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.
@@ALROD as someone that doesn't use what my friend's use i can say that it is very frustrating sharing music links. Sometimes we bother searching the song in our own service other times we are just too lazy to do that. its not a dealbreaker for me i am still going to use what i think is the best value for me. Currently i am on a youtube music family plan looking to switch to an apple music family plan (atmos is awesome)
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.
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 used to love Spotify but their constant laziness with releasing Lossless format, pushing audio books current price increase has made me move to Apple Music. Apple Music is much better now and has easily caught up with Spotify. Spotify still sounds like listening to music from an empty tin can even on my expensive headphones.
Apple Music is the way to go: Better visuals Better audio quality Better performance Dolby atmos Cheaper pricetag Pays artists more per stream Lyrics feature works much better Its a no brainer. Edit: Okay I admit it, I switched back to Spotify.
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.
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
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.
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.
@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 😁
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.
you could probably kind of make shareplay work with any speaker by just changing the device type in the settings to car stereo. of course then the phone will think you are driving and go into the driving mode. edit: i'm speaking for ios 17 users
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.
No audiophile ever is listening to music from streaming as a main source. Audiophiles often prefer owned music, phsysical, or at least downloaded in FLAC. No streaming can give you real audiophile experience
@@averageyoutubeuser2 Ive been using apple music for 1 month now and the audio quality is so much better and the interface is really clean and simple ill be staying with it
I used to use Spotify for many years and I was happy. I switched to Apple Music for several reasons: - better performance - because I am in the Apple cosmos - better price - the algorithm is now as good as Spotify - far better sound and even Dolby Athmos The only thing I miss at Apple is „connect“ . I use Sonos and with Apple I can’t connect directly to Sonos. I need the Sonos App, but there I can’t give songs a like or make a playlist
You forget to mention the seamless continuity Apple Music works across all Apple devices. From iPhone tap to HomePod, from Watch transfer instantly to Mac, from iPad continues to AppleTV. Yes, they only works for Apple devices but Ngl the way it works instantly even with location and space awareness without fiddle around the apps is nothing sort of magical.
@@ivorysteele You still need to open the apps on individual device. It is a different experience with Music. For example, it automatically switch to watch when it detects you wearing watch.
I’m genuinely confused as to why you want your music streaming service to recommend you the stuff that you’re already listening to. Shouldn’t recommendations be for things you *haven’t* listened to?
8:13 it does. You have to turn on the setting in the app on the device. I recently had some local files downloaded on my phone. It used to be easier, but the local files are also available on Spotify on phones etc
The difference is its not cloud based, its pushed to your phone via your computer to a downloaded playlist. Its finnecky at best and you cant cast those songs to wifi speakers
I can’t switch to Apple Music from Spotify because of 2 reasons: - Spotify connect - The easy of adding or removing a song from a playlist on Spotify. Pressing that green checkmark from the top right, you get that list and you can easily check or uncheck the Spotify playlist where your song is
@@andrewgale9133 yes, but on Spotify with just one checkmark I can add/remove a song from a playlist. On Apple Music, deleting from library will delete the song from all playlists, not just one.
The SharePlay feature on CarPlay works with both iPhone and Android. The player will appear in the browser of the Android phone if the Music app is not available.
I found that for some reason, Spotify has more music and different tracks and remixes than Apple Music. Don’t get wrong the quality of Apple Music is great. To create a playlist Spotify it’s super simple compared to Apple Music. Unfortunately, Spotify price will go way up expensive with the family plan, with that said, I might consider to get the Apple Music family plan.
Spotify actually had a karoke feature a few months back that i used with my friends. I believe it was a beta feature because tgey removed it a few weeks after i started using it, which was an interesting choice to say the least.
At 8:20, you're wrong. You can input music from local files into spotify on desktop and then as long as your phone is connected to the same wifi network, it will sync to your phone. You can then play this from your phone offline whenever you want, I've been doing it for years for the very few songs I like that spotify doesn't have :)
11:40 Something to keep in mind, even Apple’s normal AAC codec sounds better than Spotify! Spotify still uses MP3’s, even in the “high quality” setting!
I used both originally Apple Music and then switched to Spotify for about 2 years. I eventually switched back to Apple Music I liked the lyrics on apple better plus the lossless audio
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
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
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.
