Device connect: this feature turns your device as a remote control.

Here are probably the most exclusive features that could be considered as primary reasons to subscribe for each service, apart from UX which is partly varied among users.

Being hailed as the biggest radio station in the world, Beats 1 also released exclusive episodes such as “OVO Sound Radio” featuring Drake with his new album “More Life” on March 2017.

RadioĪpple Music is perhaps superior to its competitor with Beats 1-a 24/7 music radio station including mix of pop, rap and indie music. I personally saw both works equally amazingly well. The Swedish firm just acquired Niland-a startup offers music recommendation in May 2017. Spotify even navigated to incorporate AI into its system. Both uses advanced algorithm to deliver automated music suggestions for listeners in the form of Weekly Playlists. You can find personally tailored music in “Discover” in Spotify or “For You” in Apple Music. While Spotify allows premium customers to stream online unlimitedly, it only lets customers to sync content to offline playlists to maximum 3 devices with 3,333 tracks on each device, Apple Music sets the limit up to 10 devices without a certain limit on the amount of downloaded songs. Wanna get access to your music library in different devices? Both Spotify and Apple Music are able to synchronize your music almost instantly and flawlessly. However, the price is obviously more expensive. If you prefer superior audio quality, there are number of options out there such as vinyl or lossless streaming from Tidal. Therefore, I would say if you want to listen to music while you traveling to work, working out at the gym or chilling at home, both of these will definitely meet all of your needs. I have listened to both Spotify and Apple Music daily through a wide range of earbuds (Apple EarPods, Beats X, Sennheiser CX 3.0), headphones (Beats Solo 2, Sony MDR) and some middle-range-price speakers from Bose & Logitech but I could not find any major differences in sound quality. However, as the focus of this Blog is not entirely about UX, I will stop here and give my personal preference: Spotify’s user experience is more appealing and functional than Apple Music. There are even more confused experiences when going to sub-menus like For You or Browse in Apple Music.
