Subscriptions are only as good of a deal as you’re getting out of it. For me, music listening is my biggest hobby and I regularly check out new and old music- buying that legally I would go bankrupt!
Yeah I remember the argument when streaming started to really take off was that instead of paying 10-15 a month on music you don’t own, use that same money to buy 1 album a month. Last year I was at around 40,000 minutes listened to on Spotify, and I used Apple Music for about 3 of those months. This year I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with all the new releases, and wouldn’t be able to purchase any of the older albums I discovered. Any time I discover a new artist I go and I can have access to their entire discography. I discovered countless albums I would have wanted to purchase but honestly wouldn’t have really had the chance to realize I like the album. Now technically I could afford to keep up with all the albums but not if I wanted to spend the same amount of money. I still purchase albums/merch to support artists I like listening to. But when it comes to having access to the music steaming all the way. Music is such a large part of my life and honestly spending 10 dollars a month until the day I die is worth it to me, and I’ll never lose that access to the music. Anyways I’m about to hop onto a family plan and save a bunch. But even if I wasn’t it’s worth it to me
IAmCjcj11 I agree, if you listen to tons of music this works for you. I do pay for UA-cam premium and listen to new music there just by making playlist. It also supports the creators I look at. So for 15 a month I get music and support creators.
TL;DR he’s not switching to Spotify or another service, he just doesn’t take advantage of the music streaming model enough anymore to justify the cost.
@@k.t.4062 Well if you put on a Apple Music Radio and just keep it flowing, it is possible. I have had days like that. Not every day, mind you, but when I need a library refresh and go exploring, I'd say even more
In that case UA-cam music or Spotify are better options. Same music, same cost for premium as AM, but if 2 years down the line you are not listening to a lot of music you can change to free version and still have access to your library.
My advice is this, DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, but check your other subscriptions if you have others and see which one you use the most or the less to save money.
I mean... I use Apple Music and Spotify... I go back and forth a lot. I love the algorithm of Spotify a lot, but I love the interface of Apple Music far better. Also, I love that Apple Music allows you to listen to your purchased or copied music alongside your cloud based streaming. Also, I love that Apple pays significantly more to artists.
I feel the exact opposite. I’ve added around 30 songs this month alone. Either 30 dollars to buy it, or 10 for the membership. Everyone’s different I guess!
Is there a reason why you're not on Spotify, or is Apple Music just the first one you tried? I want to love Apple Music but I don't find it super intuitive, I find it hard to make a library (importing everything from Spotify didn't work for shit) so I don't really use it at all. My iPhone, iPad and Mac also don't really work with it yet as the ecosystem is supposed to.
Dog's Eye I also has that problem but then I started to love Apple Music because Spotify is Lorelei very buggy and is more for android and most of my friends are on Apple Music and also it comes with your phone is wonderful, but Spotify is good because you get remixes and slowed versions
I was sitting on a 15,000 song physical library before going full streaming and it has been the doom of my attention span. Trying to micromanage libraries like that on any streaming service is hell so it just forces me to slowly stop caring.
apple music is just $5.99 in my country. I listen to music all day while working so i think i might keep it for a while. Also, the iCloud music library function is neat. in more than one occasion i wanted to listen to an album that was not available in apple music but i had it on my library.
I pay $10 a month for UA-cam Premium because I was a Google Play Music subscriber for years. I also got a free Google Home Mini because of it. I definitely prefer YT Music over Apple Music because there are UA-camrs who upload leaked songs and edited versions of songs. However I just subscribed to Apple Music for the added convenience of downloading songs to my Apple Watch and telling Siri to play a song without saying “on UA-cam Music”
Is not that we dont want to, is that people around me need my full attention everyday and I can't be listening to music all the time, my only free time is 2 hours a day for working out, and I do that 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes is not that we dislike music, is the busy life.
Interesting timing. I used Google Music, (now UA-cam Premium subscription) for years until the recent announcement to move to UA-cam Music. And boy, I felt disrespected. Within a month’s time, I moved to Apple Music (Family plan). Afterward, I realized I use multiple subscriptions for almost the same purpose. I canceled my Google One subscription recently after moving my documents. Through this experience, I researched my total about in subscriptions. I pay about $100 a month in subscription services. (Audible, UA-cam Premium, Apple Music, Apple Storage, Disney +, and Netflix). This is growing bothersome to me.
I would, too, but it doesn't make sense from a business perspective. With a music streaming service, you are getting tons of albums and songs which, altogether, are worth much more than a few hundred dollars. On top of that, the music on the service keeps expanding and growing as more people make more music. (please don't hate on me I was just explaining it for the people who didn't understand that this wasn't possible)
@@armaan1786 yes, I know what you mean. If we compare video editing tools, I`d rather pay $300 for final cut pro, than paying monthly for adobe premiere. (I´m not an apple user btw.)
I would join UA-cam Music as well, but I have a lot of songs in my Spotify library, and UA-cam Music doesn’t have some of them. Otherwise, I would switch in a heartbeat.
I tried youtube premium (witch is so nice), but I left because they include YT music (witch I hate) and I didn't like to pay for 2 music streaming services. If youtube did a cheaper plan without the music I def would pay
He just got addicted to UA-cam music simple dot. I personally used Spotify Premium, prime music, wync music, savan music, Gaana but I prefer Apple Music to be better than all the above paid service.
This video feels like I’m talking to myself. This exact thing just happened to me. But i recently started missing my Apple Music library. UA-cam focused a lot on either playing the EXACT same songs over and over or introducing you to All new songs. The balance of familiarity from my old library which ..... I’ve gained a lot of memories with, simply isn’t there with UA-cam music. It always feels like the app is forcing new songs on me, and I constantly miss the songs I had in my Apple Library. Hopefully, the UA-cam music App experience improves well enough to encourage us to create libraries, rather than constantly forcing us to discover new music
I tried to switch from Spotify to Apple Music, but I don’t like how Apple expects me to add every individual album or song into my library. I like that Spotify lets me just add an artist to my library and I can just access everything from there.
I have the exact opposite opinion when it comes to Spotify, I would like the album art and stuff in my recently added or library page. Apple music does that for me.
rotimi kayode With Spotify I can search for an artist, click “follow”, and the artist is my library. I can access their entire catalog from there. With Apple Music I search for an artist and I have to add the individual albums and songs I want for my library. It’s a hassle to me.