I came across a video where someone redesigned spotifys UI and it was excellent. I think that’s just what she does on her channel but it was awesome. I wish Spotify would listen to their users.
I downloaded apple music on my 21 ultra a few months ago only becuase a friend of mine wanted my playlist but she had apple music. I actually had to use the sponsor of this vid to do that but what i found was that when i was listening to music on apple music, it was much more clear and crisp and i heard things ive never heard before on alot of songs and i was using airpods max at that time whiles on a Samsung phone. I also loved that apples app had lots of color and the way the lyrics were synced and how they blurred out the past and future lyrics. The only thing that i didnt like about apple music is that it got kind of confusing at times. I actually switched over to using it for a week but it just felt a bit confusing and i prefer spotifys way of presenting music.
double check in your spotify settings and make sure Audio Quality is set to High/Max on wifi and cellular data. that way it'll grab the highest quality version for music
Which headphones you use now or which in ear buds you use to listen to? And why did you stop using AirPods Max? Just curious. I hope you see my message. Would really appreciate your response.
@JeskidoYT Yh I have my spotify on Very High for both cellular and wifi I have normalize audio set to off. What I realized over the years is that spotifys audio on phones and pc are slightly different. With the earbuds and headphones I use, there seems to always be more bass and I tend to hear the instruments a tad bit more clearly on my laptop and pc. Just something I found interesting.
@VineetrKamble I went to reply to another comment and realized that youtube deleted my initial response to you for some reason. OOOF. I'm currently using the Jbl Tour Pro+. Bought them on sale for a hefty discount for just 60 bucks on ebay directly from Harman Audio. It was refurbished but it was practically brand new. I've bought from Harman Audios refurbished on ebay 4 times in the past 2 years and they have all been pretty much brand new.I also just bought an Akg Y600nc, wanted to buy these for a while but couldnt bring myself to do it until last week, and they dont dissapoint either. I stopped using the Airpods Max because the sound signature was too flat for me and they didn't get as loud as I wanted them to. I gave them to my younger sister and she has zero complaint watching Grey's Anatomy all day on them. Also, like I said in my original comment, I use Samsung so, some of the features I couldn't use and their was no way to change the eq of the headphones themselves.

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!!
Apple music wins hands down. I use my stereo paired homepods everyday no joke for music and airplay. And it has dolby atmos which makes songs feel more full and rich.
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 TH-cam 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 used to use Spotify (free), but after several great recommendations from friends and teachers, I tried out Apple Music, and because I use AirPods Pro (Second gen) I fell in love because of Dolby Atmos and Spacial Audio, and Lossless Audio.
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 TH-cam 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.
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 TH-cam, but they come with ads or you need to pay an additional fee, where Apple Music includes it.
I feel you should have compared a song with all the best settings or the equivalent from both streaming platforms and shared the settings you used for both
Someone should do an experiment with contestants to see which app is picked.They listen without knowing what app is playing. Dont know if that covers most variables though Would be interesting to see
It is different as in the speaker is connected to the internet directly and you can control the music directly from any device Another example for this would be you are playing Spotify on you laptop while working you can control what music is playing with any device which has Spotify, you can use your phone, your smart speaker etc
@@sarangagrawal1560 thanks, that's helpful, now let me ask this... the speaker is connected to the internet, via wifi, most likely. My laptop is also on wifi... couldn't I control Apple Music and the speaker from my laptop? Or would I have to use Bluetooth?
@@fbcpraiseno, the weird thing about Apple Music is you can only control it from the device it’s playing from. So if I’m using AM from my PlayStation while gaming, I can’t control the music from my phone as it’s a separate device on a ‘different’ session. Whereas Spotify Connect you can start a playlist from your phone then jump over to your laptop or tablet (any device really) to add more songs to the queue, play pause etc. just more cohesive
2:48 - Many of these caveats apply primarily to the mobile version of Spotify where as the PC version is almost like the paid one as I don't even get ads despite using the free tier
I have a lot of songs I.e. MP3 files on my phone. I tried Apple Music and it disabled/greyed out a lot of my own songs. Called support. They said Apple Music wasn’t meant for people like me. So Spotify it is. No regrets. Spotify doesn’t mess with my personal MP3 files.
