Sooooo Team Apple Music or Team Spotify? 😈😈😈😈😈😈

Apple Music also has a whole app dedicated to classical music! ❤

Ive had Apple Music for years, then I recently decided to try Spotify but within a week I switched back because the sound quality is so much better on Apple Music.

Team Apple Music

I’m team Spotify. I’ve tried switching over to Apple Music because of the “higher sound quality” and the design, however, I always find myself missing Spotify connect, the discover weekly and music discovery on Spotify is just spot on for me. Right now I have both, I’ve been comparing them, and I honestly cannot actually hear any meaningful difference in sound quality, I’ve had the highest quality on both, and yeah, no major differences in quality. Besides, everybody uses Spotify, so creating a jam, collaborative playlist or listening music together is much easier. I wish I could actually hear the “big sound quality difference” you all mention, since that’s the only reason I’m using both right now.

The main reason as to why I would go for Apple Music over Spotify is because i watch content on Apple TV so i can just pay for the apple one subscription so that i can watch stuff on Apple TV and have access to Apple Arcade where as Spotify is just music

I've noticed that the UI for Apple Music is much easier on the eyes compared to Spotify. The ProMotion display shines better on the Apple Music due to its nativity, making the overall experience more visually appealing.

As someone who've used both, Spotify is still the better platform imo. Apple is closing in with every update they release and unless Spotify starts doing some really good stuff Apple will have overtaken them in 2-3 years

I like both platforms since i have both, but i would prefer Apple Music more because of the fact that it brings the music listening experience to a whole new level wether you are listening to Dolby Atmos or Lossless Audio Apple Music just does it spot on.

As you have mentioned that apple is very song/album oriented; where for a lot of people it is not very practical since most people does not have the time to discover new music manually outside playlists. As a person who likes to discover new music in different genres, I would prefer Spotify; but in terms of sound quality and the radio feature Apple Music has done well. PS: I kinda switch every 2 months from spotify to apple music :) Thank you for the content Nikias!

i tried both but i stick with Apple Music. Especially because of spatial audio. when Apple introduced it it felt like i was my favourite music felt brand new. such a great experience

I’m using both! But I’m leaning toward 🍎

Spotify since 2013/14, then went back and forth in 2020, before sticking with Apple Music since then. No plans to change. Prefer Apple’s more conservative approach. Don’t want TikTok-style features in my music app.

Y un detalle muy importante a favor de Apple Music es la integracion que tiene con Shazam. Yo lo uso muchisimo para identificar canciones y integrarlas en mis listas. 👍

I’ve been a Spotify user for 8 continuous years and recently just switched to Apple music. I like Spotify’s navigation more but I like Apple music’s design/layout on my iPhone better. The quality on Apple music is more superior to Spotify’s. Also, it’s a lot easier to micro scrub on apple music than Spotify. Over the years i’ve cared less and less about the social aspect that Spotify is better at. Apple Music also seamlessly works with Shazam. It’s also way easier to add local music files to AM. It’s a lot more tedious on Spotify. The one thing I miss is having podcasts within the same app. Unfortunately Apple uses their own podcast app whereas Spotify is integrated from within. I’m still sold on Apple music for the time being

I gave up Spotify after I got the Apple One subscription with Apple Music included, migrated my playlists over and I love it, I just wish the queue was more interactive like Spotify’s

Hey Nikias!! I just wanted to tell you that you are amazing and I’ve been watching you since the start. You put so much hard work into your videos. Keep it up, love you so much 💙🧡 And definitely Apple Music all the way 😂✌️

I have both and I try to love Apple Music, but I seem to gravitate towards Spotify. There are a number of reasons, but I love being able to control my music from other devices and also switching seamlessly from the Mac to phone or iPad.

I was an iTunes user for so long starting with the original iPod, so Apple Music feels right at home. I’ve tried getting into Spotify but never could.

I’ve had Spotify for 8 years and both for the past 3 months. Apple Music sounds amazing. But Spotify finds me so much new music every week that I could never leave it. SPOTIFY

Thanks for the detailed video. For me, it's been Apple Music for a few years now. Spotify's navigation has become increasingly user-unfriendly over the last few years. In general, the whole Spotify design is a horror (just look at the lyrics). As a designer, Apple Music makes my heart beat faster. I feel that the app is far too cluttered. I am someone who says podcast belongs in its own app. I have the feeling that I listen to music much more intensively via Apple Music and discover more albums. The sound quality and connection to Apple TV are also a no-brainer. The latest updates to Apple Music are making the app better and better :)

I used to be a Spotify diehard, but the most recent update sucks so that’s why I’m here lol. I’ll open a new playlist, that I’ve listened to before, and my settings no longer stay in place. I HATE that my playlist ends and no longer repeats like usual. If I press shuffle that setting stays, but not the repeat button… the same when looking up a song. The one I would press would just repeat, perfect because it’s the one I looked for in the first place. Now it plays once and Spotify gives me random songs I didn’t ask to hear. The repeat button is also under a whole lot of menus I have to look for while the shuffle button is right then when you open a playlist or album. AM looks promising with this, but now I have to learn the layout of it to really see if it’s worth the 10 dollars a month. Thanks for the video!

i would actually give it a try the only problem would be tv (fire stick) support and i have a spotify family acc i share with other people. great video!

