Is the quality improvement on Apple Music enough to make you consider switching? If you did switch, what would you miss about Spotify? [Update Nov 2024: Consider using Tune My Music: geni.us/TuneMyMusic to transfer your playlists. I just had to do this for the second time after I unsubscribed and re-subscribed to Apple Music, only to discover Apple wiped all my playlists! 😢
No. That is because Apple's audio quality is no better than any other app I've used. I don't use Spotify on "Low" quality either. Whether streaming or listening offline I use "High" or more often "Very High" quality options (even on mobile data). I'm not saying Spotify provides the best quality audio and I do at least agree with you that Spotify seems to be quieter, but louder doesn't mean higher quality. The quality sounds the same and turning down other apps to reach Spotify's lows allows you to meaningfully hear that there's nothing between them. Alternatively, and this is frowned upon by tge companies, you can rip the streams to compare the files as downloaded and played which I've done and noticed... there's nothing between them aside from placebo.
@VariantAEC so the sound differend is just different not not per se better interesting. I think i can exsplane its the Honeymoon phase. But wen you are over that do it again for comparison. Like louder is not better Hearing more details is better and stuf he is silly he did not talk about that in the video lol Like you got a new phone how much better is it your last phone if it's only A year old you think it's better in the beginning and then you compare and there's not a lot differents Yes it's better but how much

The ONLY thing that keeps me on Spotify that no one else has is the connect feature. Just to seamlessly connect to different devices even if you aren't on the same network!!
I can't even justify it anymore... noticed that the handoff between my tv and phone have become worse (song starting over) as well as the fact that I can't control playback using my tv remote while it's playing on my phone without it switching audio to the tv
The connect feature using your tv is getting worse. the handoff is 50% wrong, basically starting my tracks over and switching auido to tv when I'm trying to pause when my phone is the audio source
@gideonkok2071 that happens to me when I'm not on the same network or I'm on a VPN. Turn the VPN off restart PC and it switches music seamlessly with no cuts. I'm guessing not being on the same IP address causes input lag in Spotifys server. Who nnows, seems interests.
Yeahh.. The only reason why i use spotify is because of its connect feature like without Bluetooth i can judt connect my alexa to spotify and play my playlist so easy..
why does this seem like an ad? I feel like this video told me apple music is great if you have an itunes library, and/or want to listen to lossless audio at no upfront cost, other than a subscription which may or may not be through your provider. It would seem to me that this implies that Apple music is missing value that they rely on me to provide.
I'm an android guy myself and will never use apple. I don't pay for those services like spotify because they are predatory monopolies and I believe they at least have to be free (google monopoly), so that people with no money can use the services as well.
@@99Gara99 i strongly disagree with you even though i'm against having to pay to listen to music uninterrupted (i even used to use a modded version of Spotify that simulated the premium sub but without some features). it makes sense that you have to pay for it because music isn't free to make or to "own" (copy); and it isn't a "predatory monopoly" as you say because even if you want to own a physical/digital copy, you'll have to pay for it still and it isn't a monopoly because there are many other streaming services, but Spotify just happens to be the best out there overall, at least for me.
i always try to use apple music, but the spotify connect is a killer feature for me, the power for control your music from every device (ps5, pc, alexa, mac, windows pc and iphone) its a thing that right now apple music cant beat.
YT Premium for Music is also great! I really need to take a better look at it, other than hopping in for certain songs. There’s too many platforms to look at!! 😬
UA-cam Music is by far the best streaming service. Not only does it have the same music library as all the others, it also has all the music anyone has uploaded to UA-cam such as unofficial remixes, live concerts and versions, bootlegs and more. Its overall music library is magnitudes larger than the other services, and with UA-cam Premium included, it really is a no-brainer.
@@PeteMatheson youtube music has more music than any other platform and by a loonnggg shot. Also seen a guy say the sound quality was better on youtube music than spotify
Yeah I'm still in awe that Apple Music doesn't have the same or better algorithm than spotify, considering their net worth. That's the only thing that's making me not shift to Apple Music. Also Spotify is just better in Windows, which is most of the time I listen there. Apple Music is just terrible in Windows and the UI is from 10 years ago. I have 80mbps and I also use ethernet cable. When I stream music while gaming, Apple Music somehow eats all the internet data.
i think that they announced it with the ios 18 which is centered around ai (it will enable you to make playlists for different activities/moods and track your tastes like Spotify)
Spotify has terrible compression. Tidal, Qobuz and Apple Music sound so much better. What I miss on Spotify is the social aspect of it and the seamless switching from one device to another. I would be really happy when this finally arrives to other music services. But right now because of how much it bothers me, I can’t be on Spotify because of how it sounds like the songs are blown and lose a lot of sounds.
@bab027 Spotify has a setting on called "Normalize Audio" intended to keep all the songs playing at the same volume. What that setting does is look for the loudest sound that will be played and make every sound exactly that loud. It affects the balance of the mix and can make it sound a bit off. That is most likely the difference you are hearing.
@@thejman3489 err, no i just really prefer listening to lossless. The difference between mp3 and lossless is huge for me because of the devices i use to listen to music and I really look for that separation and being able to listen to the different instruments used in the track.
I use a combination of UA-cam Music and Spotify. I like how Spotify can just run on anything, even super old tablets. It's nice to just keep an old tablet around just for Spotify.
As a music nerd, I tried all the streaming services ( Tidal, Spotify, Apple music ... ). Spotify wins in terms of user friendliness, as well as due to the eco system around it. You can literally install it on anything and control everything from your phone. Tidal and Apple music win when it comes to sound quality. Even 320kbs from Tidal and Apple music is better than 320kbs from Spotify. They are clearer and louder. I ended up staying with Apple music because I'm an iPhone user and it works really great. Spotify is TikTok for me, while using Apple music I feel like it's something really mine, if you understand me.
Is the 'Normalize volume' turned on in Spotify while you tested?? If it's turned on, the volume and clarity will be low. If turned off, the sound will be much better.
На Андроиде нет lossless , так как нет поддержки USB DAC , так что это плацебо . Изучайте матчасть . Даже если ты подключишь ЦАП lossless не получить , Apple Music хорош на IOS
@@SoundCore. Just older android restricted these things but if you use players like usb audio player it'll simulate that it's casting music on different device to stream the file direct to it to convert it to music
Either sound check is on or off in Apple Music Or Audio Normalisation is on or off in Spotify Test them both in same settings. Nobody can hear a difference between mp3 320kbps vs lossless Dont believe me? Do a blind test Abx/digitalfeed/net Replace / with dot
I stopped using Spotify caused the sound quality is really compressed, I listened to the same song in UA-cam music and I was surprised how different it was.
I mean UA-cam has a factually worse sound quality. The main thing UA-cam has is amazing recommendations. Apple Music has great quality but lacking in the algorithm. For me Spotify is like an in between with an added benefit of amazing playlists.
What? 😂 It was reverse in my case. UA-cam compresses EVERYTHING, where Spotify has up to 320kbps. I find Spotify has a clearer sound than YT after compared to the same song in both and shock of the difference, same as you, but reverse.
I've tried Apple music because I've gotten free subscriptions. The sound quality is noticeably better on Apple music. But what annoys me is they deleted my playlist after my subscription ended. Which is kind of just makes me not want to go back. What's nice about Spotify is I can control what's playing from my Pixel, my PC or my iPad. Is Apple music able to do that?
Oh wow! No it doesn’t work the same with control unfortunately. Though you can play to airplay devices etc Spotify is still much better for that. And that playlist thing is pretty bad! 😞
No perdiste tu lista de reproducción, solo que no te saldrá ya que no has pagado de nuevo al suscripción, cuando te vuelvas a suscribir volverá tu playlist, tranquilo
@@_moisesruiz Actually, it won't. My subscription ended two months ago and I could only resubscribe again 1 week ago. My library was gone, but the artists I checked as favorites were still there
This is exactly what I meant when I told my friends Apple Music has better sound quality. I was an android user, and I randomly downloaded Apple Music just to check out the quality, and it blew my mind. Especially I was playing my metal and rock songs, and the difference is night and day. I stopped using spotify since then. I love Spotify recommendations and it’s wrapped, but the diluted quality turn me off after I’ve been exposed to Apple Music.