Trying out Apple Music with their Apple One Premier trial and I already run into glitches. Selecting one of my previous stations during CarPlay it might play or not. Sometimes I get an error
Question. I can’t decide, i was thinking apple but my iPad has a different Apple ID (school reasons) so if i got Apple Music I wouldn’t be able to use it over all my devices. But the student package also comes with Apple TV sooooo i need some opinions. Thanks
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?
Whoops, should clarify, that audio wasn’t taken from the iPad speakers (for a tablet they are good though). The audio was actually taken from a Sonos Move 2. - Josh
TH-cam 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 TH-cam music, TH-cam becomes ad-free. Now that is a no-brainer. Spotify or Apple music cannot even come close.
I was a Spotify user for the longest and the thing with algorithm is that it would play and shuffle the same songs even though i’ve hid the song before. The shuffle algorithm is just too repetitive. Much rather prefer apple music algorithm
I have SUCH an old person comment. I use Apple Music because I still OWN music both iTunes purchases I made before streaming as well as Music Match of my uploaded songs. How archaic...I digitized 1000's of CDs and vinyl records. My daughters ask why - in some cases it is specific music - a version with a particular solo, or songs that get deleted off Apple Music or songs not available on the USA streaming, or older music that was never digitized. I''ll never switch.
I rely on Spotify connect a lot. It's really frustrating that they haven't managed to get us better quality streaming yet but the fact is, every time I try and leave Spotify, I can't get any other service to do better than about 70% of my songs. 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'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.
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.
@@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.
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.
I honestly do not understand why Apple Music's recommendations are so off the mark. I have been using TIDAL for the past few months and their recommendations are more on point than those from Apple Music. Could you do a comparison between Apple Music and TIDAL in the future?
I just use Spotify because it's what I've been using for like 15 years. I barely use or care about all the extra features of either and just find it convenient to have all the playlists I've made over all this time.
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.
I liked Apple Music more I tried Spotify years before and hated it I tried Spotify premium again for about 2 months I honestly am somewhat still liking it but I do still prefer Apple Music it’s ironic what I’m about to say but “it’s somewhat aesthetically pleasing” and if you have a tv the lyrics will move like the vocals so if the vocals are building up to where the vocalist is yelling the vocals the lyrics will get slower and shake I find it a very good detail
I do have a lot of files from my PC in my spotify playlists used on the phone. You just have to do a local playlist with the desired PC files and then download it on your phone while your pc is running. If those songs are in other not downloaded playlists you are still able to listen to them, even if your PC is off.
Another new feature being added towards Apple Music is the addition of Music Haptics in the newly added iOS 18 and actually has support for a catalog of songs. Another benefit of Apple Music could also be its ability to preserve more battery, as spotify consumes more battery…another way it wins is monthly replay But, Spotify can still have its advantages such as the ones stated in this video (not familiar with Spotify interface)
I use both because when I want podcasts I use Spotify and music is Apple Music and even though tho I don’t have premium I don’t have ads and I can choose my songs
Wonderful comparison video. Loved it and the best part was your sponsor. Which I literally used myself right away after watching your video to transfer my music from Spotify to Apple Music. Mainly due to a seamless experience and lossless audio + Dolby Atmos. Thanks!! :)
The Spotify recommendations is the worst recommendations I’ve ever seen. For 2 years they had suggesting me the music I already knew, or it’s music from my favourites, or even it’s music I completely disliked. There is no way I can discover something new by using Spotify. 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. And of course: - Appearance; - Lyrics; - Live album covers; - Beautiful and convenient Desktop App; - Sound quality ❤.
Okay but can someone explain to me why my Spotify algorithm seems to have gotten worse in the past month or so? I used discover weekly to get new music, or simply using the radio feature on a song gave me new or similar songs, where as now I feel like this feature gives me songs I already have in my playlist or songs that are nothing like the original one used to start the radio. From rap to folk , from rock to mongolian throat singing.. Idk, feel like Spotify used to be better at providing new songs with the same vibe
I used Spotify before apple music and i couldn't stand the fact it was shoving stuff i didn't care about in the home page. Compared to apple music where it only shows music and my personalized recommendations - if i want the radio or podcasts there is a sepreat tab for that instead of a massive list of everything. I don't get how that is better than apple musics layout.
