stuff then spotify is going to be the best for you.
Rep the cent yeah I agree. I mean if you listen to music a lot on your PS4 then you would obviously need Spotify. But that's why I said "if you own Apple products" in my original comment.
I used both services, but I decided to opt for Spotify, because: 1. I liked that it lets me continue on another device seamlessly. 2. I can control a device's music through another device. 3. It plays songs instantly, even if the song isn't downloaded = great servers (in Apple Music it buffers before playing). 4. If you're not a premium user, you can still play any song if it's on a tablet (iPads) or on a desktop os (macOS, Windows). 5. Better bit rate (320 kbps). 6. Faster UI (Apple animations are slow for elegance's sake).
Being able to play my own playlists with Spotify through PS4 to replace a game's music is such a blessing. I've heard every song on GTA V hundreds of times over, no more thanks. Controlling the music via another device is such a great feature also, controlling the music coming from my PS4 using my iPhone/iPad is so convenient. For just those reasons alone, I don't really care what Apple Music has if they can't offer those kind of intuitive features.
and big plus for Spotify is Shazam integration. After you sync/import Shazam playlist to Spotify just Shazam a song and it gets to that playlist (if it exist on Spotify). What a relief!
That's what I was going to say Spotify will probably be losing Shazam integration soon once Apple gets full control of it. Apple already had full Shazam integration before too. You can ask siri what song is playing and Shazam recognizes music through Siri. Then gives you direct access to it in Apple Music.
Apple Music has a sensible queue at least, I can’t freaking stand how Spotify separates the playlist queue from the regular queue, and you CANNOT add a song to the top of the queue to play directly next in Spotify.
John Furfaro You can indeed change the order of the songs in queue however you like. I don't know what you are talking about... If you have five songs in queue and add another one you can just put it on top in the queue so it will play next.
Question may have been asked before, but if you have family share set up with Apple, if the organizer gets AppleMusic do the family members attached to account get access too? Or do you have to get the Family subscription?
I'm using Apple Music on my Galaxy S6 edge, and I enjoy the service a lot. It took some adjusting coming from Google Play Music after using it for years, but the advantages that Apple Music holds over that service are blatantly apparent. Can't wait to get an iPhone so I don't have to deal with daily bugs on the Android app variant of Apple Music.
Loved this video. Very professional, not very opinionated which is great. I use to use apple because all my products where apple but I switched to Spotify when it was first released and discovered that it's so much nicer. The social aspects of Spotify were heaps good back in the day, plus discover weekly CANNOT be beaten. It's honestly amazing. Plus it looks nicer imo. But now I have both and still only use Spotify
I love Spotify! The app is 👍 and the premium is my choice! Ive used if for years. Works with Alexa, most tv/media players. The only thing I missed was the lyrics! Plus Spotify can be controlled by other devices, phone to iPad or iPod to pc.
Diogenes the Cynic apple music on ios 11 will have that "social" feature just like spotify, you can follow/add friends playlist to yours/see what you're friends are listening in real time etc
I prefer Apple Music, Ive been with them for about a year and a half, and you got a few things wrong. On Apple Music, you CAN follow other subscribers playlists, and you can change the audio quality if you choose to.
for clarification Spotify uses a 320kbit mp3 stream while Apple uses 256aac stream which are both actually quite the same when it comes to sound quality
It wins because it can let listeners choose a WORSE sound quality? Like the comment suggested... they have little to no sound difference when played at their best level... so really the only thing adjusting your sound level to differ from apple is by reducing its quality. Great feature
Dwee Phan you can also choose higher quality on Spotify though. And you can distinguish between what streaming quality you want and what download quality you want
8:26 uhhhhhh heard of 'My New Music Mix' and 'My Favourites Mix'? Literally the same as the 'Discover Weekly' and 'Daily Mixes'. Little disappointed you didn't pick it up as Apple touts those two playlists as one of their big features as they are apparently way better than Spotify's version...
