I mean Spotify has been around a lot longer. Is it weird that new users aren't growing as fast if it already held the majority?
In Australia apple music is given away for free with a few of our mobile providers for free. Is the same in the USA? I dont know a single apple music user in Australia. Spotify is a much better user experience.
I have very few complaints about apple music, and most of them are because I regard the Atomic Unit Of Music to be the studio album. 1. No Tool. :( 2. No easy way to reorder search results to be album first. 3. Date of original album release is buried. 4. Hard to filter by "studio album" vs "live album" vs "compilation album" vs "greatest hits album". 5. Siri can't help; "play me the third album by the rolling stones…
Has the UX gotten better? I tried it back when it first came out for the free 3 month trial and I went back to paying for spotify because it was so horrible.
Honestly, I can't imagine switching to Apple Music. Speaking as a guy who owns an iPhone and a Mac. I love being able to smoothly control playback from any device. I love how seamless the experience is, I've only tried the Apple Music Trial when it first came out and I can't see any possible reason to switch to it now. Spotify is excellent for music discovery, and I love the top songs and everything. It's perfect. It…

This is why I normally stay away from Apple services. My household runs on an eclectic mix of Android and Apple devices, and this is exactly how we like it. Google seems to have embraced the presence of Apple devices in its ecosystem, so why not the other way around?
Google must, Apple is not under the same pressure to reciprocate.
And here I was thinking they were fighting a lost battle.
(I realize Play Music has the same advantage on Android but Google has completely failed to even try to promote this service)
I’ve been an unhappy subscriber since it started. Siri commands and Apple Music are essential when driving and thus I’m stuck with it(only use it while driving which is frequently). After three years it still sucks for me because... - bloated UX - try asking Siri to play all your “Recently Added,” songs without creating a new playlist. - how can I discover new music when driving? I can ask Siri play similar songs to…

- IT doesn't block it at work(it blocks spotify)
- I don't have to install anything
- I don't see ads on youtube
- it has all of my music that came from CDs backed up to it
- I regularly discover new music through their Radio feature so long as the artist/song isn't super popular

Google Assistant will happily play you Spotify songs on Android. Obviously Apple won't allow integration with third party software on iPhone.
I feel like Apple bullies people into inferior experiences.