There is an iTunes Remote - an app for controlling Apple Music on a computer from the iPhone, but it’s just not as good as Spotify Connect and is slightly outdated. I have been waiting for this function to be added for years.
Honestly, Apple Music is better.. but Spotify connect is a feature I value, and Spotify's community playlists is also something I use a lot. I still subscribe to both..
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.
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.
I experienced both of them. I recently switched due to the increase of the price of Spotify Premium. One thing I miss from Spotify is the organization. Apple Music is not as organized as Spotify is. Other than that, I love Apple Music.
With the free tier, were you able to transfer everything? Or did you have to pay to move it all? I have about 3K liked songs on my library and I don’t know how to transfer them all.
@@Derpalerpa nope, the free only allows 500 songs. I bought the premium plan for a month, and allowed my family to use it to transfer their library as well.
หลายเดือนก่อน
So, tried maxed out settings on both, paid tier and there is 0 actual rea-life noticable difference between the 2, even with the full Lossless Hi-Res apple codec applied. This is with an Iphone 15 Pro + Airpods Pro 2nd Gen. Literally, no noticable difference between the 2 apps... Spotify actually allows for higher volume. The difference will never be noticeable with bluetooth earbuds, you need a wired headset for it, which I will never use outside of my home.
I really want to use Apple Music but I have Airpods Pro 2 and it doesn’t support lossless music. I have bought hundreds of musics from iTunes and I don’t want to delete them. Besides, purchased musics doesn’t have lossless option. So, I am gonna still use Spotify for a while.
The songs you buy from iTunes do support lossless and Dolby atmos the only reason it doesn’t pop up it’s because you need to remove the song from the phone or device and then re-add it, then it will activate the atmos and lossless. Atmos and lossless is only available with the subscription.
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.

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

Apple Music is much better now and has easily caught up with Spotify. Spotify still sounds like listening to music from an empty tin can even on my expensive headphones.
That last part 😂
Spotify's UI design is also abhorrent and convoluted, and so Apple Music is much better in that respect.

Music is music. Its music. Just dont mix it with something annoying.
And apple music just for music enthusiasts.

Better visuals

Its a no brainer.

Agree, but only Apple devices (not only iPhone but all of them) can benefit from Apple Music more.

@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 😁
I agree. I’ve had way better recommendations in my Discover on Apple Music way more than on my Spotify
Love Apple Music. Discovered the most music there, especially EDM.
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.
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.
One thing I like with Spotify is how you can find random peoples playlists
Will there be a comparison video with TH-cam Music?
Between Spotify and TH-cam Music? Yes! Out next week.
@@6MonthsLater one man, one word! 👍🏼
@@6MonthsLaterAnd Apple Music against TH-cam Music?
1:57 with iOS 18 this is now available on any bluetooth or airplay speaker, not just the car
Wait really?
you could probably kind of make shareplay work with any speaker by just changing the device type in the settings to car stereo. of course then the phone will think you are driving and go into the driving mode. edit: i'm speaking for ios 17 users
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.
No audiophile ever is listening to music from streaming as a main source. Audiophiles often prefer owned music, phsysical, or at least downloaded in FLAC. No streaming can give you real audiophile experience
You’re gonna regret it
Switched from Spotify to Apple Music today and I can already tell the difference. I'll be staying with Apple Music.
I just downloaded apple music first three months are free and I'm okay with that
How is your experience with apple music so far?
@@averageyoutubeuser2 Ive been using apple music for 1 month now and the audio quality is so much better and the interface is really clean and simple ill be staying with it
I used to use Spotify for many years and I was happy.
I switched to Apple Music for several reasons:
- better performance
- because I am in the Apple cosmos
- better price
- the algorithm is now as good as Spotify
- far better sound and even Dolby Athmos
The only thing I miss at Apple is „connect“ . I use Sonos and with Apple I can’t connect directly to Sonos. I need the Sonos App, but there I can’t give songs a like or make a playlist
The performance is definitly not better nor is the algorithm or features. It costs more because its bettee than AM and you can alrrady get DA
You forget to mention the seamless continuity Apple Music works across all Apple devices. From iPhone tap to HomePod, from Watch transfer instantly to Mac, from iPad continues to AppleTV. Yes, they only works for Apple devices but Ngl the way it works instantly even with location and space awareness without fiddle around the apps is nothing sort of magical.