Kyle Parkinson I use both apps, Apple Music for my phone and Mac, Spotify on my windows PC. I never made use of the algorithm,I turned off the automatically playing feature because it kept suggesting things I don’t like for quite sometime. For me Apple Music is pretty neat and user friendly
I’m 36 and the older I get the less I find myself looking for music. I joined the Apple ecosystem quite recently,but bc the Apple Music is so nicely integrated with everything and Siri,I kinda started listening more music daily. That being said,is still not like a lot and is basically probably less than 10 songs or something around 1h worth of music. But being able to just yell to Siri what playlist to play etc,makes it easier. I’m still in 6 month worth of free trail, I don’t know if I will start paying afterwords. I know I won’t pay for Apple TV + ,that I have 1 year of free trail and still don’t find time to watch,cuz I’m constantly on Netflix.
I’ve been using apple music since 2015, around when it came out. My music library dating back to itunes is all on their, all my playlists and yearly replays are on it. I can listen to all of them offline. For me it’s definitely well worth it, I listen to music every single day and it’s great for discovering new music as well.
The way you feel about the subscriptions being an endless cycle is exactly how I felt about the iPhone upgrade plan that’s why I just stopped upgrading after the Xs and kept it
Pandora and iHeart radio are now working standalone on the Apple Watch. It’s a matter of time for other major music streaming services to follow. It’s a possibility that UA-cam Music would also follow as well as they try to gain more stakes in the industry.
I have about 27,000 songs saved on my Apple Music so Forsure never deleting it. But idk we’re different people but I’m never gonna stop listening to music no matter how old I get.
I think your reasons are totally valid mate. I use UA-cam premium on all my iOS devices with all of my family. YT music getting better each week also..
I have 1,900 songs on my iPhone, so it is definitely worth it for me. It is fine to be aware of your monthly expenses though, and nobody should judge you for that. That is exactly why I got rid of my Hulu Live TV this month. It wasn't worth the extra $50 I was paying every month to watch only a few channels regularly when I could just pay for a year of standard Hulu at once for the same price.
I've been thinking about this since the day I signed up.The fact that you're not keeping the music your paying to listen to really gets to me every time.
I recently move too to UA-cam Premium, and for me really is been great, it has all music and you got video as well. The interface does not bother me so much cause I actually just listen to music, I have my screen off and the mix option has been perfect, it knows me better than myself!!!!! (excuse my English is not my native language)
Adjusted for inflation, it cost about twice as much to play a single song on a jukebox in the late 50s / early 60s than the typical music streaming service costs per day today. I'm all for saving money and getting the best value for it, and multiple services quickly add up, but whether you buy your songs outright or go with a service, we've really come a long way.
Great video Drew. I’m a Spotify user, but I’ve recently been thinking of cancelling that service, burn all of my CDs onto iTunes and then sign up to iTunes Match. I would only then be paying £24.99 a year as opposed to £120.
To each their own! I definitely get a life-changing value from streaming services, having a “saved” library in excess of 100k songs and listening for hours a day- 30c a day is worth it for me! But it might not be for everyone, and there’s no need to pay if you’re not utilizing it :)
There was a time when buying songs from iTunes had little-to-nothing to do with being an Apple fan. Back then, it was just one of the fastest and most convenient ways to buy music.
I just convert the discs I have into music and download them via computer. A piece of cake! Saves money for me and some time. I even share my music with other friends as well to expand my playlists.
I’ve been saying this for years now where subscription don’t actually let you keep them. IMO I like buying my movies because on Netflix 1 week a good movie will be there and next week there’re gone. Why don’t people listen to me?
Tailosive Tech, that’s understandable. Some people don’t like ads. I’m personally perfectly fine with it so if I do get it I’m not going to see much of a difference because I’m so used to it. Also I don’t many anyways as it is.
I prefer to just buy them either digital/physical and occasionally subscribe for a few months if I’m traveling or working remotely alot. Then cancel it for few months etc.
I use both Apple Music and UA-cam, I’d say neither is better than the other, just suited better for different folks, being someone who listens to a lot of House, EDM and Dance music, it’s difficult to find some of the songs by lesser known artists on Apple Music, whereas it’ll probably be on UA-cam albeit at a lower quality...
I actually did the exact same thing. While the UI on UA-cam Music is not at the level of AM or Spotify, it does what I need it to do when I need to listen to music. And having that added bonus of YT Premium is huge. And honestly the UI keeps improving as they eliminate Google Play Music.
Dude I’m on the same page. Since I haven’t commuted to work in months I don’t even open the music app anymore. Thankfully I only pay the student amount but I also have UA-cam premium and got that early price too. And for the last 6 months holy cow do I love no ads, UA-cam Music and the general benefits, plus supporting creators this way is better than giving Apple that money at the end of the day.
Kudos to be an awakened soul! I agree that subscriptions when you can't even own after any amount of time is a criminal waste of money. I'm a structural engineer earning 150k per year and I STILL am budget conscious and don't believe in frivolously wasting money just because I can. I live my life on a budget every month. And subscription for a music service to me is like me charging a fee everytime someone uses a building that I design! How we allowed our entertainers to bilk us into becoming multi millionaires by allowing them to implement such scams is mind boggling to me. It is immoral and unjustified.
Yes… but explain this, sir, if you know…. So is it just our imagination or is it true ‘you do not own’ the selections of music you download from Apple iTunes Store? Is this why, if you are at a remote location, and you have no data connection, you can not listen to any of the music on your Apple device?? If this is true, why are we being ‘raped’ over by the false ‘gods’ of Apple? Or is there something we don’t get??
I'm honestly OK with UA-cam Music... I love that it comes included with UA-cam Premium which I am so grateful of being able to watch videos WITHOUT ADS!! Even the political ones.. just amazing :)
Same I used Apple Music for the 3 month free trail and 1 month after because I forgot to cancel auto renewal. I knew I wasn’t going to keep it at all because I don’t listen to too much music anyways and it’s way cheaper for me to buy the songs separately on iTunes instead for .69$ to 1.29$ individually instead and keep them forever as long as I use iTunes. BTW I posted this before I listen to the video.
Weirdly enough I’ve been debating cancelling Apple Music and signing up for YT Premium completely separately. Totally forgot about YT Music. Kinda works for me as a podcast listener 99% of the time.
I never used Apple Music. I just purchase all my songs on iTunes. I don’t like paying subscriptions. It’s worth mentioning that I bought the vast majority of songs I like well before Apple Music was released. And since it was released, I only purchased 30 songs.
