...compared to Spotify, Tidal, Rdio, etc.
Not only is your music streaming integrated right into your default music player, it's integrated with the music you've bought right from iTunes.
There's no need to switch back and forth when you want to listen to your local music imported from iTunes and when you want to listen to the music you stream. It's all in the main default music playing app.
Not *only* that, but while Spotify can sync local files, it can't stream the files saved on your computer. Apple Music uploads those local files to iCloud (similar to Match), so that random VGM that's not for sale can still be streamed from your library.
The only other competitor that can do this is Google Play Music, as far as I understand, and that really is only taken the best advantage of on Android (since it's not integrated with the system on iOS).
I thought I'd point that out (please correct me if I'm wrong about something - I don't use Rdio or TIDAL, just Spotify (which is a major pain))