Spotify works the exact same way
apple music is also on android windows and some smart tvs
@@ivorysteele You still need to open the apps on individual device. It is a different experience with Music. For example, it automatically switch to watch when it detects you wearing watch.
One advantage: comes with yt premium. Thats it.
@@ivorysteelecorrect, but that was one of the things he highlighted for Spotify…when in fact they both do it.
I’m genuinely confused as to why you want your music streaming service to recommend you the stuff that you’re already listening to. Shouldn’t recommendations be for things you *haven’t* listened to?
TH-cam in a nutshell
Ha, you're right.
See also Amazon recommending stuff you have already bought! Shouldn't they know?
Apple Music has also smart playlists that you can setup (only on desktop) yourself.
But I hate missing out on Spotify session feature.
8:13 it does. You have to turn on the setting in the app on the device. I recently had some local files downloaded on my phone. It used to be easier, but the local files are also available on Spotify on phones etc
The difference is its not cloud based, its pushed to your phone via your computer to a downloaded playlist. Its finnecky at best and you cant cast those songs to wifi speakers
I can’t switch to Apple Music from Spotify because of 2 reasons:
- Spotify connect
- The easy of adding or removing a song from a playlist on Spotify. Pressing that green checkmark from the top right, you get that list and you can easily check or uncheck the Spotify playlist where your song is
Ngl it’s still pretty easy to remove a song from AM
yeah you can do the same in one click on AM. You can chose to directly delete it from library
@@andrewgale9133 yes, but on Spotify with just one checkmark I can add/remove a song from a playlist. On Apple Music, deleting from library will delete the song from all playlists, not just one.
The spotify connect is one of the best features of spotify but for true sound apple is better.
+1. The fact that the company which boasts about seamlessness and handoff still doesn't have such a feature is mind boggling
The SharePlay feature on CarPlay works with both iPhone and Android. The player will appear in the browser of the Android phone if the Music app is not available.
I found that for some reason, Spotify has more music and different tracks and remixes than Apple Music. Don’t get wrong the quality of Apple Music is great. To create a playlist Spotify it’s super simple compared to Apple Music. Unfortunately, Spotify price will go way up expensive with the family plan, with that said, I might consider to get the Apple Music family plan.
My biggest issue with Spotify is the library and the app design a little bit
Spotify actually had a karoke feature a few months back that i used with my friends. I believe it was a beta feature because tgey removed it a few weeks after i started using it, which was an interesting choice to say the least.
I gave up on Spotify when it recommended Drake. I listen to 90's Hip Hop and Eminem.
Spotify recommendations are so bad it’s crazy
Working in tech for a long time. Whoever has the hardware, and software and can walk into a store, wins every time.
Share playlists with friends? I have no friends. That makes it easier for me to pick Apple Music :)
spotify > npc
At 8:20, you're wrong. You can input music from local files into spotify on desktop and then as long as your phone is connected to the same wifi network, it will sync to your phone. You can then play this from your phone offline whenever you want, I've been doing it for years for the very few songs I like that spotify doesn't have :)
Great video. Much appreciated.
I am stuck with TH-cam Music because i have TH-cam Premium which skips ads and includes TH-cam Music.
Same, but YTM keeps giving me problems I might just switch and pay for both at this point. I need YT premium for regular YT
11:40 Something to keep in mind, even Apple’s normal AAC codec sounds better than Spotify! Spotify still uses MP3’s, even in the “high quality” setting!
I used both originally Apple Music and then switched to Spotify for about 2 years. I eventually switched back to Apple Music I liked the lyrics on apple better plus the lossless audio
Apple Music all day. Don’t need friend sharing for my music playlist. Better audio and more music selection. All I need
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
WHAT THE FUCK
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
What? That's not true at all lol
that’s not true 😂
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.
2:15 sooooo I can’t control the music on my HomePod via my phone? Or control the music playing on my phone or Mac via my watch? 🥴
You can control the HomePod from your phone, you can control the phone music from your watch.
I came across a video where someone redesigned spotifys UI and it was excellent. I think that’s just what she does on her channel but it was awesome. I wish Spotify would listen to their users.