I kinda had the same scenario except I’m coming from Spotify Premium instead of Apple Music and my UA-cam Premium & Spotify are charged on the same day of every month. When my student status ran up, it ran up on Spotify & UA-cam and I couldn’t justify paying the pricey amount UA-cam wants to charge (unfortunately I did not have UA-cam Red, so I was not grandfathered into the cheaper prices) and also paying Spotify so I made the hard choice of cancelling Spotify-I use UA-cam so much and once you go no ads you can’t go back & I couldn’t justify paying for a standalone music streaming service and decided to just take the plunge into UA-cam Music and honestly it’s not bad. I don’t know why people hate the UI, I think it’s fine or maybe I’ve gotten used to it IDK I could send UA-cam feedback I guess. I also like how YT music has Someone’s Little Sister & not even Apple Music, Spotify, etc have it-only iTunes had Someone’s Little Sister and I don’t wanna pay money individually. But that’s merely just one example of how awesome YT Music is, it feels like Soundcloud honestly-you obviously get all the mainstream stuff + unofficial music and indie artist. I can also listen to my favorite covers, parodies and/or remixes that aren’t on other streaming services. UA-cam Music is just really good, I think I found a new love & have no reason to ever pay for another standalone streaming service again or movie streaming service as UA-cam Premium has its own Originals so no more spending money on Netflix & Hulu either! YT Premium is literally the best bang for your buck, it’s not $9.99 but it’s definitely worth the money-reminds me a lot of Amazon Prime, we all get Prime for 2-day free shipping but forget everything else it offers & it’s great!
That's one of the reasons I'm heavily considering switching to UA-cam Premium for my family. For 16-17 bucks a month, all of us get no ads and access to UA-cam Music. It sounds like a lot, but considering how much UA-cam 4 out of 5 of us watch and how much music 3 out of 5 of us listen to, it's kinda fair compared to just 10 dollars for music a month
Interesting. I’m in a similar situation with Spotify, I realized I’m not using it almost at all, neither are my wife and daughter. Subscribing to UA-cam premium is appealing considering we all use it a lot.
I use NextCloud for my cloud storage. 25TB for the cost of the appropriate NAS hardware. Not as integrated as iCloud storage, but it does work on other platforms as well.
The reason you tube premium is the best is because the list of music is very wide, broader and most important i get to hear latest and oldies local music, even i can hear a very traditional folkore sound of music that i can’t find anywhere at apple music or spotify.
I want to know that too. I have it and I let my housemate have it but I would feel like I was getting my money's worth if I knew I could share with people not in my house too.
Just buy whatever pressings on CD of what you like and digitally import it, the rest go to your local library, rent it, make digital conversions of the song files and a 1:1 disc backup, then if you really like the album later on down the road and you want a copy just buy it. It’s INCREDIBLE to me that people would rather pay for streaming services when you can own whatever you like and save that money, own what you REALLY like
For me, it’s a UI thing. I like the way Apple Music looks compared to the other apps (I’ve tried Spotify, UA-cam Music, Amazon Music) and I like the way it handles downloaded songs when I use it when I’m on low signal or airplane mode. The app doesn’t change and you can access music like you always can. With the other apps, there is a specific place you have to go just for downloaded music. For some of them, like UA-cam and Amazon, you couldn’t access your playlists when offline or you couldn’t organize your downloaded music when offline. So for me, Apple Music is best
Family membership of UA-cam premium costs ~1.5 usd in my country, ~1 usd for the personal subscription. No matter how pretty Apple Music can be, it is 10 times more expensive and I don’t get ad free videos. Plus, I can use it from the web, so it’s totally compatible with Linux.
I don’t really get UA-cam premium, you can just skip ads, use safari with an ad blocker which also allows background playback and PiP, orrr even better setup a Pi hole. I’d never get UA-cam music, the UI is ugly and it’s missing out on amazing features like music on Apple Watch or smart playlists. Plus do you really trust google having mic’s in your house, I want a HomePod but they’re so expensive, they have amazing sound quality, I’d love being able to run Siri Shortcuts with one, it links in with your phone, I trust my data to be more private with them and even smart home devices run quicker and when your internet connection is offline using HomeKit.
I think it only depends of the user, if you listen to a lot of music daily and add new songs constantly (which is my case) apple music is worth it. Also the fact that we share the subscription between my whole family. A very important feature that apple music has is that its everywhere whenever we want it. But if you don't listen to music all that often the it's not that worth it. Unless you share it with family or friends that way you save a couple of bucks.
The only reason why I keep Apple Music subscription is because Spotify doesn’t have a student subscription plan enable in my country, so ironically Apple is cheaper for me and also I really hate Spotify ads so that’s why I don’t use it free :)
I was actually going to switch my Apple Music to student because I don’t use it so I might as well save but if I still don’t use it much I’m going to just cancel it out right. Then probably just purchased the songs are usually listen to. UA-cam premium for $16 a month is definitely not worth it I’m fine with the ads the only reason I would want it is to listen to things in the background also because UA-cam has songs that haven’t been released.
Idk but it’s the same as cable television. You don’t get to keep the tv shows or the commercials but you pay $250 a month to watch it bundled with internet and telephone. So it’s nearly the same thing. Having Apple Music and like the Hulu live TV/Disney/ESPN bundle, xbox game pass, xfinity 100mbps WiFi, T-Mobile essentials plan, and maybe like Amazon prime or something is waaaay cheaper but essentially the same products as cable/telephone/WiFi bundles from Verizon or Comcast. It’s just more customer friendly in terms of getting what you like. My breakdown for what I pay for a month is about $260 a month for: Xbox Gold Pass Ultimate - $15.99/mo Disney+, Hulu/Live no ads, ESPN+ - $77.99/mo HBOMax - $14.99/mo Netflix - $8.99/mo Amazon Prime - $59/year ($4.90/mo) Apple Music - $4.99/mo iCloud Storage 200gb - $2.99/mo Xfinity WiFi 100mbps - $39.99/mo T-Mobile Essentials Plan - $45/mo per line 2x My parents only do Verizon Fios cable/WiFi/telephone and pay the exact same amount not including $55 per line cellphones.
So I have had Spotify for about 11 years. When I used to commute a lot I used Siri a lot while driving and since Siri didnt work with Spotify I also purchased Apple music and used both services. In the end, Spotify won, once they opened Siri to Spotify I lost my only real use case for the extra cost of Apple Music. Spotify has both a better algorithm for suggesting music (to be fair they have 11 years of listening history to go off of) but I also love their For you section and Daily Drive playlist. Apple Music is great, but unless you want to listen to live radio I really think Spotify is a better choice... even though I am heavily in the Apple Ecosystem.
You just pushed me over the edge. I also have Apple Music and YT Premium (same reason). The main reason I was keeping Apple Music is because of the integration with the eco system, but that actually doesn’t justify me paying €10 on top of the €12 I pay for YT Premium anyway. And if Apple is going to allow further integration of third party music services on their devices (I also have a HomePod), it shouldn’t be such a difficult choice anymore... However, please do let us know how you feel about it in, say, three months or so. Curious to learn how your experience has been. Thanks!