If you listen to a lot of albums that limit fills up quick and it's really frustrating. I hit the limit within in a couple months of using the app and then had to constantly debate what to get rid of every time I wanted to save something new. It's such a needless limitation, there's no reason for it to be there at all and that's what makes it so obnoxious. Like I agree 99% of users are more casual listeners than me and won't come anywhere near the limit, but that just makes it more questionable as to why they'd have the limit at all, it's only going to annoy their biggest users. Not to mention the fuckin' condescending message they give you when you hit the limit in lieu of a normal error message - "epic collection, friend!" eugh fuck off with that
That's one of the reasons I moved to Apple Music. I couldn't download all my songs because I was maxed out. Any music that I want to listen to in the future or I might just add the whole album even though I don't necessarily listen to all the songs. So that's why mine is so full
Andy Slye u just forgot to mention if u have a big music library iTunes is extremely slow. Also iTunes deletes your whole library randomly so better have a back up
music is getting individual profile pages so you can share playlists or music you listen to with your friends in iOS 11. You also get to make party playlists. I personally also prefer music
Marshmallow EA / 2k Yeah I know, Apple adding those things just makes Apple Music better. I still prefer it right now over Spotify but that’s my personal preference
Marshmallow EA / 2k It also works really well since it’s built into the system itself. You can ask Siri to play things for you etc. it also has a bigger library
iTouchAppReviewers I used tidal'S premium HIFI 1 month trial but...the difference between those both was only the volume....tidal has more volume and spotify has less....if I changed one setting in spotify where it's audio normalisation is on and I set it to off , I didn't noticed much difference in sound quality on both... and spotify'S interface is worlds best... tidal... I don't think it'll grow up but... and it's 19.99 dollars a month which is insane..... if tidal'S HIFI and spotify meets together , the world will blow out with incredible sounding music! But it should be maximum 13.99 dollars a month for HIFI...
p.s.s. santosh what audio equipment were you using? It depends a lot on what equipment you actually use. Obviously, if you run TIDAL HIFI with shitty earbuds or 20 dollars headphones, almost no difference will be heard for you, But if you use HI-FI or high-resolution equipment's with TIDAL HIFI ( or master version on you computer) the differences are quite palpable.
I switched to Apple Music a while back to fuel my Apple Watch, and I have not looked back since. Nah, just kidding. I look back every day. Although Apple Music delivers what I want, Spotify just feels more fluent in use. The Dark Theme, the playlist game (which Spotify totally dominates), and long formed habits that are not easily broken. Apple needs to do something about their user interface, it is kinda looking like they are not even trying to develop this further.
I've been a hardcode Spotify user for over 10 years. I wouldn't hear a bad word said about it, boy how wrong I was. I've recently left them because Apple Music buries it completely in terms of sound quality, catalogue of music, much better radio stations, and the video content alone is worth every penny. It remembers exactly where you are in a program track even if you click off on to another track or radio station. Plus it looks so much prettier to click the big chunky album covers in your car. The user experience is so much better. I won't be going back to Spotify as long as Apple Music is here. No contest.
I havent had an ipod(apple music) in a few years and i dont get songs on my phone to save space, i now have spotify on my phone and xbox and am currently in a free 3month trial but cant figure out how to add multiple songs to playlists at once, I remember playlist making being easy and fast on my ipod, is there no way to do that on spotify? If not, having to add songs individually to spotify playlists is a deal breaker for me.
On my tablet I have no idea why I don't have to pay for Spotify I can stream any song on wifi but on my iPhone I can't so I don't understand why? But I pay Apple Music for my phone and don't pay Spotify on my tablet I'm always on wifi or I use my hotspot so I have no problems
AniCommie - Kun I agree with that now. I had Apple Music and their program kept changing my album art to my ripped CDs. Once I closed my Apple Music account I discovered that all of my ripped music was gone. Their program deleted all my ripped music. They don’t have the rights to mess with our ripped music just because they don’t have what we ripped onto our Macs. Needless to say I will not be going back to Apple Music.It me years to get all they deleted in a mater of minutes GRRRRRRR.