I started using apple on a Samsung phone. I have tried Spotify premium. Apple music is WAY better. I am an avid listener. I have tried and listened to literally every available service. None compare to apple music for me. Always have new music to listen to. I still have all the apps on my devices. But Apple Music is my most used.
I personally stopped using it because when I skipped songs too much it would stop playing by itself so I would have to manually click on a song or switch it each time unless I am cleared out all the settings which requires me to turn up sound quality again
I have an iPhone and macOs, but Apple Music usability is so bad for me. If I click on an artist name, it takes me to my library, and not the artist page. I can't drag-n-drop an album to create a playlist inside a folder - and it doesn't let me add an album to a folder, so...
3:30. it's really true. I personally find that Apple Music runs better on Android than iOs. Crossfade, for example, was available on Android first, while it wasn't available on iOs 15.
I regularly use both. I mainly kept Spotify around for the recommendations, but I prefer Apple Music in pretty much every other way. However, even Spotify's recommendations seem to have become worse over the years. Also, Apple Music Replay has gotten better. I have been using Apple Music a lot more recently and I went back to Spotify for a day, I am no audiophile and listen through some mid-level speakers and AirPods, but I just find the sound of Apple Music to be much more pleasing, even without lossless.
Sir you're correct. I am a free Spotify user where I can't even fast forward anymore but I have found the audio coming out of the app is not clearer anymore. I thought because my phone is 5 yrs old it was having this issue but I have asked my friends who have Spotify premium and now you've mentioned it I'm sure that other apps provide better music quality but I kept the app because I have personalised all my playlists there according to my mood and I use the discover section to find new artists and music and listen it to a different app 😅
For me, it’s the access to lyrics that make me gravitate to Apple Music more often than Spotify (I pay for both services). There are simply way more songs that have lyrics available on AM - it’s not even close.
Every S series samsung phone supports LDAC & High Res Lossless audio not to mention Dolby Atmos built in. I do not know where that info came from but its just wrong, ive been listening to Flac files using Poweramp on android for literal years
I love apple music. It contains all my music that I've downloaded in the past several years and now that I have an Samsung phone, I'm glad I can use it on that platform.
I’m on Apple Music after like 10 years of being on Spotify. I seriously miss the playlist personalization of Spotify, how easy it was to find curated playlists with new music, and the social aspect of it. Also the overall layout of the homepage and playlists section. What’s keeping me on AM is the quality of music, how amazing the shuffle is compared to whatever tf Spotify has, and how clean everything is comparatively in its design.
I just like the overall feel of spotify and how many songs I've found that I wouldn't have if it wasn't for their own Playlist compiled from my likes. I'm super obsessed with audio quality and play spotify on my sonos speakers, that sounds amazing already. So for me it's always spotify as I can't go without the spotify connect now and it's so convenient.
I love Spotify, but about a year ago when they started pushing spoken-word content on the main app page, I realized I like my podcast/audiobook app(s) and music apps to be different. So I went back to Apple Music. Oh, and the other reason was Spotify never brought out their lossless tier. That said, Spotify is still the best for AI recommendations. In that regard, Apple isn't terrible, but not the best.
Spotify is the better option for the largest audience. Quality honestly doesn't matter much. I even know people who switched from apple Music to spotify for the features, and they don't care about the quality drop. There is ONE feature, tho that I would like to see on spotify, and I think they might implement it soon. The karaoke mode/turning off the voice.
I use UA-cam music and have tidal for free with my phone contract. I use a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. They both sound amazing in terms of audio quality. I wonder how they compare to Apple music!
@@mrdextrous355 I tried apple music on my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and it sounded exactly the same as my UA-cam music and my tidal. I don't know if the ios version is different.
@@LenaRose1204 it is because it’s optimised through iOS. Other than iOS no other os can get Dolby atmos or losless audio straight through their phone manufacturer or earbuds unless you actually specifically buy headphones that are optimised just for that. Spotify are not currently giving the user the ‘studio’ effect like Apple Music plus on other music streaming sites from what I’ve seen charge you extra for ‘hifi’ quality but Apple give you that level of sound as standard so that’s the difference between em
I’m an I phone user but use Spotify, Apple doesn’t have an custom EQ, I also use highest bits on Spotify and again love EQ to adjust bass, mids, Treble
It was a UA-cam channel about wifi where they compared different streaming services and also made sure that they all sounded the same loud, he said it can be perceived that it sounds better just because it sounds louder
I installed Apple Music on my Sony phone and it is now even offering me localized pricing, which it didn’t on my Mac. Same price as Spotify, so worth the trial. Thanks, man!
You also have lossless for apple music in Iphone, but you do it via the settings menu in the Iphone, briefly settings, then you scroll down to Apple Music There you have the settings. And in those settings, you can also choose hires or spatial sound
I was on a android few days ago but now im on a iphone and i discover the last spotify update… can’t even select a music in a playlist now… what is that ??