I have UA-cam premium and was using UA-cam music. It was ok. I got a 3 month free trail of apple music and man, I feel inspired again! Growing up I loved Zane Lowe and it's so cool hearing him again in apple radio and I love their playlists that are getting me inspired and into new music again. And I'm a professional musician! Haha love these videos man, keep it up!
I agree with you, Apple Music is music centric with great playlists, radio on demand (exclusive radio) + tunein radio in it, and the interphase on Apple TV is brilliant, as well as ipad. It works great on Sonos and even Google Home. Also, it is super international minded and well integrated to all Apple products of course. I am open to different systems but trying to let go of Google Home (the opposite of this video) to be more housed in Apple & Sonos ecosystems. To each their own.
Warning: if you cancel your trial subscription all of your playlists will be deleted. Yes, even those with purchased music you created prior to signing up for the streaming service. You must make a copy of the playlists and the names prior to discontinuing streaming. Otherwise all your work is destroyed by Apple😮
The 2 Negative things that stuck out the most for me about Apple Music, was the never-ending monthly charge... and worse was not even realizing that songs that I downloaded from the service into my iTunes Library were not Permanent, so a little while after cancelling my subscription because of what it was costing me, I’d be scratching my head wondering why some songs disappeared! I actually spend Less in an entire year on Music anyway than what I would forking out each month over that sane period with an Apple Music subscription. However I do miss the extra Radio Stations that came along with sometimes.
If you're into classical music, (000000.1% of you), Apple Music rules. They've had almost 20 years, since the opening of the iTunes store to build up its library. I hear Spotify is pretty good but I've found many deep titles on Apple Music. Very happy with Apple Music!
I'm generally not a fan of subscription services, but I don't mind it with Music or Video-Streaming Services since I can basically watch a bunch of movies or listen to loads of songs that'd cost me much more than 10-15$ a month if I were to buy them online or in store
I've started using UA-cam music more and more while I still have apple music as there's more variety. Only issue is there's music on there that works on UA-cam but can't be played through UA-cam music and the android auto app is quite hard to source the saved playlists. I recently noticed on apple music where I used to save loads of new songs and albums, a lot of the songs and albums have been greyed out and no longer available. Which is probably why when I'm listening in my car on shuffle, I'm hearing loads of the same songs in my shuffle list despite having added hundreds if not thousands of songs on there. Also I previously had iTunes on my account and burned my cds onto there and despite paying for the albums on a cd, most are not available to listen to anymore. Gutted
The user experience on Android is far superior to that on iOS. Been using androids forever and am using the iPhone 7+(yes it’s old but surprisingly fast). Yesterday I did the same thing canceled Apple Music even though I am using a student discount. For me UA-cam premium is a much better deal
Subscriptions are only as good of a deal as you’re getting out of it. For me, music listening is my biggest hobby and I regularly check out new and old music- buying that legally I would go bankrupt!
That comment reads as if Apple Music was some underground on-demand Napster xD
Same here for me it is a wonderful service I love falling down the rabbit hole while discovering songs from around the world
Companies love you
Yeah I remember the argument when streaming started to really take off was that instead of paying 10-15 a month on music you don’t own, use that same money to buy 1 album a month.
Last year I was at around 40,000 minutes listened to on Spotify, and I used Apple Music for about 3 of those months.
This year I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with all the new releases, and wouldn’t be able to purchase any of the older albums I discovered.
Any time I discover a new artist I go and I can have access to their entire discography. I discovered countless albums I would have wanted to purchase but honestly wouldn’t have really had the chance to realize I like the album.
Now technically I could afford to keep up with all the albums but not if I wanted to spend the same amount of money. I still purchase albums/merch to support artists I like listening to. But when it comes to having access to the music steaming all the way.
Music is such a large part of my life and honestly spending 10 dollars a month until the day I die is worth it to me, and I’ll never lose that access to the music. Anyways I’m about to hop onto a family plan and save a bunch. But even if I wasn’t it’s worth it to me
IAmCjcj11 I agree, if you listen to tons of music this works for you. I do pay for UA-cam premium and listen to new music there just by making playlist. It also supports the creators I look at. So for 15 a month I get music and support creators.
TL;DR he’s not switching to Spotify or another service, he just doesn’t take advantage of the music streaming model enough anymore to justify the cost.
but... he's switching to youtube music....
gdrgsgdgdfsfgrgdfh he has Premium anyway, UA-cam Music is just in case.
this doesn’t need to be 11 minutes long
it has the content of a tweet
Spirit Of The Holidays he needs to earn money somehow, but ye, I hate it when they stretch it to 10 mins.
Apple: *Mission failed, we'll get him next time*
I switched from Spotify so no loss for them i guess
Apple Music is perfect for my life because I also have a shit ton of music on my iTunes.
Colby Crossley this is why I love it too.
Also Spotify censors it’s podcasts
Sucker!
Yeah it's the perfect one for me too
Yeah definitely very individual. If I had to buy music, I’d be dropping 20+ dollars every DAY. Apple Music is amazing for my situation
So you say that you listen to around 20 new songs that you have never heard before, every day?
Somehow I doubt that.
@@k.t.4062 Well if you put on a Apple Music Radio and just keep it flowing, it is possible. I have had days like that. Not every day, mind you, but when I need a library refresh and go exploring, I'd say even more
In that case UA-cam music or Spotify are better options. Same music, same cost for premium as AM, but if 2 years down the line you are not listening to a lot of music you can change to free version and still have access to your library.
Sammy M I prefer buying CDs over digitally downloading music.
@@k.t.4062 a Song costs more now that 1 dollar. So it’s more like 15 songs a day. I might suprise you. But yes you listen to new albums on a daily.
I guess it depends on how much someone uses it. I use it everyday, so for me it’s worth it.
Mike M do you use your library everyday or new music everyday
James Myers Library
Ummm, situation to situation; I like Apple Music and uses it daily. I also have my parents using it with the family plan.
My advice is this, DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, but check your other subscriptions if you have others and see which one you use the most or the less to save money.
I mean... I use Apple Music and Spotify... I go back and forth a lot. I love the algorithm of Spotify a lot, but I love the interface of Apple Music far better.

I feel the exact opposite. I’ve added around 30 songs this month alone. Either 30 dollars to buy it, or 10 for the membership. Everyone’s different I guess!
Is there a reason why you're not on Spotify, or is Apple Music just the first one you tried?

buy song. you can listen to em FOREVER
I was sitting on a 15,000 song physical library before going full streaming and it has been the doom of my attention span. Trying to micromanage libraries like that on any streaming service is hell so it just forces me to slowly stop caring.
apple music is just $5.99 in my country. I listen to music all day while working so i think i might keep it for a while. Also, the iCloud music library function is neat. in more than one occasion i wanted to listen to an album that was not available in apple music but i had it on my library.