Apple Music will delete all your ripped music.. And It changes your album art. Lots of bugs or either they do it on purpose. I cancelled my Apple Music Account. Once this was done I discovered that all my ripped music was gone.. I also lost approximately $50 to their App Store when all my paid apps broke when they released IOS11. Last year I also heard about Apple slowing down older devices. With everything I’ve been through and learned, In February I traded my iPhone 7Plus in for a Samsung Note 8. My iPhone 8Plus will be my last iPhone.
@@alexojeda9048 when I closed my Apple Music Account all my ripped Music disappeared. Gone. Even when I had it they kept changing my Album art to my CDs that I ripped to my Macbook Air. My ripped Music was not their to delete or tamper with. Also, when they released IOS 11 all my paid apps that I bought over the years that worked until they released IOS 11 BROKE!
lovingorca I had a similar experience with Google Play Music. They were will to let you upload your library onto their service as a digital locker for free; good for 35,000 songs. What I started to realize is that they matched my content with family-friendly non-explicit versions of the songs; not what I wanted. They claimed that by agreeing to their terms of service contract they had the right to do so. Needless to say I was extremely pissed by this. Luckily I keep several copies of my media libraries in case of corporate fuck ups. I'm guessing you didn't or maybe you did, I don't know; hope you did.

I prefer Spotify for the layout and ease of use.
Also, Spotify has never tried to shove U2 down my throat.
True I forgot the whole U2 album debacle haha
IAmGoombaSniper It was like a suicide bomber in my iTunes library.
robert haibi lmao
the "U2 Debacle"? they gave everyone a free album and somehow its a conspiracy?

you cant beat spotify's playlists though. i find new music there everytime.

Michael JS tbh i dont care if you use apples music. Just fucking use whatever floats your boat
They barely even have dr. Dre in Spotify which is stupid cause he was one of the most iconic rappers ever
Danish Iylia and the best thing you dont have to pay for Spotify to at least listen to music

Spotify gives me early access to concert tickets, obscure artists, I also like knowing that 47 other people listen to a certain artist.

I actually prefer the music design from iOS 9. When you get into albums it displays the color that comes with the cover which is a very nice touch.
Nicolas Marin oooh I miss that feature. I loved the way it looked.
Not gonna lie, I got triggered a bit when they got rid of it.
Yup plus they don't show the length of the song
Enter Thom what do you mean? They do as far as I'm concerned.
Also, the album art was bigger which looked really good on the plus model.

i was looking for this comment.
Agree. Had spotify, deezer and Tidal. Apple music sounds best. Have no idea, how they did it.
There was a deal on for Spotify. I got 3 months for 99p :)
Quite happy with that
Ellie Quinn How and When?
Apple Music does have options for sound quality. It’s in the settings under Cellular Data. It gives an option to stream the highest quality available.
Etan Chamare Same with Spotify tho
Luggy Yeah, he said that. He just didn’t know about the Apple Music option.
Etan Chamare your right lol
I know about those, but Spotify gives you more specific options.
Andy Slye Apple offers 256kbs in AAC format which is better than Spotify’s 320kbs MP3 format. Do some research bro.
I'm Apple guy, but Spotify is really better. Years of use.
Same as me :)
But is the Spotify download limit less than Apple music
Apple is the reason Spotify isn’t cheaper.

I love Spotify, but what keeps me on Apple Music is that I can tell Siri to play a song while I drive without having to risk my life trying to fiddle with my phone to play that certain song.
Yes, Siri integration is one of Apple Music's big advantages.
And also if you have an Android phone, then there is Google Assistant, which you can choose Spotify as a default song player with.
Spotify is beta testing car mode, which I think when finished is going to be a game changer.

I Wear A Fez Now music taste is subjective
Benjamin Mrsa true
Benjamin Mrsa well Lemonade ain’t on Apple Music.
Apple is better itunes.apple.com/us/artist/dj-dot/1164366580
I'm very much an apple guy and I like to use apple music on my devices, but Spotify's playlist features kick apple out of the park. I'm still having a hard time deciding. I've had Spotify forever, and I did the three month trial for apple music when it first came out, but I don't know. i kind of want to try apple music again.