I am agree about the quality of the sound. I'm a long-time user of spotify and recently discover that even with youtube music, the sound from spotify app is bad. Spotify really needs to fix this
The thing is, you are best using a wired connection for lossless. Hooked up to hi-res headphones. Maybe connect the AudioQuest Dragonfly DAC to your phone to get the best hi-res audio.
Tried YT Music a while ago, the audio is processed in such a way that despite being lower quality than Spotify, i just preferred the way it sounded. I switched back to Spotify mainly because of Connect though. Just can't beat that
I was a Spotify user but I deleted my account from there coz of the fact that as a free user, I can listen only songs on random mode but I cannot skip more than 6 songs in a day. But the moment when I switched to Apple Music, the experience was amazing as it contains Dolby Audio and Lossless Audio❤
I use apple music for a few reasons. 1. I love the look of apple music, it gives off this quality feel where spotify just feels cluttered or something. 2. It works so much better on iphone, not because apple is locking down spotify, but because they are able to build so much more into there own app. I am also not one to listen to music recommendation systems very much so I honestly couldnt care less about spotify being technically better when neither is bad.
Spotify Hifi has been talked about for a long time and I waited and waited, when apple announced lossless music for no extra cost I cancelled Spotify and Tidal and switched… Classical music is clearer and the bluetooth issue is a thing true, but what the bluetooth codecs can do with a lossless file is still better than what they do with compressed files so I’m fine with that.
Is just me but I just can’t use Spotify because it makes no sense I’ll look a up or click a song and it plays a random song and I have to jump through 1000 different hoops to finally get it
Been a Apple music boy for a long time for the lossless audio as I could hear the difference between that and Spotify massively! But recently decided try out YT music and been pleasantly surprised! Did a thorough test between AM and YTM quality through my high fidelity headphones and there wasn't that much difference imo. The YTM UI was also a surprise and loving it over AMs UI. But will always lean towards AM cause it's free with my phone contract 😂
Personally I've thoroughly tested both and couldn't tell the difference that much, but at the same time it wouldn't surprise me cause UA-cam does add a lot of compression when artists upload their songs and vids. But through my headphones it's negligible to me. Apple will always be top right now over them two anyway
@@gerrmanceyo tengo los 3 servicios de pago, AM, YTM Y SPOTIFY y déjame decirte que UA-cam Music se come a Spotify, y hasta a mí me sorprendió, se lo come en calidad y recomendaciones, Apple music me encanta por su interfaz y la calidad de sonido pero su sistema de recomendaciones no es tan bueno
@@gerrmance Objectively the bitrate is lower but subjectively i find youtube music more pleasing to listen too, tracks seem more dynamic and detailed vocals also are less harsh. This is on audiophile headphones too
A Tesla guy on UA-cam claims. that the sound from Tidal is more dynamic than from Spotify. on the other hand, he said that he used to listen offline, that there could be problems online, it probably has to do with things like mobile coverage and the speed when hifi on Tidal apparently according to the screen corresponds exactly to that of an original CD 1411 kpps
Spotify also work offline with a variety of Garmin watches and to me it feels a bit more light weight to use, however I have also made a small trip to Apple Music. (I am on Android). The Dolby Atmos songs sound significantly better, I could test them back to back with my Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 buds. (you can swipe and change the 2 players on an Android phone)
I have been using apple music for a while now and honestly, one of the absolute best music service that i have ever used. The sound is crisp and the difference is so audible that its hard to express. The audio seems alive. I use buds 2 pro with my s23u and weirdly enough, i use apple music. I still pay dor spotify but what can i say
I just can't deal with Spotify not supporting Amoled displays. This is like one of the easiest thing to do with no negative repercussions whatsoever and yet they haven't done it, but cracked version of Spotify have
What about content. My biggest fear of dropping spotify is that i will have songs that is not available. I find spotify to have tons of tracks. Both hits and classics but also stuff like funny meme songs from youtube for that matter
None of them. Just rip your music to a FLAC, use your secondary phone (if it has Hi-Res Support and MicroSD expansion, better) AND play it through VLC. Trust me. You'll save yourselves the headache of wasting money on abusive subscription fees.
The reason i switched from spotify to Apple Music, 2 reasons 1. Sound quality 2. Changing location mostly in china Spotify gave me 2 location with a time limit and i got mad for that. Apple Music works no matter the country no need of VPn
World's most popular does in no way equate to world's best, I'd argue in terms of quality Spotify is easily the worst, Tidal is the best service out there, they have the best quality and with the recent price drop are also competitive now, Apple music have great quality but the garbage Bluetooth codecs on iPhones means there literally no point using it
I switched this year back and forth and as a kind of Rookie Apple User I still think both have their Advantages and Disadvantages. I'm still not entirely sure but I think it will go to Apple Music for me because I'm just so familiar with the Design Language of Apple. Also as a starting Producer I just hear the difference so clearly and Spotify doesn't even come close. Third Reason is that I'm considering Apple One to bundle up multiple Services.
Spotify made literally the most important details of a music app ONLY premium. Where lyrics, shuffle, loop, let alone stopping the shuffle, a bunch of vocaloid songs are altered making it really bad quality (example "ECHO") and some songs aren't available in certain countries are all premium. You can only listen to music, but songs that aren't even in your playlist are there too. The whole app is in a paywall, nothing else.
ill never switch from googles youtube premium. i get all the songs in the world add-free, i get the music videos and lyrics, i get all the versions possible of every song possible, and in the decade were in, where we all watch youtube on a daily basis.. i really do have better things to do than watch 4 40 seconds long unskippable adds per video. no no no. 13.99 for an addfree life is well worth it to me.
David Lee Roth was harshly criticized by Wolfgang Van Halen for keeping the A Different Kind Of Truth album off Spotify . This must be why . And some artists think they're getting ripped off from Spotify ( allegedly )
What makes me not like Apple Music is that you have to monthly pay to listen to songs completely without just listening to the previews, and that many small or even big artists don’t release some of their songs on Apple Music and if not on Spotify too, then there’s episodes of them on Spotify, if not official. And I just feel like Spotify is better in MY opinion. But y’all can list down your opinions and differences of apple and spoti, BUT PLS DONT START A ARGUMENT.
I have been off it for 5 months after being a member for 10 yeara. I don't miss but I don't care about artists/bands lives or songs anymore with so many of my own problems to worry about
When using an iPhone, Spotify allows you to use their true EQ, whereas Apple Music doesn't have an EQ, just presets......which is bad. So I use Spotify, have Apple too, but solely Spotify for preferred sound.
I have always preferred Apple Music. Sounds better plus I liked how I can add one or two songs from an album vs the album. I don’t like making playlists like that for two songs. Lossless for free on Apple Music is icing on the cake
I used to have Spotify but switched to Apple Music as only Apple Music has better sound quality than Spotify. Plus I have an addictive habit of following my favorite artists on Spotify which is a headache to me. That is another reason I switched to Apple Music is cause u don’t follow your favorite artists on Apple Music like Spotify 😊
been using both since 2016 (apple music), & 2018 (Spotify), And I can say Apple Music has been better for years, Of the two AM was the only one that I can see has improved drastically through the years. also the one really cool thing I love is that AM has a dedicated downloaded songs section, which Spotify still doesn't have. The only downside is the connect feature which is actually understandable as Apple is a tech company with other product so they have to keep some features for themselves. I just wish they had a tv app though.
My Spotify annual sub is about to expire and since I already pay for YT premium I don't think I'll be renewing with Spotify, and I'm a programmer so I'm building a service to switch all my playlists over to UA-cam as best as possible, remind me in a week or so when I hope I have finished it if you'd like to use it :)
No Spotify Connect - No Thank you. The simple fact I can choose which Alexa speaker group I want to play on directly from the Spotify app is what keeps me on Spotify
Great upload, I've just switched to Apple Music from Spotify on my S23 Ultra and the difference for me is the sound quality , it's a class above. I'm no spring chicken either I'm 53 and a life long audiophile.
Just the opposite for me mate. I went from Spotify to Apple music and stayed for a long time until I tried Spotify again just recently. 2 months now. I found the curation so much better on Spotify and so lacking on Apple music. Not to mention, on my iphone, Spotify is that much more powerful and punchy than is Apple music. But I'm in the states so that may have something to do with it. Anyway, thanks for the video.
I accidently ripped my cd for 320 bitrate. but I really didn't hear any difference compared to normal 128 or 192 bitrate mp3. but file size difference was huge. so I prefer normal bitrate mp3.
Is the quality improvement on Apple Music enough to make you consider switching? If you did switch, what would you miss about Spotify?