I had Apple Music for the audio quality, better lyrics, etc., but the music discovery/search feature on Spotify is SO MUCH better, and I couldn't live without Spotify Connect to cast to my Echos, I decided to switch to Spotify.

No one talks about how the lyrics are significantly more accurate on Apple Music. Sometimes the lyrics on Spotify are off sync, but never a problem on Apple.

Great quality vid as always, a little nit pick is that the saturation is a bit too high. your skin looks unnaturally orange. I would reference mkbhd as having the perfect balance

Team Spotify, the algorithm helps me discover more music and artist. Apple music feels more cookie cutter and not personalized to my music taste.

just like last year i’m exited to see you listening to benito’s new album ❤

Apple Music especially since I’m a college student I get Apple TV included as well. Spotify has student discount as well but no extras

I like both, have a slight preference for Spotify UI, but at the end I chose Apple Music for the following reasons: - better integration in the Apple ecosystem (smart stacks on the iPhone include Apple Music but not Spotify) - better Apple Watch experience; easier to download on the Watch, no Spotify complications, - integration with Shazam - Apple Music Classical app

Must try Apple Music on a Mac to fully understand about it. For instances, it has visualizer

Must try Apple Music on a Mac to fully understand about it. For instances, it has visualizer and it can also import

I have both, Love Spotify the most, but prefer the audio on apple music. I just use Soundiiz to sync the playlist so I have the best of both worlds.

Been spotify user for years, but I just switched to Apple Music cause I been searching for some old skool house music(SA) and couldn't find them on spotify but found them all on Apple Music and also want to try this spatial audio.

Honestly, both apps have their pros and cons. It makes me can’t really choose. Spotify is continually enhancing its features and playlists. But when it comes down to it, good sound quality is what matters to me the most. So, yeah, I've been using Apple Music for two years now. Plus, the subscription price is pretty much the same for both in my country.

I have both but I choose Spotify because of algorithms. Spotify daily Playlist and new music discovery takes the cake and far superior.

I've had both for a couple of years but as much as I try to support smaller companies, Apple is the clear winner for me with better overall price and seamless Shazam integration! And if you go for a bundle with Apple One (iCloud, TV+, music, games), well then there is no comparison and there's also a premier version which includes fitness and news with an extra 2TB iCloud storage. It's really about overall saving, time and convenient for digital services just like I don't get my groceries from a butchers, a greengrocer, a milkman, and so on but only from one big supermarket.

Apple Music Team here. I never liked Spotify’s UI (That’s why I was using Deezer before Apple Music). I do love how minimalist Apple Music is. It looks clean and uncomplicated.

Hey there .. I have Spotify for a couple of years .. and I’m wondering about the Apple Music app? Is it really true that the sound quality is better on Apple Music? With my iPhone and airpods?

Spotify Connect is the feature that I adore the most

I just changed from spotify and I’m struggling to get used to apple music. The UI feels very confusing right now, but I’m gonna keep it for at least a month, maybe I’ll get used to i

I love how Spotify is rumored to come out with Spatial Audio when they haven’t even come out with higher quality audio.

Does Apple have offline listening?

I switched from spotify to apple music i paid since 5 months now but i'm still using spotify for listening podcasts and i use spotify to share my playlists to my friends & my family for listening music because they don't have apple music so that's why i use both lol

Idk moving between Spotify on my pc to my iPad and my phone and keeping where o was is the biggest thing plus if you just switch with the AirPods between an iPad and an iPhone you don’t even have to like reconnect them so I think Spotify is winner

I was a team Spotify for the longest time but for the past year. Ik you said the discovery was better on Spotify but why I am on apple music is the discovery features it's maybe the best thing

i use youtube music. perfect. no ads on youtube as well

Apple Music FTW. I was a Spotify user since 2014, but I switched to Apple Music in March, and I'm not coming back. At first, I hate it, cause the Spotify made me discover so much great songs, and Apple Music was useless, only playing the same ones. But after some time, it started suggesting some different songs, and now it have a pretty close accuracy. Also, the ecosystem integration, the UI, the sound quality, and the reason why I changed, the Apple One bundle. I can have iCloud + Apple TV + Music for almost the same price as Spotify.

Bro, the animations appearing behind you 🤯 🔥

The big downside of Spotify is the confusing UI and the podcasts integration.