Angel Camacho same, I love Apple but Apple Music can’t beat Spotify’s playlists. I have both so I don’t care but I use spot more though
meh ur right but playlists have never really appealed to me since i listen to full albums
I‘m completely embedded in the Apple-ecosystem, using an iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch and an iMac.
BUT as long as the GUI of Apple Music remains as cancerous as it is, I‘ll never even concider to switch from Spotify. I‘ve been really disliking the Music App since iOS7. IMHO it got worse and worse with every new version of iOS. Clean up that mess, Apple!
ExBenzi2 I feel the same way, I have Apple everything but Spotify is where it’s at.
MrCheckHammer to me neither but apparrently playlists are kind of what albums used to be
I even was playing Stadium Arcadium (by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers) at school once and i was asked what playlist i am playing...
Spotify is on ps4 and u can choose any song whenever and same with PC
For free
NateK free version is shit
how
Spotify basically cause it’s on everything I have, my iPhone, my smart tv, my Xbox, my tablet and my laptop.. and I live spotify connect
I tried both premium subscriptions but I ended up choosing Spotify. I like user interface better and it's easier to find new music. I only pay $2.50 a month for it! I have a student account which makes it $5 but I have it charged to my capital one card, and they signed a deal with them that gives you 50% back. So it's a sweet deal if you have a capital one card.
Wow that is a great deal
fashionmusicartlover the deal capital one has with Spotify,is it only for students?
Ivan Rodriguez No it's for anyone who pays with a capital one card, you can have a regular Spotify premium account.
fashionmusicartlover thank you,I'll look into that
fashionmusicartlover for 5 bucks?
"10,000 songs is way too little."
Bruh wtf
Henry Barrett It is. My mom’s library exceeds 10,000 and my library is about to do the same
You'll be surprised how the songs start stacking up.
13,700 here.
Ikr! I only have/collected 50 songs for the past 6 years. I dont download an entire album, just the songs i liked from an album which is usually 2-3 songs max.
Henry Barrett ikr
honestly i think if you own apple products, apple music would be the best. if you use products from different companies like androids and non apple media players and stuff then spotify is going to be the best for you.
This is a good general rule of thumb for most people. Not all though.
2cool0 if you have a PlayStation it’s a deal breaker
Rep the cent yeah I agree. I mean if you listen to music a lot on your PS4 then you would obviously need Spotify. But that's why I said "if you own Apple products" in my original comment.
Spotify is great if you don't own any music (unless you're fine with keeping all your music downloaded)
Kacperek Ciezadlo Android has a shit load of apps for everything
i'm at 4,500 songs on Spotify so it's too late now to switch haha
Big Boy it b like that
Use tunemymusic.com
Try song shift
Im at 2,606 songs on Spotify
I'm at 708,168
I prefer Spotify because it is available on all my devices. Like my car or my desktop or my TV or my smart watch....
Spotify on your Car? Please elaborate.
oO360FanOo | DronezZon my watch only Apple Music is available
cars that have a android tablet or a play store
Armada1715 A lot of aftermarket stereos integrate Spotify. Also Spotify is supported on both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Armada1715 he probably has a smart car
I'm from the future..almost 2020 and Spotify is kickin' ass of Apple Music and also JayZ is back to Spotify...
and he’s still on apple music...
3:57 whos listening to 10,000 songs😂
T - Stew 10,925 that’s who listens
T - Stew a lot of people
I have 9000
I have 9000
Why do you need to know this?
Thumbs up and subscribed just because I lost it at ‘And the winner is... Tidal!’ 😂
Thanks for watching & subbing!
I don't get taxed for Apple Music in California.
Interesting. I guess it depends on your state.
Rafael De La Cruz probably because tax causes cancer in California so it's not allowed..
I don't get taxed in the UK
Finlay McDarmaid We all do in the EU, the VAT is just included in the price.
i dont get taxed in Azerbaijan either.
I used both services, but I decided to opt for Spotify, because:
1. I liked that it lets me continue on another device seamlessly.
2. I can control a device's music through another device.
3. It plays songs instantly, even if the song isn't downloaded = great servers (in Apple Music it buffers before playing).
4. If you're not a premium user, you can still play any song if it's on a tablet (iPads) or on a desktop os (macOS, Windows).