I downloaded apple music on my 21 ultra a few months ago only becuase a friend of mine wanted my playlist but she had apple music. I actually had to use the sponsor of this vid to do that but what i found was that when i was listening to music on apple music, it was much more clear and crisp and i heard things ive never heard before on alot of songs and i was using airpods max at that time whiles on a Samsung phone. I also loved that apples app had lots of color and the way the lyrics were synced and how they blurred out the past and future lyrics. The only thing that i didnt like about apple music is that it got kind of confusing at times. I actually switched over to using it for a week but it just felt a bit confusing and i prefer spotifys way of presenting music.
double check in your spotify settings and make sure Audio Quality is set to High/Max on wifi and cellular data. that way it'll grab the highest quality version for music
Which headphones you use now or which in ear buds you use to listen to?
And why did you stop using AirPods Max?
Just curious. I hope you see my message. Would really appreciate your response.
@JeskidoYT Yh I have my spotify on Very High for both cellular and wifi I have normalize audio set to off. What I realized over the years is that spotifys audio on phones and pc are slightly different. With the earbuds and headphones I use, there seems to always be more bass and I tend to hear the instruments a tad bit more clearly on my laptop and pc. Just something I found interesting.
@VineetrKamble I went to reply to another comment and realized that youtube deleted my initial response to you for some reason. OOOF.
I'm currently using the Jbl Tour Pro+. Bought them on sale for a hefty discount for just 60 bucks on ebay directly from Harman Audio. It was refurbished but it was practically brand new. I've bought from Harman Audios refurbished on ebay 4 times in the past 2 years and they have all been pretty much brand new.I also just bought an Akg Y600nc, wanted to buy these for a while but couldnt bring myself to do it until last week, and they dont dissapoint either. I stopped using the Airpods Max because the sound signature was too flat for me and they didn't get as loud as I wanted them to. I gave them to my younger sister and she has zero complaint watching Grey's Anatomy all day on them. Also, like I said in my original comment, I use Samsung so, some of the features I couldn't use and their was no way to change the eq of the headphones themselves.

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!!
Apple music wins hands down. I use my stereo paired homepods everyday no joke for music and airplay. And it has dolby atmos which makes songs feel more full and rich.
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 TH-cam 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 will admit though that its ability to discover new music is superior to Apple. '
Yep.
i also agree with yt music easily helps me find new songs way better then the other alternatives
I used to use Spotify (free), but after several great recommendations from friends and teachers, I tried out Apple Music, and because I use AirPods Pro (Second gen) I fell in love because of Dolby Atmos and Spacial Audio, and Lossless Audio.
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 TH-cam 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.
1:27 Never heard of tencent music, but apparently its bigger than all other music streaming platforms besides spotify.
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 TH-cam, but they come with ads or you need to pay an additional fee, where Apple Music includes it.
With TV OS 18, you can end music from one of Apple TV+ shows or movies to your music library
I feel you should have compared a song with all the best settings or the equivalent from both streaming platforms and shared the settings you used for both
1:11 also for finding underground/unpopular artists, i have found so many new artists with it
How should one go about placing one's own song on Spotify? How do various music artists around the World. Let me know. Thank you very much.
Someone should do an experiment with contestants to see which app is picked.They listen without knowing what app is playing.
Dont know if that covers most variables though
Would be interesting to see
I'm missing something... how is Spotify Connect any different from playing through your speaker from your laptop using Bluetooth?
It is different as in the speaker is connected to the internet directly and you can control the music directly from any device
Another example for this would be you are playing Spotify on you laptop while working you can control what music is playing with any device which has Spotify, you can use your phone, your smart speaker etc
@@sarangagrawal1560 thanks, that's helpful, now let me ask this... the speaker is connected to the internet, via wifi, most likely. My laptop is also on wifi... couldn't I control Apple Music and the speaker from my laptop? Or would I have to use Bluetooth?
@@sarangagrawal1560 I'm learning that this is where Apple Airplay comes in...
@@fbcpraiseyour laptop have to be connected to the speaker with airplay or bluetooth to play apple music on it
@@fbcpraiseno, the weird thing about Apple Music is you can only control it from the device it’s playing from.
So if I’m using AM from my PlayStation while gaming, I can’t control the music from my phone as it’s a separate device on a ‘different’ session.
