Thanks to Apple Music's recommended playlists, it took me alone a few hours to ascertain about a dozen abundant advance I'd never heard before.
There's a lot to abstract in Apple Music, but one affair I acknowledge is that the playlists are beneath than Spotify's. Apple's playlists about accommodate amid 20 and 30 songs or as few as 10, while Spotify's can sometimes accommodate hundreds. Having beneath advance in one playlist doesn't feel as overwhelming, and abridgement the cardinal of advance makes me feel as if the songs were added anxiously selected.
It's important to agenda that Spotify already does a akin of animal curation for its recommended playlists, too, but the aggregation wouldn't acquaint me actually what the mix is amid bodies and algorithms selecting songs.

There's no accessible way to accompany over playlists from added casework (besides the old Beats Music) to Apple Music.

Apple Music on the desktop is actually terrible, mainly because of iTunes. It's buggy and air-conditioned ambagious to use. You can't do basal accomplishments such as bang on artists or albums while alert to a song in a playlist.

If Apple Music and Beats 1 were taken out of iTunes and fabricated into addition app on the Mac, that may be better. But appropriate now, Spotify's desktop app is a abundant bigger experience.
I don't anticipate Apple is necessarily a above blackmail to Spotify. Both casework accept basically the aforementioned music — with the barring of Taylor Swift's latest album, of course.

Apple Music will apparently aching Spotify's advance over time because it is preinstalled on every iPhone, but not abundant to put Spotify out of business.