Yea. Here I’m Guatemala I pay $10 for the family plan.
@@jomaix también soy de Guatemala! lol
I pay $10 a month for UA-cam Premium because I was a Google Play Music subscriber for years. I also got a free Google Home Mini because of it. I definitely prefer YT Music over Apple Music because there are UA-camrs who upload leaked songs and edited versions of songs. However I just subscribed to Apple Music for the added convenience of downloading songs to my Apple Watch and telling Siri to play a song without saying “on UA-cam Music”
It’s less than $3 in the Philippines 😅
In india its not even 2$ 😂😂 still i m using youtube musuc ... broke 😭😭
I’ll never understand people who don’t listen to music everyday😭😭
ikr?
Is not that we dont want to, is that people around me need my full attention everyday and I can't be listening to music all the time, my only free time is 2 hours a day for working out, and I do that 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes is not that we dislike music, is the busy life.
Same 😂
Probably because they have things to do
@@elmaster6207 best time to listen to music is when driving.
Interesting timing. I used Google Music, (now UA-cam Premium subscription) for years until the recent announcement to move to UA-cam Music. And boy, I felt disrespected. Within a month’s time, I moved to Apple Music (Family plan). Afterward, I realized I use multiple subscriptions for almost the same purpose. I canceled my Google One subscription recently after moving my documents. Through this experience, I researched my total about in subscriptions. I pay about $100 a month in subscription services. (Audible, UA-cam Premium, Apple Music, Apple Storage, Disney +, and Netflix). This is growing bothersome to me.
I hate subscriptions- I rather pay hundreds of dollars at once than paying monthly.
I would, too, but it doesn't make sense from a business perspective. With a music streaming service, you are getting tons of albums and songs which, altogether, are worth much more than a few hundred dollars. On top of that, the music on the service keeps expanding and growing as more people make more music. (please don't hate on me I was just explaining it for the people who didn't understand that this wasn't possible)
@@armaan1786 yes, I know what you mean. If we compare video editing tools, I`d rather pay $300 for final cut pro, than paying monthly for adobe premiere. (I´m not an apple user btw.)
Yay! somebody who gets it.
If the monthly price equates to the full price (if you were to pay up front) then what difference does it make?
@@DavidKen878 I know what you mean, but I want the peace of mind, and not to pay years after the purchase...
Just my opinion
I also had to leave Spotify as UA-cam Premium + UA-cam Music was a better deal
You can't beat that price! I'm in a family plan, and only pay $36 per year.
@@ianwest1624 There's 6 of us in the family plan, and it's split between all of us.

I would join UA-cam Music as well, but I have a lot of songs in my Spotify library, and UA-cam Music doesn’t have some of them. Otherwise, I would switch in a heartbeat.
I tried youtube premium (witch is so nice), but I left because they include YT music (witch I hate) and I didn't like to pay for 2 music streaming services.
If youtube did a cheaper plan without the music I def would pay
I love Apple Music! Never moving away.
Amazon music ftw

He just got addicted to UA-cam music simple dot. I personally used Spotify Premium, prime music, wync music, savan music, Gaana but I prefer Apple Music to be better than all the above paid service.
@@micahrogers7536 until you try it you realise what you’re paying for... it’s much more than just “paying for music”
This video feels like I’m talking to myself. This exact thing just happened to me. But i recently started missing my Apple Music library. UA-cam focused a lot on either playing the EXACT same songs over and over or introducing you to All new songs. The balance of familiarity from my old library which ..... I’ve gained a lot of memories with, simply isn’t there with UA-cam music. It always feels like the app is forcing new songs on me, and I constantly miss the songs I had in my Apple Library.
Hopefully, the UA-cam music App experience improves well enough to encourage us to create libraries, rather than constantly forcing us to discover new music
Looking fresh my dude
He really be flexing his wife on us. Fine even Apple sheep are pressuring me to get a girlfriend.

@@prestonferry Relax I am just making a joke.im not serious
Phivos Theodorakis I’m not mad, I liked your comment but I’m sharing my opinion... Also I was replying to another guy...
I tried to switch from Spotify to Apple Music, but I don’t like how Apple expects me to add every individual album or song into my library. I like that Spotify lets me just add an artist to my library and I can just access everything from there.
I have the exact opposite opinion when it comes to Spotify, I would like the album art and stuff in my recently added or library page. Apple music does that for me.
Vijay Jalihal I have had both and honestly I like apples UI more but Spotify’s algorithm is superior imo
Hefty Steelsak wait what ?
rotimi kayode With Spotify I can search for an artist, click “follow”, and the artist is my library. I can access their entire catalog from there. With Apple Music I search for an artist and I have to add the individual albums and songs I want for my library. It’s a hassle to me.
Kyle Parkinson I use both apps, Apple Music for my phone and Mac, Spotify on my windows PC. I never made use of the algorithm,I turned off the automatically playing feature because it kept suggesting things I don’t like for quite sometime. For me Apple Music is pretty neat and user friendly
I’m 36 and the older I get the less I find myself looking for music.
I joined the Apple ecosystem quite recently,but bc the Apple Music is so nicely integrated with everything and Siri,I kinda started listening more music daily.
That being said,is still not like a lot and is basically probably less than 10 songs or something around 1h worth of music. But being able to just yell to Siri what playlist to play etc,makes it easier.
I’m still in 6 month worth of free trail, I don’t know if I will start paying afterwords. I know I won’t pay for Apple TV + ,that I have 1 year of free trail and still don’t find time to watch,cuz I’m constantly on Netflix.
I’ve been using apple music since 2015, around when it came out. My music library dating back to itunes is all on their, all my playlists and yearly replays are on it. I can listen to all of them offline. For me it’s definitely well worth it, I listen to music every single day and it’s great for discovering new music as well.
The way you feel about the subscriptions being an endless cycle is exactly how I felt about the iPhone upgrade plan that’s why I just stopped upgrading after the Xs and kept it
Pandora and iHeart radio are now working standalone on the Apple Watch. It’s a matter of time for other major music streaming services to follow. It’s a possibility that UA-cam Music would also follow as well as they try to gain more stakes in the industry.
I have about 27,000 songs saved on my Apple Music so Forsure never deleting it. But idk we’re different people but I’m never gonna stop listening to music no matter how old I get.
Mindblown 🤯 your logic is legit. I got UA-cam premium, I spent less time on Apple Music. Why am I still paying? lol
I’m the opposite. I HATE YT Music’s UI. Still have it for the ad free YT but I cannot stand the music app.
The library bro, the library!
I spend more time on UA-cam than listening to music; AND UA-cam premium includes a music service.