Whereas Spotify Connect you can start a playlist from your phone then jump over to your laptop or tablet (any device really) to add more songs to the queue, play pause etc. just more cohesive
2:48 - Many of these caveats apply primarily to the mobile version of Spotify where as the PC version is almost like the paid one as I don't even get ads despite using the free tier
2:54 if you are using an iPad, you can play songs in the order you like
I have a lot of songs I.e. MP3 files on my phone. I tried Apple Music and it disabled/greyed out a lot of my own songs. Called support. They said Apple Music wasn’t meant for people like me. So Spotify it is. No regrets. Spotify doesn’t mess with my personal MP3 files.
Trying out Apple Music with their Apple One Premier trial and I already run into glitches. Selecting one of my previous stations during CarPlay it might play or not. Sometimes I get an error
Question. I can’t decide, i was thinking apple but my iPad has a different Apple ID (school reasons) so if i got Apple Music I wouldn’t be able to use it over all my devices. But the student package also comes with Apple TV sooooo i need some opinions. Thanks
Go for it. Take advantage of the student package. Log the ipad out of the other apple ID and log your current one in it.
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?
1:03 Gahdaym those iPad speakers are REALLLYYY AMAZING. DAMN.
Whoops, should clarify, that audio wasn’t taken from the iPad speakers (for a tablet they are good though). The audio was actually taken from a Sonos Move 2. - Josh
TH-cam 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 TH-cam music, TH-cam becomes ad-free. Now that is a no-brainer. Spotify or Apple music cannot even come close.
😂😂😂
So many facts!
@@kennygaming208 did jay z pay you to leave that comment?
2:31 what’s with AirPlay 2 ?
Anyone have issues with Spotify Eq being unstable ?
If you use the Apple Music “for you” option, the recommendations are comparable to Spotify
I appreciate your summary on this bro
I was a Spotify user for the longest and the thing with algorithm is that it would play and shuffle the same songs even though i’ve hid the song before. The shuffle algorithm is just too repetitive. Much rather prefer apple music algorithm
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...
You will never get better audio quality through Bluetooth rather than plugging in directly. That was the point
ive tried apple, spotify and youtube music and spotify is the best ive tried yet and some features i just couldnt go without
I have SUCH an old person comment. I use Apple Music because I still OWN music both iTunes purchases I made before streaming as well as Music Match of my uploaded songs. How archaic...I digitized 1000's of CDs and vinyl records. My daughters ask why - in some cases it is specific music - a version with a particular solo, or songs that get deleted off Apple Music or songs not available on the USA streaming, or older music that was never digitized. I''ll never switch.
I rely on Spotify connect a lot. It's really frustrating that they haven't managed to get us better quality streaming yet but the fact is, every time I try and leave Spotify, I can't get any other service to do better than about 70% of my songs. 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.
Question is there commercials in between Apple Music songs?
No, but there is also no free options
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
This is the first time a video sponsor have intrigued me. With Spotify’s upcoming price hike I may move back over.
I honestly do not understand why Apple Music's recommendations are so off the mark. I have been using TIDAL for the past few months and their recommendations are more on point than those from Apple Music. Could you do a comparison between Apple Music and TIDAL in the future?
I just use Spotify because it's what I've been using for like 15 years. I barely use or care about all the extra features of either and just find it convenient to have all the playlists I've made over all this time.
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.
Can do this on Apple too
I’m curious how Amazon HD Music compares to these two
I liked Apple Music more I tried Spotify years before and hated it I tried Spotify premium again for about 2 months I honestly am somewhat still liking it but I do still prefer Apple Music it’s ironic what I’m about to say but “it’s somewhat aesthetically pleasing” and if you have a tv the lyrics will move like the vocals so if the vocals are building up to where the vocalist is yelling the vocals the lyrics will get slower and shake I find it a very good detail
I really want to want to switch over to apple music but the overall vibe just isn't doing it for me
I do have a lot of files from my PC in my spotify playlists used on the phone. You just have to do a local playlist with the desired PC files and then download it on your phone while your pc is running. If those songs are in other not downloaded playlists you are still able to listen to them, even if your PC is off.
