That is not quite the best suggestion.
Can you imagine the size of the anti-competitive fines… let alone the law suits?
Besides, for those of us who rate Spotify as the superior service, why should it become our problem to get shoved on to Apple's second rate service?
May I recommend Deezer or Tidal? Both are quality services and their library is the same if not larger than Spotify's.Not coming back to Spotify until they bring out Lossless Sound, the sound quality is absolutely ****.
I’ve signed up for this promotion simply to use with my amazon echos as Apple Music isn’t available on echos in the UK yet. I won’t be continuing with the subscription at the end of the 3 months. My main subscription is Apple Music.I personally know more than one person hunting these promotions, but never signing up for real. My assumption is that such people outnumber people like you. In any case this paid subscription number is questionable since they don’t brake it down in detail.
Nothing wrong with iWork. I’d use it over Microsoft office.Except it’s completely wrong.
I don’t like Spotify’s UI. Never have done. Even back in the day before Apple Music when I had a free trial. I have a 3 month subscription which I purely use on my echos. I never go into the app because it’s a mess and I won’t be continuing with it when it’s finished.I think I might be the only person to be completely satisfied with Apple Music. It carried all my iTunes library to Apple Music and applied my listening history to all recommendations. It’s perfect. I’ve checked Spotify on friends phones and don’t like the design at all. It looks super busy with endless tabs and recommendations. Also, Spotify creates these really generic listening playlists with what I would call fake artists that sound like the real thing but are really not to avoid paying royalties to bigger names.

How do you find the loading? I didn't have much success with either them or Deezer, but I believe that was four or maybe five years ago now.Yes I am with Tidal right now.
Being an iPhone user and half Apple Fan, I gave Apple Music many opportunities, and I still went back to Spotify.
Apple Music is exactly like iTunes, a bloody piece of crap by Apple Standards. ( I am blaming Iovine for this )
AM on the echo devices are half baked. Some features work some don’t. Not sure if it is cause of Amazon. Or Apple that it is not fully polished at this point.Well they have been running that £0.99 for 3 months deal over the past few months. I signed up just so I could use Spotify on my amazon echos whilst waiting for Apple Music to be be available on the echos in the UK. I won’t be renewing it when it runs out.

I will have a look on my husbands phone this evening and let you know.As an Apple Music user on iOS, are these features missing on Android on iOS?
Gapless playback
Orientation to landscape
Swipe across screen/album art to advance track
TIA
For clarificationI will have a look on my husbands phone this evening and let you know.
No the features aren’t available on Apple Music on iOS.For clarification
The features are missing on Android Apple Music. I use Huawei P20 Pro
Are they available on iOS version (iPhone)?
Paid subscription numbers are basically worthless for Spotify when they are being offered at $0.99 for three months or some similar promotion.
Apple’s 50 million paid users is the real deal here.

But if you need to use the phone in landscape (on gym equipment etc) , the display is stuck in portrait and every thing is at 90 degrees. Great UI. Apple Music that is.I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't a fan of Spotify's UI.
Realy us quite incredible. All my Android music players have these functions , except Apple Music. I thought they would be on iOS but we're omitted from Android version for whatever reason. Thanks for checking.No the features aren’t available on Apple Music on iOS.
Spotify all the way. The app designs and music discovery is 10x better than Apple's.
Also doesn't mess with my local iTunes library like Apple Music did.
Cloud only=no issues.
I gave Apple Music another go when it gave me the option for a free trail recently and just couldn't stand the colour scheme and the complicated interface... I wish one day Apple will sort it out but Spotify is just too good in this business.
I mean we all know Spotify has been around longer so they know what their users want, which is why they are gaining more subscribers
Spotify is so much better than AM, its not even close... from interface to curation, to playlist sharing and subscribing... It's just worlds better..... I am usually a big fan of integration and having everything neatly within the same ecosystem but just couldn't pick AM over spotify.
As I understand, music you play is checked against the play lists of all users and with people who are playing similar stuff to you, you get other music they are playing selected for your discovery or daily play lists.The algorithms and curated playlists really are that many times better. Spotify somehow heavily invested in AI and it shows because it’s noticeable in the user experience IMO.

The curation really makes the difference! I’ve been introduced to so many artists via suggested playlists and “release radar” etc. It’s uncanny. Apple Music is like Pandora in 2008.

Yeah but I don't want free because it's limited. I want to choose songs I want to listen to, not shuffle play.But Spotify is already free on mobile, with ads, why would a bundle that you’re paying for still include ads?
