Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why? (programming.dev)

Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.

  • for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that's based on "continue playing" from current playlist.

  • for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.

in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great

  • Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
  • Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me

What are your thoughts?

Spotify Premium.

Spotify Connect alone is worth the choice between the two services, in my opinion.

Besides, Spotify doesn’t require you to update your OS in order to update the app.

Spotify Connect is the “killer app” for me as I have a couple of amplifiers with the inbuilt connect client. That being said I use plex-amp to listen to all of my ripped CDs (being collecting since buying Brothers in Arms as my first CD when it was originally released), which is Spotify like for music on the go, and it’s loss-less (then I use Bluetooth headphones :-( )