Another new feature being added towards Apple Music is the addition of Music Haptics in the newly added iOS 18 and actually has support for a catalog of songs. Another benefit of Apple Music could also be its ability to preserve more battery, as spotify consumes more battery…another way it wins is monthly replay
But, Spotify can still have its advantages such as the ones stated in this video (not familiar with Spotify interface)
I use both because when I want podcasts I use Spotify and music is Apple Music and even though tho I don’t have premium I don’t have ads and I can choose my songs
share play does also work outside of the car, it is just hard to find and kind of annoying to set up
I use TH-cam Music
I weep for you
@HamAndCheeze why you say that? Lol.
Why do you hate yourself?
@@guevara7ELol TH-cam music is awful in every aspect

Wonderful comparison video. Loved it and the best part was your sponsor. Which I literally used myself right away after watching your video to transfer my music from Spotify to Apple Music. Mainly due to a seamless experience and lossless audio + Dolby Atmos. Thanks!! :)
Glad you found the tool useful as well as the video! - Josh
tell me why Spotify is till this date failed to introduce lossless support?
what is lossless support?
The Spotify recommendations is the worst recommendations I’ve ever seen. For 2 years they had suggesting me the music I already knew, or it’s music from my favourites, or even it’s music I completely disliked. There is no way I can discover something new by using Spotify.
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.
And of course:
- Appearance;
- Lyrics;
- Live album covers;
- Beautiful and convenient Desktop App;
- Sound quality ❤.
Okay but can someone explain to me why my Spotify algorithm seems to have gotten worse in the past month or so? I used discover weekly to get new music, or simply using the radio feature on a song gave me new or similar songs, where as now I feel like this feature gives me songs I already have in my playlist or songs that are nothing like the original one used to start the radio. From rap to folk , from rock to mongolian throat singing.. Idk, feel like Spotify used to be better at providing new songs with the same vibe
Not all of my favorite artist use Spotify but on Apple Music they use but Spotify ui and playlist etc is just better
I used Spotify before apple music and i couldn't stand the fact it was shoving stuff i didn't care about in the home page. Compared to apple music where it only shows music and my personalized recommendations - if i want the radio or podcasts there is a sepreat tab for that instead of a massive list of everything. I don't get how that is better than apple musics layout.
There is an iTunes Remote - an app for controlling Apple Music on a computer from the iPhone, but it’s just not as good as Spotify Connect and is slightly outdated. I have been waiting for this function to be added for years.
As long as it free and has no AD, s I'm using it
Honestly, Apple Music is better.. but Spotify connect is a feature I value, and Spotify's community playlists is also something I use a lot. I still subscribe to both..
Apple's SharePlay will work outside of car too!
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.
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.
I experienced both of them. I recently switched due to the increase of the price of Spotify Premium. One thing I miss from Spotify is the organization. Apple Music is not as organized as Spotify is. Other than that, I love Apple Music.
I like Apple Music more the past few years but watching to see people’s opinions
If you are an iphone user, definitely should go with Apple music. the feature is just great and interface is very clean to use.
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
Lossless makes no difference but the others are nice
@@philipmrch8326 It does if you're using wired headphones that support that. And even some Bluetooth headphones support hi-res lossless audio
TH-cam playist with background play is best
Thanks for the TuneMyMusic suggestion! Made my decision to move from Spotify to Apple Music really fast.
With the free tier, were you able to transfer everything? Or did you have to pay to move it all? I have about 3K liked songs on my library and I don’t know how to transfer them all.
@@Derpalerpa nope, the free only allows 500 songs. I bought the premium plan for a month, and allowed my family to use it to transfer their library as well.
So, tried maxed out settings on both, paid tier and there is 0 actual rea-life noticable difference between the 2, even with the full Lossless Hi-Res apple codec applied. This is with an Iphone 15 Pro + Airpods Pro 2nd Gen. Literally, no noticable difference between the 2 apps... Spotify actually allows for higher volume. The difference will never be noticeable with bluetooth earbuds, you need a wired headset for it, which I will never use outside of my home.
I really want to use Apple Music but I have Airpods Pro 2 and it doesn’t support lossless music. I have bought hundreds of musics from iTunes and I don’t want to delete them. Besides, purchased musics doesn’t have lossless option. So, I am gonna still use Spotify for a while.
The songs you buy from iTunes do support lossless and Dolby atmos the only reason it doesn’t pop up it’s because you need to remove the song from the phone or device and then re-add it, then it will activate the atmos and lossless. Atmos and lossless is only available with the subscription.
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.