5. Better bit rate (320 kbps).
6. Faster UI (Apple animations are slow for elegance's sake).
Thanks for sharing
Javier Martos agreed bro
So true!
Being able to play my own playlists with Spotify through PS4 to replace a game's music is such a blessing. I've heard every song on GTA V hundreds of times over, no more thanks. Controlling the music via another device is such a great feature also, controlling the music coming from my PS4 using my iPhone/iPad is so convenient. For just those reasons alone, I don't really care what Apple Music has if they can't offer those kind of intuitive features.
I love 1. and 2.
I've had Apple Music since it came out in 2015. I gave up Spotify for it & I've never looked back.. I really do love Apple Music..
same!!!
and big plus for Spotify is Shazam integration. After you sync/import Shazam playlist to Spotify just Shazam a song and it gets to that playlist (if it exist on Spotify). What a relief!
That's what I was going to say Spotify will probably be losing Shazam integration soon once Apple gets full control of it. Apple already had full Shazam integration before too. You can ask siri what song is playing and Shazam recognizes music through Siri. Then gives you direct access to it in Apple Music.
HOW DO PEOPLE GET DISAPPOINTED BY 10K SONGS ON A PLAYLIST? I barely have 150
Jean Cyril Garcia i got 3500 and everytime i download an album i have to delete some songs
if you had 3500 you didn't have to delete any song since the maximum is 10k
M4sterEma to download its 3500
Legal Cake why the fuck would u have that much
Jorge luis Rodriguez because i like all kinds of music
The local file WiFi sync is worth 10 bucks a month alone. Spotify all day
Also the Apple Music GUI is absolute cancer.
Apple Music has a sensible queue at least, I can’t freaking stand how Spotify separates the playlist queue from the regular queue, and you CANNOT add a song to the top of the queue to play directly next in Spotify.
John Furfaro You can indeed change the order of the songs in queue however you like. I don't know what you are talking about... If you have five songs in queue and add another one you can just put it on top in the queue so it will play next.
I say the same thing about the GUI on Spotify
The what? I just download music and transfer it to my phone for free.
they went too simplistic for the UI, i agree on that 100%
Question may have been asked before, but if you have family share set up with Apple, if the organizer gets AppleMusic do the family members attached to account get access too? Or do you have to get the Family subscription?
Spotify for students comes with Hulu for free
I'm using Apple Music on my Galaxy S6 edge, and I enjoy the service a lot. It took some adjusting coming from Google Play Music after using it for years, but the advantages that Apple Music holds over that service are blatantly apparent. Can't wait to get an iPhone so I don't have to deal with daily bugs on the Android app variant of Apple Music.
Interesting to see that Apple Music alone is getting people to convert to iOS from Android. Apple is so savvy.
PHXNTXM Yeah I also have an S6 and I'm gonna switch soon too
LMAO the iPhone is the best for sure! totally no lag! at all!
Andy Slye It's more so the Apple ecosystem that has swayed my Android allegiance, but Apple Music was also some nicely added incentive.
Spotify already has artist just click the name.
Hi, is it possible to transfer songs downloaded on Apple Music to my iPod ?
you didn’t mention personal music locker. Apple Music allows you to add your own MP3s and store them in the cloud. does Spotify do this?
No but you can do this using the "local files" feature on the desktop version of spotify.
Dillon Fontaine you can add them from ur desktop and to ur phone on Spotify
Like you I like both and have both. But the edge goes to Spotify. User interface is so much better! Great video
Thanks Gary!
gary clark apple
you pay for both?
I did for awhile just to really test both but I recently canceled apple and stuck with spotify. Much preferred
user interface on spotify sucsk
12:47 Got Thinking About What You Said!?;)
HI, what microphone are you using? It sounds amazing.
10000 songs in one library is low.
Nigga i have 10 and i think thats enough
You will listen to 10 songs all your life?
sis i download appro 1000 songs per year. 10000 is defo not enough
pure melodrama that sounds like a you problem
pure melodrama That shits just stupid. I garuntee that only listen to about 50 of those songs.