I prefer Spotify, but it doesn’t work on my Apple Watch for offline listening when I leave my phone at home during workouts, unlike Apple Music. So I have both 😬

Should I upgrade from the 14 Pro to the 15 Pro Max or upgrade to the 15 Pro? Also, is 256GB enough this year? And, which color between Natural Titanium and White Titanium would you choose? Or instead, should I get 13 Pro brand new from parallel importer 3rd party store or a refurbished one from eBay? Currently, I have the iPhone 14 Pro Space Black 256GB which has scrolling stuttering, battery life is bad, it has lags in the Camera app and some games and overheating issues.

I prefer Apple Music, but all my friends have Spotify and since I share music with some and create collaborative playlists with others, I’m stuck with it lol.

I just switched to apple music today and the quality is chef's kiss !!!

Spotify is a great platform that used to be so far ahead of AM but in these last few years they focused on trying to keep their investors happy that AM is going to catch up to them in terms of features sooner than later. As a person who really enjoys a nice and clean screen I love AM choice to have full screen album covers, a lot of work went into them and being able to see them full screen is great. Again with the clean look I actually prefer having everything separate when it comes to music, podcast and audiobooks, I prefer to swap from podcast app to music and stay on the page I was at on my podcast app when I go back to it. But the biggest reason I stick with AM is solvency, AM is Apple which is the richest company in the world with the most liquidity while Spotify has put itself in a corner with its business model and that is not a good sign.

Watching this video with no ads means I also have UKposts music via UKposts premium. Apple music and Spotify can't compete with that.

I recently switched to Apple Music because I like the simplicity. Spotify has a lot more features which is awesome for people who like them, however, I’d rather have a simple app that plays music very well and can support hi res and spacial audio. I personally don’t care for AI DJs, smart shuffle or the algorithmically generated playlists. However, I still think Spotify is superior when it comes to device synchronization and social features. Hopefully Apple will improve in those areas in the future.

I’ve used Spotify and I am trying the Apple Music 3 month trial. I’ll see what I end up with after these 3 months and I may stay with Apple or just go back to Spotify. We’ll see!

Apple Music só é lerdo para adicionar o básico no app, mas o design e a qualidade sonora. Affff amoooo

Which is better for an Apple Watch? I have the AWU2 and find that Spotify on the watch hasn’t been great despite having downloaded songs to the watch.

I love Spotify! The reason im sticking with it because we are on the verge of the hifi tier hopefully a drop in a month or so they said before the end of the year. Its basically called supremium. I get the benefit of hifi from my highend headphone Amplifier and DAC stack. I was using Tidal alongside but that had its own issues ive stuck with Spotify because i knew we were close to having high quality audio. The playlists are fantastic and im a metal genre listener and i also enjoy lofi and ambient music.

Apple music💪🏻

That’s why i have both.. i can’t let go spotify bcz it has my playlist & I can’t let go apple music bcz the app, the album art & spatial audio is my fav.. ❤😂

Im tired of trying to love apple music. I gave it every chance to but here’s what I don’t like: 1.Queuing system sucks big time. Play last:I don’t want to listen whole playlist of 100 songs just to have my song. Play next: it doesn’t go as queue system it goes last song at first. 2. A radio option which should be optional. It adds an extra tab making it difficult on eyes. 3. My biggest problem is UI just keeps on loading forever despite good cellular or wifi network. 4. When you make a station from a song it doesn’t show upcoming songs in queue like spotify. Only pro i feel is sound quality and browsing new songs when they go live.

ur taste broooo going from taylor to drake to olivia🔥🔥🔥

totally fan of Apple Music. The sound quality and the interface.

I use both platforms but I prefer Apple Music. The UI, UX and quality is a chefs kiss.

This comparison video is so unique

I had Spotify back in 2015 I can’t remember much but I have Apple Music its just so easy but I hear more about Spotify than Apple music I thought about giving it a try

The real game changing thing is the accurate algorithm to discover new music on Spotify.

Team Apple Music 💪

UKposts music for two reason : integration btw YT & YT music; you can add any music from UKposts's account to your Playlists on YT music same account seamlessly; even not official or licensed music. Also the comment section.

You have missed the availability point. Spotify nearly runs on every device with all their feature support but apple music still lacks on that area.

Spotify’s UI changes eventually drove me away to Apple Music and I’m not at all tempted to go back. For all that people praise Spotify’s recommendations algorithm, for me it was trash - a huge disconnect between what I listen to (and Spotify damn well knows what I listen to) and what it kept pushing. I’ve actually gotten consistently more tailored-to-me recommendations from Apple Music. I’m also very much an album listener so I don’t care about playlists.