@@cunty what's wrong the YT music UI?
I think your reasons are totally valid mate. I use UA-cam premium on all my iOS devices with all of my family. YT music getting better each week also..
You sold your HomePods? Without telling ME! Dang it! I would’ve instantly said yes!
I have 1,900 songs on my iPhone, so it is definitely worth it for me. It is fine to be aware of your monthly expenses though, and nobody should judge you for that. That is exactly why I got rid of my Hulu Live TV this month. It wasn't worth the extra $50 I was paying every month to watch only a few channels regularly when I could just pay for a year of standard Hulu at once for the same price.
I've been thinking about this since the day I signed up.The fact that you're not keeping the music your paying to listen to really gets to me every time.
Alright, what’s with the upside down boxes on the wall 😂
Wow... Didn't even notice that lol

I recently move too to UA-cam Premium, and for me really is been great, it has all music and you got video as well. The interface does not bother me so much cause I actually just listen to music, I have my screen off and the mix option has been perfect, it knows me better than myself!!!!! (excuse my English is not my native language)
Adjusted for inflation, it cost about twice as much to play a single song on a jukebox in the late 50s / early 60s than the typical music streaming service costs per day today.
I'm all for saving money and getting the best value for it, and multiple services quickly add up, but whether you buy your songs outright or go with a service, we've really come a long way.
Great video Drew. I’m a Spotify user, but I’ve recently been thinking of cancelling that service, burn all of my CDs onto iTunes and then sign up to iTunes Match. I would only then be paying £24.99 a year as opposed to £120.
he is starting to understand the sad reality.
He’s just not interested in spending money on a service he doesn’t use.
LMAO
To each their own! I definitely get a life-changing value from streaming services, having a “saved” library in excess of 100k songs and listening for hours a day- 30c a day is worth it for me! But it might not be for everyone, and there’s no need to pay if you’re not utilizing it :)
Dang been a sheep for this long I have an iPhone but don’t buy songs
Same
I use Pandora.
There was a time when buying songs from iTunes had little-to-nothing to do with being an Apple fan. Back then, it was just one of the fastest and most convenient ways to buy music.
Dang? You mean damn
I just convert the discs I have into music and download them via computer. A piece of cake! Saves money for me and some time. I even share my music with other friends as well to expand my playlists.
I’ve been saying this for years now where subscription don’t actually let you keep them. IMO I like buying my movies because on Netflix 1 week a good movie will be there and next week there’re gone.
Why don’t people listen to me?
Lol
I don’t get UA-cam premium. It’s just no ads and background playback. Neither interest me enough to pay for them.
No ads is huge deal to me as I watch UA-cam all day everyday, and I hate ads with a passion
@@TailosiveTech I wish I had no ads
here in Lebanon we have a financial crisis, the yt premium membership is worth 4.5x the money
sad 😭
Tailosive Tech, that’s understandable. Some people don’t like ads. I’m personally perfectly fine with it so if I do get it I’m not going to see much of a difference because I’m so used to it. Also I don’t many anyways as it is.
I mean, I’m 100% fine with ads. It’s still 1/5 of the ads on TV
Well + music streaming and the premium content...i actually think its a good deal, i wish they would sell no ads seperately though
UA-cam music is 100% the way to go if you’re a casual music listener and watch a lot of UA-cam videos
Only if you would like buy songs for 10$ a month... for me personally its not worth it because I dont buy that much songs normally.
UA-cam music had anything and everything that Spotify, Apple, and Amazon simply do not have especially older music
I prefer to just buy them either digital/physical and occasionally subscribe for a few months if I’m traveling or working remotely alot. Then cancel it for few months etc.
I still sync my phone with iTunes and have over 7 GB of music on my phone
I have a lot of stuff downloaded from Bandcamp and other sources
I use both Apple Music and UA-cam, I’d say neither is better than the other, just suited better for different folks, being someone who listens to a lot of House, EDM and Dance music, it’s difficult to find some of the songs by lesser known artists on Apple Music, whereas it’ll probably be on UA-cam albeit at a lower quality...
I think I’m now gonna start moving to UA-cam music since I already pay for that.
I actually did the exact same thing. While the UI on UA-cam Music is not at the level of AM or Spotify, it does what I need it to do when I need to listen to music. And having that added bonus of YT Premium is huge. And honestly the UI keeps improving as they eliminate Google Play Music.
I mean, the only justification you really need is “because I don’t want it anymore” or something. It’s your money lmao
Yeah but he wanted to go in-depth because it was interesting to understand why someone would want to leave one of the best music streaming services.
Dude I’m on the same page. Since I haven’t commuted to work in months I don’t even open the music app anymore. Thankfully I only pay the student amount but I also have UA-cam premium and got that early price too. And for the last 6 months holy cow do I love no ads, UA-cam Music and the general benefits, plus supporting creators this way is better than giving Apple that money at the end of the day.
Kudos to be an awakened soul! I agree that subscriptions when you can't even own after any amount of time is a criminal waste of money. I'm a structural engineer earning 150k per year and I STILL am budget conscious and don't believe in frivolously wasting money just because I can. I live my life on a budget every month. And subscription for a music service to me is like me charging a fee everytime someone uses a building that I design! How we allowed our entertainers to bilk us into becoming multi millionaires by allowing them to implement such scams is mind boggling to me. It is immoral and unjustified.
Yes… but explain this, sir, if you know…. So is it just our imagination or is it true ‘you do not own’ the selections of music you download from Apple iTunes Store? Is this why, if you are at a remote location, and you have no data connection, you can not listen to any of the music on your Apple device?? If this is true, why are we being ‘raped’ over by the false ‘gods’ of Apple? Or is there something we don’t get??
I have UA-cam Premium, Spotify Premium, and ViMusic for streaming music, and ViMusic is my favorite for the ability to discover new music.
I'm honestly OK with UA-cam Music... I love that it comes included with UA-cam Premium which I am so grateful of being able to watch videos WITHOUT ADS!! Even the political ones.. just amazing :)
Same I used Apple Music for the 3 month free trail and 1 month after because I forgot to cancel auto renewal.
I knew I wasn’t going to keep it at all because I don’t listen to too much music anyways and it’s way cheaper for me to buy the songs separately on iTunes instead for .69$ to 1.29$ individually instead and keep them forever as long as I use iTunes.
BTW I posted this before I listen to the video.
I pay 2.5$/month for individual student plan sooo for me is worth it(Romania)
I pay $0.00 to listen to my music.
Weirdly enough I’ve been debating cancelling Apple Music and signing up for YT Premium completely separately. Totally forgot about YT Music. Kinda works for me as a podcast listener 99% of the time.
I love Spotify, completely changed the music game for me.
