Could you create a new smart playlist for ‘Date Added’ is in the last X days and use Siri to play that?
Why do I need to do anything at all? When I open Apple Music I clearly see "Recently Added," yet I cant summon Siri to play all my recently added tracks? Makes no UX sense to me especially since they highlight this when you first open the app.
I like I'm sure many predicted this would be inevitable regardless how better one product is over another. At the end of the day Spotify can't compete with Apple's budget, and music streaming isn't a long term profitable business on it's own. I love Apple and deep into their ecosystem. However, certainly not a fan of Apple Music. When using on the Mac iTunes is rather horrific since everytime I search it searches loc…
What Apple has done here is they've captured their ecosystem users that likely would have never signed up with Spotify in the first place.
If Microsoft bundling a browser is antitrust, why isn’t this?
Spotify is available via Discord, Xbox, and Playstation. The diversity of clients is key for me. Apple Music has at most what an Android App?
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…
I think you’re missing out by not using YouTube Red. You can download _any_ video. Lecture. Music. Whatever. And the app plays in the background on your phone. Working out, whatever, you have any video/music production at your disposal.
The background playback feature is the only thing I would like, but I think it is a really shitty decision to have such a fundamental feature as a paid one, therefore, I won't pay for it.

Google Music's multi-device support is terrible though. "Playback Paused Because Your Account Is Being Used in Another Location" I have a Google Music Family Plan ("up to 10 devices each"). But it simply doesn't work, I cannot even play both YouTube and Google Music on the same account, let alone playback on multiple devices. We have a few Google Home Minis and a Google Home. They were initially all set up using the…
I agree about this. I like Google Music and unlike Apple Music it didn't and doesn't want to delete all my music then shrug and say it's my fault for not buying from Apple, but... I can't even use youtube while my 3 year old daughter tries to listen to her bath music. It's pretty ridiculous.
It happened to me with several hundred PDFs of sheet music from IMSLP that I was storing on iBooks. I couldn't work out where they had gone or why they were wiped. I switched to GoodReader and painstakingly had to rebuild the entire collection.

This is just a bit of useless pedantry, but wouldn't the album be more like the "molecule of music", with the song being the atom? (That would make verse, chorus, bridge and refrain the "quarks of music", I guess.)
I assume OP means atomic in the “indivisible” sense, and so it doesn’t make sense to search for or listen to specific songs, etc, not in the “compositional” sense.

Google music has been the best for me: - 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
Apple Music also supports adding your own ripped CDs.

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 is an online services company with incidental hardware, Apple Music is a hardware company with incidental online services. Google's primary concern with it's hardware is driving online services. Apple's primary concern with online services is driving it's hardware ecosystem. So, sure, Google has no problem embracing other hardware platforms for it's online services, but Apple has a lot less interest in that.

Playing in a browser is unfortunately a non-starter for me. It burns way more CPU than a native player, doesn't integrate well with the MBP media controls, and can't download songs locally for listening when I'm on a bad network connection. Spotify is still my first choice but I do really miss being able to upload my own music for things that aren't in their catalog. I don't use Apple music because I'm not willing to…
What do you mean by "single-platform service"? Apple Music is available for Windows (via iTunes) and Android (via a dedicated app)