Aunt Jemima plus you get board of a song after a while so i go througfh mine and deleat ones im board with all the time
Loved this video. Very professional, not very opinionated which is great. I use to use apple because all my products where apple but I switched to Spotify when it was first released and discovered that it's so much nicer. The social aspects of Spotify were heaps good back in the day, plus discover weekly CANNOT be beaten. It's honestly amazing. Plus it looks nicer imo. But now I have both and still only use Spotify
They're both music
good observation
Andy Slye pfttttt lol
Good job , Sherlok
#Deezer haha *: )*
3:50 Who has 10,000 songs in a playlist wtf
Why do you need to know this?
Great video. The wife and I were trying to decide which service to go with and this video helped.
Thanks for watching, Warren
Ive got spotify and got unlimited skips but havent subscribed to spotify premium
AwesomeAnimations 2Draw tutuapp
Spotify only has limited skips and shuffle mode only on mobile devices, on PCs and MACs the onyl drawback of the free plan is the ads
mh.. ok, mb, thought the OS (android or iOS) was what mattered, not the type of device itself
wasabi ? I have Spotify premium for free on my phone plan :) Plus data used on spotify does not count towards the data cap
I got unlimited skips and no ads in spotify in my phone even though its not premium but I cant saved musics :(
Spotify user here, make a play list, less ads...save $$$
Spotify does have a full lyrics feature, however, is only available in Japan, also, it can be very buggy sometimes.
I love Spotify! The app is 👍 and the premium is my choice! Ive used if for years. Works with Alexa, most tv/media players. The only thing I missed was the lyrics! Plus Spotify can be controlled by other devices, phone to iPad or iPod to pc.
Spotify ++ is the winner
Where did you get it mate?
Efrain Garcia premium free is the way to go 😔
Leo Newt naa it not true bro u can download music
I have never been able to download with ++
Jake Morrison what does youtube++ do
In my country the monthly cost of apple is less than $2 lol
In my country an apple is like $1.99/pound
Andy Slye lol
In my country, which i wont name, they pay you to make an account and use services
I pay less than a dollar monthly
Can someone please tell me what the sound quality is like once the song is downloaded on apple music.
iOS 11 now matches the social aspect.
Oh very cool. It definitely needed it.
Andy Slye Great video! Keep up the work!
Cesar Battistini Maziero also it helps you when searching. So when you’re typing you’ll be able to search songs, artist, or albums
Mastermind 27819 ???
Diogenes the Cynic apple music on ios 11 will have that "social" feature just like spotify, you can follow/add friends playlist to yours/see what you're friends are listening in real time etc
I prefer Apple Music, Ive been with them for about a year and a half, and you got a few things wrong. On Apple Music, you CAN follow other subscribers playlists, and you can change the audio quality if you choose to.
Rappers U can also do that on Spotify
Joel Yonas he didn’t say you couldn’t. He did, though, say you couldn’t do that on Apple
I see you bumping that Vince Staples👀
Boy yeah right, yeah right, yeah right, boy yeaaaahhh
@@aslye Spotify is better
How do you sync your iTunes playlist to Spotify?
for clarification Spotify uses a 320kbit mp3 stream while Apple uses 256aac stream which are both actually quite the same when it comes to sound quality
True. But Spotify still gives you more sound quality options to choose from, which Apple does not. That's why Spotify won the Sound Quality section.
It wins because it can let listeners choose a WORSE sound quality?
Like the comment suggested... they have little to no sound difference when played at their best level... so really the only thing adjusting your sound level to differ from apple is by reducing its quality. Great feature
It is a great feature because it allows you to save data if you're on a cellular connection and are watching how much data you use.
lordhelmchen100 Spotify encodes in .ogg
Dwee Phan you can also choose higher quality on Spotify though. And you can distinguish between what streaming quality you want and what download quality you want
8:26 uhhhhhh heard of 'My New Music Mix' and 'My Favourites Mix'? Literally the same as the 'Discover Weekly' and 'Daily Mixes'. Little disappointed you didn't pick it up as Apple touts those two playlists as one of their big features as they are apparently way better than Spotify's version...