If we had Apple Music’s quality and Spotify’s algorithm, there would be a perfect music streaming service
Yeah I'm still in awe that Apple Music doesn't have the same or better algorithm than spotify, considering their net worth. That's the only thing that's making me not shift to Apple Music.
Also Spotify is just better in Windows, which is most of the time I listen there. Apple Music is just terrible in Windows and the UI is from 10 years ago. I have 80mbps and I also use ethernet cable. When I stream music while gaming, Apple Music somehow eats all the internet data.
i think that they announced it with the ios 18 which is centered around ai (it will enable you to make playlists for different activities/moods and track your tastes like Spotify)
I'm pretty happy with Tidal
sounds like tidal
tidal!
I consume a lot of UA-cam and music so UA-cam premium which includes UA-cam music premium is perfect option for me.
Same!
Me too. I don’t want to pay for spotify or Apple Music since i have UA-cam premium. UA-cam music just doesn’t have the integration yet.
youtube music is just 256 kbps IIRC, it's noticeably worse
@@Wolterhon compared to Spotify they sound the same
My dream is to merge both YT Music into UA-cam mobile app. Why separate apps with the same platform! 😍
Spotify has terrible compression. Tidal, Qobuz and Apple Music sound so much better. What I miss on Spotify is the social aspect of it and the seamless switching from one device to another. I would be really happy when this finally arrives to other music services. But right now because of how much it bothers me, I can’t be on Spotify because of how it sounds like the songs are blown and lose a lot of sounds.
@@bab027 Turn off audio normalization in Spotify settings. Boom now the quality is the same.
@bab027 Spotify has a setting on called "Normalize Audio" intended to keep all the songs playing at the same volume. What that setting does is look for the loudest sound that will be played and make every sound exactly that loud. It affects the balance of the mix and can make it sound a bit off. That is most likely the difference you are hearing.
@@thejman3489 err, no i just really prefer listening to lossless. The difference between mp3 and lossless is huge for me because of the devices i use to listen to music and I really look for that separation and being able to listen to the different instruments used in the track.

