Spotify or Apple Music

Travisthedog

Who uses what and why do you prefer it. I've always used Spotify but folks I've spoken with recently say AM is actually as good now

Spotify all the way.

Tried Apple music and it was rubbish

That's what I thought 

ToneControl

tried both,  had been annoyed with spotify GUI, but Apple is worse

also apple can delete all your own music

maybe this has been fixed now?

Spotify for me.

What about Amazon Prime music? Some guys at work say that is as good as Spotify, but I haven't tried it.

Google Play Music for me. Works perfectly.

I'm usually a dyed in the wool Apple fan but Spotify by miles.

Spotify but I've never tried Apple music, I've always been a bit anti Apple and i-things just because they're so ubiquitous.

Spotify. Recently tried Google Play as I got 2 months free with a Pixel and I really liked how it integrated your tracks that are stored on your phone but I live by the follow feature so Spotify won that contest. 

I really liked Tidal for audio quality at home but the library was poor and the app on both phone and desktop was very glitchy.

I use Apple Music. Have a family account, so family members use it too. 
I find discovery isn't up to much, but this is the case with all Apple services.  Otherwise, don't have a problem with it.  Works very well.  There are very few artists that don't have their content listed, Joannah Newsom being one.

Much smaller library, No way as good as Spotify imo

Tried Apple Music a few months ago and was slightly shocked at how bad it was. So Spotify.

I've never used Apple products, so Spotify all the way.

Spotify for me too. I use google play on my phone sometimes but mostly I cast Spotify to various devices around the house. 

Flink_Poyd

Spotify for me. Haven't used any of the others so can't really compare but spotify works really well in the car where I listen to most of my music.

I am fully invested in the Apple ecoverse and have had Apple Music on a 3 month trial alongside Spotify.

Spotify all the way.

Amazon Music Unlimited (as opposed to the selective streaming you get with a regular Prime membership) claim to have 40 million songs, isn't that more than Spotify?  But of course you have to pay for it. I've been tempted to give it a try, but I know I'd forget to cancel it after the free trial and I'd be stuck with paying for it (just as I did with Prime itself).

No idea what the functionality is like.  I'm very fond of the "related artists" feature in Spotify and I don't know if Amazon Unlimited has anything similar.
