Apple pays the artists well. Spotify not at all.

I am going to do a bit of transitive properties here. - Talking about family = family plan to me.

So for both services we are talking 6 devices streaming their own accounts for $20 a month.

At the point in our argument there is no huge difference between the two to be honest. Same price for the same services for Music. They both provide good audio and playlist function. (lossless audio on normal speakers and car speakers doesn’t do much unless we are talking about $$$ cars/home audio and at that point this conversation isn’t happening)

The big difference for me is that we have apple mobile devices. (I tried Android some time ago but didn’t like that each company had their own skin and updates depended on how each company felt at the time. The nexus I had was great and was straight from google no extra crap but even that had a 2-3 year span though so no different than Apple for me at the time)

With Apple one (6 devices for apple music), every family member gets Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple arcade. For me this put it over the fence. Kids get more games I don’t have to pay for and we get an extra streaming service I don’t have to pay extra for won it for me.

Essentially extra value won it for me. Not just the music service.

Maybe dumb question, but how is it even noticeable? I listen to music in the car and in $100 earphones and usually just ask phone’s assistant to play shit based on my mood. I honestly can’t even tell which service it chooses between Amazon Music, Apple Music or Spotify. What’s the difference exactly?

Good luck! I tried this and failed.

  • I wanted to leave Spotify when it gave Joe Rogan a platform. Also, increased advertising of effing podcasts when I’m trying to find music
  • tried Apple Music but my family was not ok with it, and I was never able to get back to a point of reliably finding good music
  • nothing else is as available on as many types of devices.

I wish a knowledgable person would break down the pros and cons of the various streaming platforms. I use YouTube Music because Spotify has basically destroyed podcasts and gives Joe Rogan a platform, I tried Apple Music but its classical selection is totally different from the others and I didn’t have the things I had come to expect, and I still dislike YouTube. Google Play Music was literally perfect to me but nothing else is like it.