@@Simithy Bro, this is my music app history
As a music nerd, I tried all the streaming services ( Tidal, Spotify, Apple music ... ). Spotify wins in terms of user friendliness, as well as due to the eco system around it. You can literally install it on anything and control everything from your phone. Tidal and Apple music win when it comes to sound quality. Even 320kbs from Tidal and Apple music is better than 320kbs from Spotify. They are clearer and louder. I ended up staying with Apple music because I'm an iPhone user and it works really great. Spotify is TikTok for me, while using Apple music I feel like it's something really mine, if you understand me.
Is the 'Normalize volume' turned on in Spotify while you tested??
If it's turned on, the volume and clarity will be low. If turned off, the sound will be much better.
@@vijayshankarrk4495 It's turned off
I listened to Apple Music on my Galaxy S23 Ultra and it sounds great especially when you’re listening to lossless ones.
Same! I definitely notice a difference. Not sure if it's a placebo, but I'll take it :)

I stopped using Spotify caused the sound quality is really compressed, I listened to the same song in UA-cam music and I was surprised how different it was.
I mean UA-cam has a factually worse sound quality. The main thing UA-cam has is amazing recommendations. Apple Music has great quality but lacking in the algorithm. For me Spotify is like an in between with an added benefit of amazing playlists.
What? 😂 It was reverse in my case. UA-cam compresses EVERYTHING, where Spotify has up to 320kbps. I find Spotify has a clearer sound than YT after compared to the same song in both and shock of the difference, same as you, but reverse.

Turn off audio normalization in Spotify settings. Boom now the quality is the same.
I've tried Apple music because I've gotten free subscriptions. The sound quality is noticeably better on Apple music. But what annoys me is they deleted my playlist after my subscription ended. Which is kind of just makes me not want to go back. What's nice about Spotify is I can control what's playing from my Pixel, my PC or my iPad. Is Apple music able to do that?
Oh wow!
No it doesn’t work the same with control unfortunately. Though you can play to airplay devices etc
Spotify is still much better for that.
And that playlist thing is pretty bad! 😞

Wait, they don't delete it... When you re activate the subscription, it comes back. The playlist isn't visible that's it.
This is exactly what I meant when I told my friends Apple Music has better sound quality. I was an android user, and I randomly downloaded Apple Music just to check out the quality, and it blew my mind. Especially I was playing my metal and rock songs, and the difference is night and day. I stopped using spotify since then. I love Spotify recommendations and it’s wrapped, but the diluted quality turn me off after I’ve been exposed to Apple Music.

