That's only if you login with Facebook to Spotify... Which isn't required.
No, you are mistaken. I have no Facebook account. Spotify phones home to Facebook the moment the app is opened. This can be confirmed with a no-root firewall like Netguard on Android.
Uses 50MB less memory as the sole tab in Firefox than iTunes does on my Mac. Easy decision to switch for normal playback purposes.
Is 50MB that important? I would just use whatever provides you with the best experience (whichever that may be).
This is great, no longer trying to get iTunes working in wine on linux, just play the music straight from the browser, and if you want a native app, Windows and MacOS has iTunes, no electron non-sense.
Not much better than Electron IMO. Apple Music in the browser seems like there isn't much hope of a truly native experience now.
seems they're using Ember.js . Reason I love spotify so much is that it's available on the web, no need to be downloading native apps everywhere. Always bet on the web. also good to see, another web property using Ember. As a react dev, competition is healthy

This was the reason I chose Spotify over Apple music all those years ago. Any reason to prefer Apple Music over Spotify? Spotify's recommendations have been absolutely stellar for me over the years and I have a lot of playlists and stuff "locking" me in.
Apple has long had a much better experience when it comes to offline use and private media. With iCloud, tracks you add to your library are automatically uploaded to Apple's cloud and become available on all devices.
