“Apple Music launches a Discovery Station to help you find new songs” (www.theverge.com)

“The new station will play a curated selection of songs based on what you’ve been listening to but haven’t heard before.”

Looks interesting. To me, Apple’s curated playlists have always been superior in quality to Spotify’s but they really don’t have as vas of a selection of curated playlists. Apple Music stations are often excellent, too, if you know how to crate them.

That’s interesting. I had Spotify for a couple years and absolutely hated it. Moving to Apple Music was a much more enjoyable experience for me.

I tried to like Apple Music but the compatibility Spotify has with all my various speakers around the house is in a whole other league compared to Apple Music. If all I had were apple speakers, I’d probably use it.

Ahhh, that makes sense. My google home and Alexa’s integrate with Apple Music so when I need to listen on one of those I can. But that’s rarely how I listen. I’m either in AirPods or using my desktop monitors. I feel like for my use cases Apple Music seems to have better sound quality.

I found much better playlists on Spotify and you could make shared lists with friends. Those were the two biggest things I is.

They’re actually adding shared playlists in iOS 17.1 (finally). As for playlists, I think it’s just up to your own preference

[–] troxy 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I’m not a playlist guy at all. All my friends tell me I’m lame and that it’s like a better version of the mixtape but to me a playlist has never been analogous to the mixtape or burned CD. With those formats you had quantifiable time limits so you had to be very selective about what went on them.

I’m an album purist at heart, I understand I’m in the massive minority but it is just who I am.

I personally like to switch music services every year or two when things start to feel stale

[–] troxy 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t argue with that. I used to do similar. I just found after moving to Apple Music from Amazon and Spotify that I haven’t wanted to leave. I’m not constantly bombarded with podcasts when I’m trying to listen to music (looking at you Spotify) and that’s been a big UX improvement for me. I might try Tidal again at some point but when I tried it initially it was a bit clunky.