I started using apple on a Samsung phone. I have tried Spotify premium. Apple music is WAY better. I am an avid listener. I have tried and listened to literally every available service. None compare to apple music for me. Always have new music to listen to. I still have all the apps on my devices. But Apple Music is my most used.
The overwhelming majority of artists can no longer make a living through sales thanks to music streaming.
I personally stopped using it because when I skipped songs too much it would stop playing by itself so I would have to manually click on a song or switch it each time unless I am cleared out all the settings which requires me to turn up sound quality again
I have an iPhone and macOs, but Apple Music usability is so bad for me. If I click on an artist name, it takes me to my library, and not the artist page.
I can't drag-n-drop an album to create a playlist inside a folder - and it doesn't let me add an album to a folder, so...
I use both of them as well. Library management is the biggest Apple Music's selling point but music discovery is where Spotify shines.
3:30. it's really true. I personally find that Apple Music runs better on Android than iOs. Crossfade, for example, was available on Android first, while it wasn't available on iOs 15.
Totally agree. I went from Spotify to Apple Music on my android device and the difference was huge!
Better or worse ?
@@chiemezieokeke670 😂
Not me getting a Spotify ad on this video 😃
I regularly use both. I mainly kept Spotify around for the recommendations, but I prefer Apple Music in pretty much every other way. However, even Spotify's recommendations seem to have become worse over the years. Also, Apple Music Replay has gotten better. I have been using Apple Music a lot more recently and I went back to Spotify for a day, I am no audiophile and listen through some mid-level speakers and AirPods, but I just find the sound of Apple Music to be much more pleasing, even without lossless.
Sir you're correct. I am a free Spotify user where I can't even fast forward anymore but I have found the audio coming out of the app is not clearer anymore. I thought because my phone is 5 yrs old it was having this issue but I have asked my friends who have Spotify premium and now you've mentioned it I'm sure that other apps provide better music quality but I kept the app because I have personalised all my playlists there according to my mood and I use the discover section to find new artists and music and listen it to a different app 😅
For me, it’s the access to lyrics that make me gravitate to Apple Music more often than Spotify (I pay for both services). There are simply way more songs that have lyrics available on AM - it’s not even close.
Every S series samsung phone supports LDAC & High Res Lossless audio not to mention Dolby Atmos built in.
I do not know where that info came from but its just wrong, ive been listening to Flac files using Poweramp on android for literal years

I love apple music. It contains all my music that I've downloaded in the past several years and now that I have an Samsung phone, I'm glad I can use it on that platform.
Likewise! I’m enjoying it a bit more because it keeps playing all the old punk rock music I used to listen to lol
I’m on Apple Music after like 10 years of being on Spotify. I seriously miss the playlist personalization of Spotify, how easy it was to find curated playlists with new music, and the social aspect of it. Also the overall layout of the homepage and playlists section. What’s keeping me on AM is the quality of music, how amazing the shuffle is compared to whatever tf Spotify has, and how clean everything is comparatively in its design.
I genuinely thought it was just me when I got to try Apple Music after using Android since the Samsung S2 days. NOW I CANT GO BACK TO SPOTIFY
I just like the overall feel of spotify and how many songs I've found that I wouldn't have if it wasn't for their own Playlist compiled from my likes. I'm super obsessed with audio quality and play spotify on my sonos speakers, that sounds amazing already. So for me it's always spotify as I can't go without the spotify connect now and it's so convenient.
I love Spotify, but about a year ago when they started pushing spoken-word content on the main app page, I realized I like my podcast/audiobook app(s) and music apps to be different. So I went back to Apple Music. Oh, and the other reason was Spotify never brought out their lossless tier. That said, Spotify is still the best for AI recommendations. In that regard, Apple isn't terrible, but not the best.
Spotify is the worst, they deleted my play list with out any particular reason, after that i switched to youtube music.
Even with Premium, Spotify’s audio quality is lower than some competitors like Tidal or Apple Music.
I see someone's a fellow Spiritbox listener
🙌🏼
Spotify is the better option for the largest audience. Quality honestly doesn't matter much. I even know people who switched from apple Music to spotify for the features, and they don't care about the quality drop. There is ONE feature, tho that I would like to see on spotify, and I think they might implement it soon. The karaoke mode/turning off the voice.
I use UA-cam music and have tidal for free with my phone contract. I use a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. They both sound amazing in terms of audio quality. I wonder how they compare to Apple music!

