Spotify also has features to let multiple users collaborate on a playlist.Īpple Music does collect what friends are listening to in a "Friends Mix," but it is an algorithmic playlist, not a real-time feed. While Apple Music allows users to find friends on the service, you can't see what they're listening to in real-time, as Spotify allows users to do on the desktop. Spotify has a better algorithmic playlist feature than Apple, and it often picks up when users finish an album or song, so there isn't silence when a record finishes.Īpple Music also lacks many of the social features of Spotify. Apple Music lacks that, and offers only a list of top songs from each artist - so it's much harder to figure out whether that song from Adele or YoungBoy NBA was a bigger hit. Spotify also includes stream counts for most songs that help users compare hits from artist to artist. If you unsubscribe from Spotify Premium, you'll lose the ability to listen to "The Joe Rogan Experience" in addition to other podcasts exclusive to the service, which include shows featuring Bill Simmons and Michelle Obama, and stories from Gimlet Media. Both boast a catalog over 70 million songs. For the most part, artists on Spotify are also on Apple Music.
One thing you probably won't give up is your favorite artists - Neil Young and Joni Mitchell notwithstanding. The main alternative to Spotify is Apple Music, which costs $9.99 per month and had 60 million paying subscribers in 2019, the last time Apple officially announced Apple Music subscriptions.
This means that Joni Mitchell or Neil Young fans - or people who agree with their stance on Joe Rogan's podcast - have a choice to make: Stick with Spotify or find a new streaming music service?
CEO Daniel Ek wrote over the weekend that "it is important to me that we don't take on the position of being content censor while also making sure that there are rules in place and consequences for those who violate them." Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives," Mitchell wrote on her website. "I've decided to remove all my music from Spotify.