And why exactly are those better? Cause ure butthurt maybe haha?
I can't see how anyone could complain about having "only" 10'000 songs. Also you're cute as hell.
#FirstWorldProblems
If you listen to a lot of albums that limit fills up quick and it's really frustrating. I hit the limit within in a couple months of using the app and then had to constantly debate what to get rid of every time I wanted to save something new. It's such a needless limitation, there's no reason for it to be there at all and that's what makes it so obnoxious. Like I agree 99% of users are more casual listeners than me and won't come anywhere near the limit, but that just makes it more questionable as to why they'd have the limit at all, it's only going to annoy their biggest users.
Not to mention the fuckin' condescending message they give you when you hit the limit in lieu of a normal error message - "epic collection, friend!" eugh fuck off with that
That's one of the reasons I moved to Apple Music. I couldn't download all my songs because I was maxed out. Any music that I want to listen to in the future or I might just add the whole album even though I don't necessarily listen to all the songs. So that's why mine is so full
LOL
Music junkies.. we out here lol
What if i have my songs in an 3rd-party app (iMusic; youtubedownloader). I don’t think there is a way to import the songs to any of them, right?
On android you can go straight from the song you are currently listening to to the artist of the song
BritishIdiots on ios too
Good video 👍🏼 tons of good info
thanks for watching
Andy Slye u just forgot to mention if u have a big music library iTunes is extremely slow. Also iTunes deletes your whole library randomly so better have a back up
music is getting individual profile pages so you can share playlists or music you listen to with your friends in iOS 11. You also get to make party playlists. I personally also prefer music
PR - Worlds you could always shares playlists on Spotify and they have a new driving feature I prefer Spotify
Marshmallow EA / 2k Yeah I know, Apple adding those things just makes Apple Music better. I still prefer it right now over Spotify but that’s my personal preference
PR - Worlds true true imo tho Apple music's just a copy on Spotify
Marshmallow EA / 2k It also works really well since it’s built into the system itself. You can ask Siri to play things for you etc. it also has a bigger library
PR - Worlds tru but Spotify was the original with all these features and Apple live money so they copied Spotify
Maybe off topic but i have to ask. How can i know that music i downloaded is original and not ripped from youtube?
GREAT review Andy. Super comprehensive and expeditious at the same time. Well done!
Thanks Rob!
Woohoo !!! Finallly !!!!! Thank you very much!!!! 😊😭😭🙏
LOL Tidal
iTouchAppReviewers I used tidal'S premium HIFI 1 month trial but...the difference between those both was only the volume....tidal has more volume and spotify has less....if I changed one setting in spotify where it's audio normalisation is on and I set it to off , I didn't noticed much difference in sound quality on both... and spotify'S interface is worlds best... tidal... I don't think it'll grow up but... and it's 19.99 dollars a month which is insane..... if tidal'S HIFI and spotify meets together , the world will blow out with incredible sounding music! But it should be maximum 13.99 dollars a month for HIFI...
p.s.s. santosh what audio equipment were you using? It depends a lot on what equipment you actually use. Obviously, if you run TIDAL HIFI with shitty earbuds or 20 dollars headphones, almost no difference will be heard for you, But if you use HI-FI or high-resolution equipment's with TIDAL HIFI ( or master version on you computer) the differences are quite palpable.
bubukill1 I was about to say something but you already did
iTouchAppReviewers apple sucks you know
Erik liljeberg haha really? I didn’t know. Thanks for the heads up!
I download songs using spotify and the u cancel the membership can u still listen offline using like another music player app,
haroon miah you would be put on spotify free
How come you forgot about Crossfading in Spotify
Never use it
Spotify has Higher quality streaming
@@elvisvan up to 320kbps
Nope
wha is he quali on apple ?
thats not true
FraX well it is
I switched to Apple Music a while back to fuel my Apple Watch, and I have not looked back since. Nah, just kidding. I look back every day. Although Apple Music delivers what I want, Spotify just feels more fluent in use. The Dark Theme, the playlist game (which Spotify totally dominates), and long formed habits that are not easily broken. Apple needs to do something about their user interface, it is kinda looking like they are not even trying to develop this further.