@@mrdextrous355 I tried apple music on my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and it sounded exactly the same as my UA-cam music and my tidal. I don't know if the ios version is different.
@@LenaRose1204 it is because it’s optimised through iOS. Other than iOS no other os can get Dolby atmos or losless audio straight through their phone manufacturer or earbuds unless you actually specifically buy headphones that are optimised just for that. Spotify are not currently giving the user the ‘studio’ effect like Apple Music plus on other music streaming sites from what I’ve seen charge you extra for ‘hifi’ quality but Apple give you that level of sound as standard so that’s the difference between em
@@mrdextrous355 right
I’m an I phone user but use Spotify, Apple doesn’t have an custom EQ, I also use highest bits on Spotify and again love EQ to adjust bass, mids, Treble
Actually snapdragon sound isn't that lossless. If you want lossless the much better LDAC format give higher data rates up to 990kb/s
Oh absolutely! And with a proper DAC but then I gets expensive and complicated for a lot of people 😬
It was a UA-cam channel about wifi where they compared different streaming services and also made sure that they all sounded the same loud, he said it can be perceived that it sounds better just because it sounds louder
I installed Apple Music on my Sony phone and it is now even offering me localized pricing, which it didn’t on my Mac. Same price as Spotify, so worth the trial. Thanks, man!

Still being in a range around 320kbps which is set as the minimum quality in other stream apps, similar to YT videos quality.
One setting that degrades the sound quality in Spotify is normalize volume. Once I turned that off it made a big difference in sound quality

