Apple Music has come a long way. I felt at one time that Spotify was clearly the best streaming service out there. But with the improvements that AM has made in regards to gapless playback, song credits, karaoke etc. I really believe AM is the best streaming service available at the moment.

I have both services and always thought that Apple Music had an edge in audio quality. That being said, I much prefer using Spotify as I find the app much friendlier to use. I also prefer how Spotify functions across different devices, it works very seamlessly between my phones, iPad, Apple TVs, HomePods, and echo devices. Apple needs to work on the interface/user experience.

I switched from Spotify to Apple Music for three main reasons:
1. External Files Support: Apple Music makes it easy to add my own files to my Apple Music library. These files even sync to all my devices.
2. Smart Playlists: I can create playlists that are automatically populated based on Boolean logic. Some examples include a playlist that contains all songs in my library released in 2023 and a playlist that contains all no longer available songs, so I know which ones to replace using the previously mentioned feature.
3. Spreadsheet-Like Desktop Interface: Apple Music gives you several columns of properties to hide or show in your library, such as the last time you listened to a song and the genre of the song.

PS: great video, by the way! And no annoying sponsor commercials in it.
Love it!

White Sea Studio did a good comparison video using a song that he had mixed for a client to test each major service for data loss vs the original master and vs each service at each tier’s maximum streaming bit rate . He explains his methodology in the video too. It’s a good watch. I’d also like to see you compared YouTube music since it comes with YouTube premium and allows you to add videos people have just uploaded into you audio only playlists on YouTube music

Really appreciate your detailed analysis of Spotify and Apple Music. Very enlightening. Would love to hear your views on other music services as well--Tidal and Qobuz in particular.

Thanks for the review. I was hoping you would talk about Airplay and the quality of wireless streaming connections for both services. It's clear that while Apple Music connected to my network wirelessly is very good sounding (using Audirvana Studio), it's clear that when I connect my MacBook Pro (to my LAN with an ethernet cable (using a good network switch which feeds my steaming DAC) and streaming Apple Music upnp, the quality of the music is noticeable better. I am still hazy about Airplay's capabilities....

You are so right with everything you say. I love watching your videos but they are few and far between. We need more content

you people have my sub! what a great comparison

excellent presentation - I learned a lot, thank you

Didn't say a word about Dolby Atmos? Among other things, it's one of the main reasons why I choose Apple Music.

Amazon Music (standard) please! Also, what was the specific track that you ABXed lossless to 320kbps 14/15 trials and how did you determine they were from exactly the same master?
6 |
Well, by now it is fairly straightforward and simple for me. I use spotify for genre specific music recommendations based on my listening experiences and Apple Music for playing it out loud on my hifi and also for streaming specific songs

As an Amazon Music HD user, I'd love to see that thrown into the mix. It also has an exclusive mode on PC, but I have to confess that until this video I was never fully clear on what it did.

Lossless switcher was unstable and mucked up other facets of my audio when using. Granted, my Macs are older and I use then in odd ways(broadcasting)but for me at least, it wasn't a end all solution for me.
5 |
i am again confused by the mac switching are you saying that everysong that you play on applle music you have to switch to the bitrate / sample rate from what is showing on the hud interface?
and for windows you're saying you can't play lossless with apple music preview , again I don't get that either?

I’m just gonna stay on Spotify because it just works. At the end of the day as long as I’m enjoying the music does it really matter what you are using?

Good. Bing deeply in the Apple ecosystem, if you want to stream Apple Music to a hifi system, does airplay allow high quality streaming? Which streamers work best with Apple music? Is the eversolo as good as advertised for this? Thanks
