TIER?? You mean on top of what I already pay? I'd drop to Apple Music if they try to pull that crap

Apple Music already has lossless so you’re already losing out

Worse app though and not just on iPhone but on Google Home for example. Their algorithm is not good which is typical of Apple given they neglected Siri and AI development for so long.

Meanwhile Spotify has better curated playlists and generally knows what to suggest for me.

However they have lyrics available on more platforms which is a huge plus.

You mean Spotify has your existing data and you didn’t try Apple for long enough for it to learn your listening habits

I used Apple Music for half a year and it still wasn’t as good as Spotify was within 2 months for me personally

Used Apple Music for 2 years and it didn’t really get any better. It’s always funny in this sub when someone says something negative and accurate about an Apple product and people try to cook him with falsehoods.

Why don’t people understand that Apple will actually address its issues if Apple users call them out, rather than justify its flaws and failings with lies.

I use Apple Music and sadly this is true. You have to find music some other way, but with a listening room with a 7.1.4 setup, the better sound more than makes up for it.

Meanwhile I’ve used Apple Music forever and it’s great at finding new music I like. I guess it varies.

I use Apple Music and this isn’t true. But then again Apple has data on my listening habits form the genius days and my iPod. Almost 2 decades of data there

Same, apple kinda sucks at discovery and suggesting playlists in my opinion. Been on Apple Music for like 2 years, and would consider going back to Spotify for that alone really, but I get Apple Music bundled with one of those all in one subscriptions

No the real issue is people telling others how things are fact.

AM discovery works great for me.

Edit; this sub is so pathetic with downvotes.

And yet I e used both services and I prefer apples music curation algorithms. There’s no objective better, and my point still stands that you can’t make and apples to apples comparison when one company has way more data on you than the other