I am agree about the quality of the sound. I'm a long-time user of spotify and recently discover that even with youtube music, the sound from spotify app is bad. Spotify really needs to fix this
The thing is, you are best using a wired connection for lossless. Hooked up to hi-res headphones. Maybe connect the AudioQuest Dragonfly DAC to your phone to get the best hi-res audio.
Tried YT Music a while ago, the audio is processed in such a way that despite being lower quality than Spotify, i just preferred the way it sounded. I switched back to Spotify mainly because of Connect though. Just can't beat that
I was a Spotify user but I deleted my account from there coz of the fact that as a free user, I can listen only songs on random mode but I cannot skip more than 6 songs in a day.
But the moment when I switched to Apple Music, the experience was amazing as it contains Dolby Audio and Lossless Audio❤
Yea but Apple ain’t free
I use apple music for a few reasons.
1. I love the look of apple music, it gives off this quality feel where spotify just feels cluttered or something.
2. It works so much better on iphone, not because apple is locking down spotify, but because they are able to build so much more into there own app.
I am also not one to listen to music recommendation systems very much so I honestly couldnt care less about spotify being technically better when neither is bad.
Spotify Hifi has been talked about for a long time and I waited and waited, when apple announced lossless music for no extra cost I cancelled Spotify and Tidal and switched…
Classical music is clearer and the bluetooth issue is a thing true, but what the bluetooth codecs can do with a lossless file is still better than what they do with compressed files so I’m fine with that.
Is just me but I just can’t use Spotify because it makes no sense I’ll look a up or click a song and it plays a random song and I have to jump through 1000 different hoops to finally get it
I've switched to YT music simply because I'm already paying for Premium, and might as well reap the benefits and save the money from Spotify
Spotify's "Go to Song Radio" is completely garbage nowadays. It's like they just gave up on it.
Been a Apple music boy for a long time for the lossless audio as I could hear the difference between that and Spotify massively! But recently decided try out YT music and been pleasantly surprised! Did a thorough test between AM and YTM quality through my high fidelity headphones and there wasn't that much difference imo.
The YTM UI was also a surprise and loving it over AMs UI. But will always lean towards AM cause it's free with my phone contract 😂
Try youtube music vanced. It's free and excellent.
youtube music quality is worst than spotify
Personally I've thoroughly tested both and couldn't tell the difference that much, but at the same time it wouldn't surprise me cause UA-cam does add a lot of compression when artists upload their songs and vids. But through my headphones it's negligible to me. Apple will always be top right now over them two anyway
@@gerrmanceyo tengo los 3 servicios de pago, AM, YTM Y SPOTIFY y déjame decirte que UA-cam Music se come a Spotify, y hasta a mí me sorprendió, se lo come en calidad y recomendaciones, Apple music me encanta por su interfaz y la calidad de sonido pero su sistema de recomendaciones no es tan bueno
@@gerrmance Objectively the bitrate is lower but subjectively i find youtube music more pleasing to listen too, tracks seem more dynamic and detailed vocals also are less harsh. This is on audiophile headphones too
I got a Walkman last year and it is the best for music listerning
A Tesla guy on UA-cam claims. that the sound from Tidal is more dynamic than from Spotify. on the other hand, he said that he used to listen offline, that there could be problems online, it probably has to do with things like mobile coverage and the speed when hifi on Tidal apparently according to the screen corresponds exactly to that of an original CD 1411 kpps
Spotify also work offline with a variety of Garmin watches and to me it feels a bit more light weight to use, however I have also made a small trip to Apple Music. (I am on Android).
The Dolby Atmos songs sound significantly better, I could test them back to back with my Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 buds. (you can swipe and change the 2 players on an Android phone)
I have been using apple music for a while now and honestly, one of the absolute best music service that i have ever used. The sound is crisp and the difference is so audible that its hard to express. The audio seems alive. I use buds 2 pro with my s23u and weirdly enough, i use apple music. I still pay dor spotify but what can i say
When I see on the back your MiniDisc player, I think... this review has sufficient authority 😉 I am also a member of the apple music team 🤘
Loved my Minidisc player back in the day! Shame they only really lasted for a few years before MP3 Players came out to dominate
I just can't deal with Spotify not supporting Amoled displays. This is like one of the easiest thing to do with no negative repercussions whatsoever and yet they haven't done it, but cracked version of Spotify have
What about content. My biggest fear of dropping spotify is that i will have songs that is not available. I find spotify to have tons of tracks. Both hits and classics but also stuff like funny meme songs from youtube for that matter
Dolby atmos supposed to be surround audio, like literally 360 degree, because it's literally meant to surround with sound
None of them. Just rip your music to a FLAC, use your secondary phone (if it has Hi-Res Support and MicroSD expansion, better) AND play it through VLC.
Trust me. You'll save yourselves the headache of wasting money on abusive subscription fees.
The reason i switched from spotify to Apple Music, 2 reasons
1. Sound quality
2. Changing location mostly in china Spotify gave me 2 location with a time limit and i got mad for that. Apple Music works no matter the country no need of VPn
World's most popular does in no way equate to world's best, I'd argue in terms of quality Spotify is easily the worst, Tidal is the best service out there, they have the best quality and with the recent price drop are also competitive now, Apple music have great quality but the garbage Bluetooth codecs on iPhones means there literally no point using it
I switched this year back and forth and as a kind of Rookie Apple User I still think both have their Advantages and Disadvantages. I'm still not entirely sure but I think it will go to Apple Music for me because I'm just so familiar with the Design Language of Apple. Also as a starting Producer I just hear the difference so clearly and Spotify doesn't even come close. Third Reason is that I'm considering Apple One to bundle up multiple Services.
for people that think spotify plays the same 10 songs all the time just disable automix in settings, thank me later :)
Louder audio does not mean it's better!
Spotify made literally the most important details of a music app ONLY premium. Where lyrics, shuffle, loop, let alone stopping the shuffle, a bunch of vocaloid songs are altered making it really bad quality (example "ECHO") and some songs aren't available in certain countries are all premium. You can only listen to music, but songs that aren't even in your playlist are there too. The whole app is in a paywall, nothing else.
ill never switch from googles youtube premium. i get all the songs in the world add-free, i get the music videos and lyrics, i get all the versions possible of every song possible, and in the decade were in, where we all watch youtube on a daily basis.. i really do have better things to do than watch 4 40 seconds long unskippable adds per video. no no no. 13.99 for an addfree life is well worth it to me.
David Lee Roth was harshly criticized by Wolfgang Van Halen for keeping the A Different Kind Of Truth album off Spotify . This must be why . And some artists think they're getting ripped off from Spotify ( allegedly )
I used to use Apple Music, but the recommendation system of Spotify really drew me away from Apple Music.
I agree. I have always preferred apple music. Also Apple does support lossless with the beats studio pro and solo 4 which is nice
bro 2 seconds into the video and Spiritbox is the first artist I see, mad respect.
What makes me not like Apple Music is that you have to monthly pay to listen to songs completely without just listening to the previews, and that many small or even big artists don’t release some of their songs on Apple Music and if not on Spotify too, then there’s episodes of them on Spotify, if not official. And I just feel like Spotify is better in MY opinion. But y’all can list down your opinions and differences of apple and spoti, BUT PLS DONT START A ARGUMENT.
I have been off it for 5 months after being a member for 10 yeara. I don't miss but I don't care about artists/bands lives or songs anymore with so many of my own problems to worry about
As a life long spotify user, I have made the switch to physical/digital ownership of media. My life has never been cheaper, ironically.
When using an iPhone, Spotify allows you to use their true EQ, whereas Apple Music doesn't have an EQ, just presets......which is bad. So I use Spotify, have Apple too, but solely Spotify for preferred sound.
The only thing i hate about Spotify is that you CAN'T play your mixes if you are NOT subscribed..WTH? Thats why i rather use UA-cam music..
I have always preferred Apple Music. Sounds better plus I liked how I can add one or two songs from an album vs the album. I don’t like making playlists like that for two songs. Lossless for free on Apple Music is icing on the cake
I used to have Spotify but switched to Apple Music as only Apple Music has better sound quality than Spotify. Plus I have an addictive habit of following my favorite artists on Spotify which is a headache to me. That is another reason I switched to Apple Music is cause u don’t follow your favorite artists on Apple Music like Spotify 😊
Man I just miss Google Play music and uploading my own music to the cloud and then streaming that
been using both since 2016 (apple music), & 2018 (Spotify), And I can say Apple Music has been better for years, Of the two AM was the only one that I can see has improved drastically through the years. also the one really cool thing I love is that AM has a dedicated downloaded songs section, which Spotify still doesn't have. The only downside is the connect feature which is actually understandable as Apple is a tech company with other product so they have to keep some features for themselves. I just wish they had a tv app though.
The no additional charge for audiobooks became a price increase 😢

My Spotify annual sub is about to expire and since I already pay for YT premium I don't think I'll be renewing with Spotify, and I'm a programmer so I'm building a service to switch all my playlists over to UA-cam as best as possible, remind me in a week or so when I hope I have finished it if you'd like to use it :)

Just the opposite for me mate. I went from Spotify to Apple music and stayed for a long time until I tried Spotify again just recently. 2 months now.
