Buying music has long been out of fashion – instead, the so-called streaming services, which make their entire extensive library available to you for a monthly fee, are clearly leading the way. Subsequently, you can play any song, album or artist according to your own taste. This is undoubtedly the most comfortable option, thanks to which there is practically no need to solve anything. Simply subscribe to the service and you're done. In order for subscribers to have the greatest possible comfort on these platforms, they will also find a number of other great functions, including, for example, the automatic generation of playlists with recommended music. This is where songs are added based on what the subscriber likes to listen to the most.
In this segment, the most important player is the Swedish giant Spotify, which, among other things, is behind the most used platform of the same name. Thanks to sophisticated algorithms, the service actually recommends music that a given person will most likely like - or you can delete unpopular songs and thus make it clear to the service that you are simply not interested in such a thing.
Apple Music is faltering
The Apple Music service boasts exactly the same function. This is a direct competition for the aforementioned Spotify, with the main focus on Apple users and the entire Apple ecosystem. As we have already mentioned, this platform also recommends songs and playlists that users might like, but they are simply not of the same quality as the competition. In general, Apple is often criticized by its subscribers for this. Although in the end it is not such a major obstacle, it is unfortunately a shame that a company like Apple does not achieve the same quality as its competitors in this segment.
Music recommendation is one of the main pillars on which Spotify is even built. Every ordinary listener from time to time finds himself in a situation where he simply does not know what kind of music he would like to play. In the case of Spotify, just choose one of the pre-prepared playlists and you're practically done. Honestly, I feel the same way about this lack. I am a subscriber to the Apple Music service and I have to confirm from my own experience that I am simply not completely satisfied with the automatically generated playlists, maybe literally at least. On the contrary, when I was still using the competition, I had the daily certainty of good content. Do you feel the same way about this lack, or do you not care about automatically generated playlists?
I don't want to recommend anything. If I could turn it off in Spotify, I would.
I, on the other hand, lack Sonos support in Apple music. Spotify supports it, so it's an obvious choice.
What do you mean? I have Sonos and it works the same for me on both platforms
I used to use spotify and switched to Apple music because it recommended music that I hated. Unfortunately, Apple is no better.
Hey. What annoys me the most about Apple Music is that it does not synchronize playlists set up in the music app on the Mac to the iPhone... So spotify...
Well, it's probably not playing somewhere, I'm fine, I have all the same music on my iPhone and Mac, including the playlist I've created
Complete agreement. But it's not just about updated playlists. Spotify also has more sophisticated music styles in its playlists, Apple offers only a few directions in rock/metal, for example, on Spotify you can go from Rocknroll to Grunge and choose what you like. What I would like to see redone is also the search... the fact that I can't find anything on "Hammet Kirk", but on "Kirk Hammet" it doesn't belong in the 21st century :D Otherwise, of course, I won't switch to Spotify, because we have a family subscription and the rest of the family doesn't mind these flaws...