I never used Apple Music. I just purchase all my songs on iTunes. I don’t like paying subscriptions. It’s worth mentioning that I bought the vast majority of songs I like well before Apple Music was released. And since it was released, I only purchased 30 songs.
UA-cam music has the rare live tracks and covers from my favourite artists. + UA-cam premium!!!
Yup. I've been on since day 1 google play music so I have all the benefits. It's just a shame that the YTMusic iOS app sucks.
Yeah, so it makes it an even greater shame that the app (not to even mention the desktop experience) is hot garbage with no organization whatsoever.
I have both n I notice that UA-cam music is good to watch music videos but it doesn’t have all the songs I want n like
Idk UA-cam music a lot of songs seem like they were uploaded in worse quality
I agree with all the sentiments. If I didn't get YT premium for free with it I would have probably left by now.
Over here in India apple music is 1.5$ a month and 15$ a year. 0.8$ per month if you're a student. Damn that's a big price difference
Impressive, so skilled at making a video over 10 minutes out of literally 2 sentences worth of substance😂

I have Apple Music for free through my carrier .
rotimi kayode who’s your carrier
A Winter Rose Verizon
@ModtechFrenzy Never heard of that. I've had
Apple Music free from Verizon since they offered it and have not been charged anything extra for it
I kinda had the same scenario except I’m coming from Spotify Premium instead of Apple Music and my UA-cam Premium & Spotify are charged on the same day of every month. When my student status ran up, it ran up on Spotify & UA-cam and I couldn’t justify paying the pricey amount UA-cam wants to charge (unfortunately I did not have UA-cam Red, so I was not grandfathered into the cheaper prices) and also paying Spotify so I made the hard choice of cancelling Spotify-I use UA-cam so much and once you go no ads you can’t go back & I couldn’t justify paying for a standalone music streaming service and decided to just take the plunge into UA-cam Music and honestly it’s not bad. I don’t know why people hate the UI, I think it’s fine or maybe I’ve gotten used to it IDK I could send UA-cam feedback I guess. I also like how YT music has Someone’s Little Sister & not even Apple Music, Spotify, etc have it-only iTunes had Someone’s Little Sister and I don’t wanna pay money individually. But that’s merely just one example of how awesome YT Music is, it feels like Soundcloud honestly-you obviously get all the mainstream stuff + unofficial music and indie artist. I can also listen to my favorite covers, parodies and/or remixes that aren’t on other streaming services. UA-cam Music is just really good, I think I found a new love & have no reason to ever pay for another standalone streaming service again or movie streaming service as UA-cam Premium has its own Originals so no more spending money on Netflix & Hulu either! YT Premium is literally the best bang for your buck, it’s not $9.99 but it’s definitely worth the money-reminds me a lot of Amazon Prime, we all get Prime for 2-day free shipping but forget everything else it offers & it’s great!
That's one of the reasons I'm heavily considering switching to UA-cam Premium for my family. For 16-17 bucks a month, all of us get no ads and access to UA-cam Music. It sounds like a lot, but considering how much UA-cam 4 out of 5 of us watch and how much music 3 out of 5 of us listen to, it's kinda fair compared to just 10 dollars for music a month
Yt music is the best it has literally everything including remixes etc
It's worked great for me over the past 6 weeks
@@TailosiveTech but it’s expensive
Interesting. I’m in a similar situation with Spotify, I realized I’m not using it almost at all, neither are my wife and daughter. Subscribing to UA-cam premium is appealing considering we all use it a lot.
How to avoid getting demonetized
I use NextCloud for my cloud storage. 25TB for the cost of the appropriate NAS hardware. Not as integrated as iCloud storage, but it does work on other platforms as well.
Damn and I just paid for one month after my 3 month free trial ended. Now I’m second thinking keeping it.
Lol just keep it
The reason you tube premium is the best is because the list of music is very wide, broader and most important i get to hear latest and oldies local music, even i can hear a very traditional folkore sound of music that i can’t find anywhere at apple music or spotify.
When you go to sign up for UA-cam Premium Family Plan, it says you have to be part of the same household? Is there any issues when doing this? 😬
I want to know that too. I have it and I let my housemate have it but I would feel like I was getting my money's worth if I knew I could share with people not in my house too.
Paul Brown exactly 👌🏻
No. I'm in a family plan, and the primary account holder is in Mississippi. I live in Texas.
Gilbert Galvan Good to know 👍🏻 Just hope there would be no bill further down the line 😂
I’m part of a family plan and we don’t live on same household.
Just buy whatever pressings on CD of what you like and digitally import it, the rest go to your local library, rent it, make digital conversions of the song files and a 1:1 disc backup, then if you really like the album later on down the road and you want a copy just buy it. It’s INCREDIBLE to me that people would rather pay for streaming services when you can own whatever you like and save that money, own what you REALLY like
Then there’s me paying for Apple Music family membership and Spotify individual plan🤣
Haha same, all because my Garmin has the Spotify app I could import from my main Spotify playlist.
For me, it’s a UI thing. I like the way Apple Music looks compared to the other apps (I’ve tried Spotify, UA-cam Music, Amazon Music) and I like the way it handles downloaded songs when I use it when I’m on low signal or airplane mode. The app doesn’t change and you can access music like you always can. With the other apps, there is a specific place you have to go just for downloaded music. For some of them, like UA-cam and Amazon, you couldn’t access your playlists when offline or you couldn’t organize your downloaded music when offline. So for me, Apple Music is best

Family membership of UA-cam premium costs ~1.5 usd in my country, ~1 usd for the personal subscription. No matter how pretty Apple Music can be, it is 10 times more expensive and I don’t get ad free videos. Plus, I can use it from the web, so it’s totally compatible with Linux.
He’s literally be flipping all the iPhone box’s upside down, slowly over the cores of his videos
I don’t really get UA-cam premium, you can just skip ads, use safari with an ad blocker which also allows background playback and PiP, orrr even better setup a Pi hole. I’d never get UA-cam music, the UI is ugly and it’s missing out on amazing features like music on Apple Watch or smart playlists. Plus do you really trust google having mic’s in your house, I want a HomePod but they’re so expensive, they have amazing sound quality, I’d love being able to run Siri Shortcuts with one, it links in with your phone, I trust my data to be more private with them and even smart home devices run quicker and when your internet connection is offline using HomeKit.
This is why I purchase my music and movies. I like to own my media.
“Own”
I think it only depends of the user, if you listen to a lot of music daily and add new songs constantly (which is my case) apple music is worth it. Also the fact that we share the subscription between my whole family. A very important feature that apple music has is that its everywhere whenever we want it. But if you don't listen to music all that often the it's not that worth it. Unless you share it with family or friends that way you save a couple of bucks.
