I have Tidal and YouTube Music.

Having used both, the only thing Apple is better at is sound quality

 

the User experience is so much better on Spotify

Apple Music is glitchy. Anyone who has understanding of IT know that it was rushed to challenge Spotify and they haven't fixed all of its issues till this day.

 

the only thing that is better on AM is quality.

spotify quality of sound is awful

apple for everything but i feel finding new music is easier through spotify

Apple Music for all

 

the only thing Spotify is better at is the new music tab 

Apple Music for ALL.

 

Firstly, and most importantly, the sound quality is far and beyond any of the others, which is the most important part of listening to music.

 

Second, everyone praising Spotify UI?? AM displays album artwork gorgeously, you can EDIT album artwork and names YOURSELF (removing deluxe/remastered tags and such), and it's just visually cleaner and more stunning than Spotify by far.

 

Third, personally, I don't need to be force fed new recommendations by my streaming service. There are many many different ways to find new music (reading publications, "best of" lists, hell- even the Music section of ATRL), so that has no bearing on me. AMs curated playlists are still good for finding new tracks sometimes too.

 

IMO, there is not one aspect of Spotify or any other streaming service that is better than AM. On top of all that, they pay artists the most too.