Is there a possibility to use Apple Music via AirPlay on Android? E.g. Stream a song from an Android device to my HiFi equipment.
I've been a hardcode Spotify user for over 10 years. I wouldn't hear a bad word said about it, boy how wrong I was. I've recently left them because Apple Music buries it completely in terms of sound quality, catalogue of music, much better radio stations, and the video content alone is worth every penny. It remembers exactly where you are in a program track even if you click off on to another track or radio station. Plus it looks so much prettier to click the big chunky album covers in your car. The user experience is so much better. I won't be going back to Spotify as long as Apple Music is here. No contest.
Steve I’m stuck between the teo
Two
I havent had an ipod(apple music) in a few years and i dont get songs on my phone to save space, i now have spotify on my phone and xbox and am currently in a free 3month trial but cant figure out how to add multiple songs to playlists at once, I remember playlist making being easy and fast on my ipod, is there no way to do that on spotify? If not, having to add songs individually to spotify playlists is a deal breaker for me.
you clearly didnt watch the video
Miss G'elle yea
Awesome review Andy! This helped me a lot in choosing what's right for me. Double thumbs up bro! 👍👍
Thanks!
Plus Spotify is giving me free Hulu now.
How??
Yeah they're giving Hulu plus for premium users.
Thats true, I love that, so worth it
$5 a month for spotify and hulu.
For College Students
How much accs can you sign in, in spotify premium
On my tablet I have no idea why I don't have to pay for Spotify I can stream any song on wifi but on my iPhone I can't so I don't understand why? But I pay Apple Music for my phone and don't pay Spotify on my tablet I'm always on wifi or I use my hotspot so I have no problems
Jacqueline its called spotify for tablets and it has all premium features but downloads (and add)
ads*
I don't get charged taxes. My account is in Cali. It's $9.99 every month for me
For Apple Music?
exactly
Step 1: take spotify
Step 2: slap an apple logo over it
Step 3: block spotify on apple products
Step 4: ...?
Step 5: Profit!
The previewing song feature on Spotify isn't available anymore
11:40 Apple Music have that feature now .
so does spotify.
😂😂 you weren’t Gonna take defeat huh ?
What feature?
Spotify. Is. Best.
AniCommie - Kun I agree with that now. I had Apple Music and their program kept changing my album art to my ripped CDs. Once I closed my Apple Music account I discovered that all of my ripped music was gone. Their program deleted all my ripped music. They don’t have the rights to mess with our ripped music just because they don’t have what we ripped onto our Macs. Needless to say I will not be going back to Apple Music.It me years to get all they deleted in a mater of minutes GRRRRRRR.
Apple Music will delete all your ripped music.. And It changes your album art. Lots of bugs or either they do it on purpose. I cancelled my Apple Music Account. Once this was done I discovered that all my ripped music was gone.. I also lost approximately $50 to their App Store when all my paid apps broke when they released IOS11. Last year I also heard about Apple slowing down older devices. With everything I’ve been through and learned, In February I traded my iPhone 7Plus in for a Samsung Note 8. My iPhone 8Plus will be my last iPhone.
So they deleted your music from your computer?
@@alexojeda9048 when I closed my Apple Music Account all my ripped Music disappeared. Gone. Even when I had it they kept changing my Album art to my CDs that I ripped to my Macbook Air. My ripped Music was not their to delete or tamper with. Also, when they released IOS 11 all my paid apps that I bought over the years that worked until they released IOS 11 BROKE!
lovingorca I had a similar experience with Google Play Music. They were will to let you upload your library onto their service as a digital locker for free; good for 35,000 songs. What I started to realize is that they matched my content with family-friendly non-explicit versions of the songs; not what I wanted. They claimed that by agreeing to their terms of service contract they had the right to do so. Needless to say I was extremely pissed by this. Luckily I keep several copies of my media libraries in case of corporate fuck ups. I'm guessing you didn't or maybe you did, I don't know; hope you did.
Solid video. Deserves the 1M views
Thanks!
Why did Spotify remove the desktop lyrics feature and the long hold for preview