The upside down iPhone boxes is driving me crazy! Haha 😂
The only reason why I keep Apple Music subscription is because Spotify doesn’t have a student subscription plan enable in my country, so ironically Apple is cheaper for me and also I really hate Spotify ads so that’s why I don’t use it free :)
you're no longer a sheep !!!!!!!
Let’s not get carried away here
I was actually going to switch my Apple Music to student because I don’t use it so I might as well save but if I still don’t use it much I’m going to just cancel it out right. Then probably just purchased the songs are usually listen to. UA-cam premium for $16 a month is definitely not worth it I’m fine with the ads the only reason I would want it is to listen to things in the background also because UA-cam has songs that haven’t been released.
It's UA-cam Music for me!
Idk but it’s the same as cable television. You don’t get to keep the tv shows or the commercials but you pay $250 a month to watch it bundled with internet and telephone. So it’s nearly the same thing. Having Apple Music and like the Hulu live TV/Disney/ESPN bundle, xbox game pass, xfinity 100mbps WiFi, T-Mobile essentials plan, and maybe like Amazon prime or something is waaaay cheaper but essentially the same products as cable/telephone/WiFi bundles from Verizon or Comcast. It’s just more customer friendly in terms of getting what you like.
My breakdown for what I pay for a month is about $260 a month for:
Xbox Gold Pass Ultimate - $15.99/mo
Disney+, Hulu/Live no ads, ESPN+ - $77.99/mo
HBOMax - $14.99/mo
Netflix - $8.99/mo
Amazon Prime - $59/year ($4.90/mo)
Apple Music - $4.99/mo
iCloud Storage 200gb - $2.99/mo
Xfinity WiFi 100mbps - $39.99/mo
T-Mobile Essentials Plan - $45/mo per line 2x
My parents only do Verizon Fios cable/WiFi/telephone and pay the exact same amount not including $55 per line cellphones.

What is Spotify free?
@@icarus9980 ad-supported
Yeah. I'm a fan of Deezer. In RSA it is by far the most affordable and delivers great audio quality for cheap family package.
I cannot live without Apple Music, is the most valuable subscription I have. And would be the last one to cancel if I had to cancel them all.
So I have had Spotify for about 11 years. When I used to commute a lot I used Siri a lot while driving and since Siri didnt work with Spotify I also purchased Apple music and used both services. In the end, Spotify won, once they opened Siri to Spotify I lost my only real use case for the extra cost of Apple Music. Spotify has both a better algorithm for suggesting music (to be fair they have 11 years of listening history to go off of) but I also love their For you section and Daily Drive playlist.
Apple Music is great, but unless you want to listen to live radio I really think Spotify is a better choice... even though I am heavily in the Apple Ecosystem.
I love it. Only 4.99 for me bc im in college
You just pushed me over the edge. I also have Apple Music and YT Premium (same reason). The main reason I was keeping Apple Music is because of the integration with the eco system, but that actually doesn’t justify me paying €10 on top of the €12 I pay for YT Premium anyway. And if Apple is going to allow further integration of third party music services on their devices (I also have a HomePod), it shouldn’t be such a difficult choice anymore... However, please do let us know how you feel about it in, say, three months or so. Curious to learn how your experience has been. Thanks!
I’m one of the people that will keep Apple Music till I die.
me too
Then you probably aren’t too bright
Chillednfunked that’s mean of you to say.
I have UA-cam premium and was using UA-cam music. It was ok. I got a 3 month free trail of apple music and man, I feel inspired again! Growing up I loved Zane Lowe and it's so cool hearing him again in apple radio and I love their playlists that are getting me inspired and into new music again. And I'm a professional musician! Haha love these videos man, keep it up!
I agree with you, Apple Music is music centric with great playlists, radio on demand (exclusive radio) + tunein radio in it, and the interphase on Apple TV is brilliant, as well as ipad. It works great on Sonos and even Google Home. Also, it is super international minded and well integrated to all Apple products of course. I am open to different systems but trying to let go of Google Home (the opposite of this video) to be more housed in Apple & Sonos ecosystems. To each their own.
Warning: if you cancel your trial subscription all of your playlists will be deleted. Yes, even those with purchased music you created prior to signing up for the streaming service. You must make a copy of the playlists and the names prior to discontinuing streaming. Otherwise all your work is destroyed by Apple😮
Apple Music is quite cool
Yeah.
But it’s annoying.
When you cancel your subscription all of your music will be removed. :/
@@ml3677 this is why you use it ton discover new music and get the ones you like on a cd or vinyl

Yup!
I usually download all the music I like on my MacBook and then sync them to my iPhone.
The 2 Negative things that stuck out the most for me about Apple Music, was the never-ending monthly charge... and worse was not even realizing that songs that I downloaded from the service into my iTunes Library were not Permanent, so a little while after cancelling my subscription because of what it was costing me, I’d be scratching my head wondering why some songs disappeared! I actually spend Less in an entire year on Music anyway than what I would forking out each month over that sane period with an Apple Music subscription. However I do miss the extra Radio Stations that came along with sometimes.
U CRAZY boy, i would die going a day without apple music!
I appreciate you perspective. As a family man, Apple One’s family plan fits my life. I like the idea of UA-cam premium but...idk 😐
I honestly love Apple Music it's great lol
I wanted to like it but I really fell in love with the wa Spotify works in comparison, especially for my audiophile and IEM gear
If you're into classical music, (000000.1% of you), Apple Music rules. They've had almost 20 years, since the opening of the iTunes store to build up its library. I hear Spotify is pretty good but I've found many deep titles on Apple Music. Very happy with Apple Music!
I'm generally not a fan of subscription services, but I don't mind it with Music or Video-Streaming Services since I can basically watch a bunch of movies or listen to loads of songs that'd cost me much more than 10-15$ a month if I were to buy them online or in store
I've started using UA-cam music more and more while I still have apple music as there's more variety. Only issue is there's music on there that works on UA-cam but can't be played through UA-cam music and the android auto app is quite hard to source the saved playlists. I recently noticed on apple music where I used to save loads of new songs and albums, a lot of the songs and albums have been greyed out and no longer available. Which is probably why when I'm listening in my car on shuffle, I'm hearing loads of the same songs in my shuffle list despite having added hundreds if not thousands of songs on there. Also I previously had iTunes on my account and burned my cds onto there and despite paying for the albums on a cd, most are not available to listen to anymore. Gutted
The user experience on Android is far superior to that on iOS. Been using androids forever and am using the iPhone 7+(yes it’s old but surprisingly fast).
Yesterday I did the same thing canceled Apple Music even though I am using a student discount. For me UA-cam premium is a much better deal