Personally I prefer the Apple Music but use Spotify since a friend of mine added me to his family subscription. Agree upon design and audio quality but doesn’t worth me $10/month. Spotify has better recommendation algorithm. Hate they don’t have light theme tho.

Actually Apple Music improved a lot. For me the algorithm hit me with the jams I mostly listen to plus the new crossfade feature, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. My headphones and speakers thank me

I use both of them Apple Music audio quality is next level

I use both but yesterday I finally made the choice to delete Apple Music I haven’t used it and every time I do I keep going back to Spotify so I used Spotify now and YTM

Isn’t Spatial Audio just music coming from direction of the phone? I think it’s Dolby atmos that gives u the atmospheric sounds around u

A literal Apple hypnotic comparing AppleMusic with Spotify. Surely I can trust his opinion.

Perhaps I missed it, but with Apple you can upload your own (local) music so that it becomes available everywhere on all devices. Not on Spotify. I switched to Apple a month ago. Because of the playback quality, the upload feature and to a lesser extent my dissatisfaction with the whole podcasts thing (Spotify's investments, one billion or so for Joe Rogan, Neil Young leaving). Apple also integrates nicely with my Sonos, otherwise would be a deal breaker. I agree with some YT channels that Spotify is doomed.

I pay YT Premium and it comes with YT music. I don't wanna pay for another music streaming app. I do understand the bitrate. iPhone 15 Plus user here.

Team UKposts music. I can listen to music and watch videos and songs that was on unreleased or music / videos that was uploaded by a user

I tried both but I liked spotify over apple music, the reason is so simple, one have equalizer, the other not.

While Apple Music does have better quality, from my experience, it has been buggy for me as it says that someone else is using my account to listen to music while no one isn't. Also, for me as a windows user, going from my phone to my computer, Spotify makes it easier to go from one device to another, regardless of what OS you are using or what device. I don't know how the algorithm is with Apple Music since I didn't use it too much, but with Spotify, I was able to discover a lot of different bands and artists through daily mixes or discover weekly. Even for my own band, it's easier for my band to get discovered there than maybe Apple Music or other competitors. Apple Music is better if you own all Apple products while Spotify doesn't matter what you own, it will work well. What sucks though is that there are bands that I listen to, there are songs that are exclusive to Apple Music than Spotify. I don't care much about spatial audio, but I do like the audio quality. But from my experience, I'm sticking with Spotify.

Do the same for the computer apps.

i use apple and i think its the best only thing is i wished apple had the stats like spotify does

Team music, I use both airpods pro & Max, super with Dolby atmos, if I wan`t lossless I go with an external dac and wired headphones super streaming app, and there is no extra cost for lossless or hirez audio👍🏼

Team apple music. Lossless makes the difference.

I would get the bundle if comes with 2tb icloud storage 😢

Apple Music since day 1 Im so immerse into Apple ecosystem but I don't regret at all. I love Apple, loyal customer since 2009

I prefer Apple Music because of Apples ecosystem. Much easier with Apple shortcuts and HomePod automation in the Home app but I miss spotifys algorithm for finding new music. Apple is so centered to pop music so it’s harder to find music in other genres.

Spotify ALL DAY, The Discovery is AMAZING along with the Sound quality and the Prices

Some things I hate about 🍎 music is that there seems to be no way to see how many followers you have or how many likes you have for playlists while Spotify does.

I switched to Spotify for a few months and I really like the ability to hop on a playlist with someone or a group of people if you tap your phones together. Spotify is more of a social / music discovery platform and Apple Music is more album and individualized focused. I like both but I’m switching back to Apple Music because personally I prefer the UI and the visuals. I also think it’s more simple to navigate albums or songs in your library. They both have pros and cons

Spotify seems to be louder than apple music.Anyone know how to fix it?

I’m on Spotify right now, mainly because of my family’s plan and all of my playlists. I love Apple music as well, and I wish Spotify had lossless audio, but since I listen on wireless headphones, the difference is not that noticeable. Both are amazing honestly

both are good

I have both Apple Music and Spotify. I can honestly say Spotify is much more fun to use and their music recommendations are way more spot on than Apple Music. What annoys me the most about Apple Music is their preference for clean versions of songs on their playlists. Even more annoying is the fact that on some playlists some songs are of the explicit versions while others are of the clean versions, with no consistency at all.

I team Spotify, but right now running an Apple Music free trial. I find it easier and better to find new music in the genres that i like on Spotify. I’ve tried on Apple Music and it’s so hard for me and it doesn’t branch out types of music like Spotify does. A classic example is on Spotify it classifies Blink 182 as pop punk and on Apple Music it says alternative. We all know there not alternative. Also, spatial audio is cool but it’s not a deal breaker. Lossless audio is can see being a really big thing, but for now many things we hear music on don’t have it unless you pay for it. I like both and will say Apple Music has come a long way from what it once was.
