Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why?
Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.
-
for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that's based on "continue playing" from current playlist.
-
for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.
in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great
- Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
- Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me
What are your thoughts?
You're viewing a single thread.
Spotify just because I've been using it almost since it came out and especially because Apple Music is absolute chaos for scrobbling to last.fm
last.fm! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
There are dozens of us still using it! I don't quite get how they haven't shut down yet but I'm not complaining, I get to have a music listening history database across streaming platforms and mediums, just for that feature I find it so incredibly useful.
Maybe I should dust off my account.
Same with ListenBrainz. I actually coded a manual scrobbling plugin for MusicBrainz Picard to handle things like this. Should get that through to the MusicBrainz guys.
For last.fm there are apps on Mac that do the job, on Windows with the AM Preview I found AMWin-RP which is mainly a Discord rich presence handler but also does last.fm too.
