The second feature I feel is the most important is if can I stream my personal collection through the service. It doesn’t really matter overall as I have it on CD anyway so it is in my Apple library. WINNER – I am actually going to give it to Spotify with a slight edge for the layout of an artists page and they had a Def Leppard album that Apple did not (since original post…the entire Def Leppard catalog is now available on both). What I do like about Spotify is that when you search an artist, they break the records out into categories of Studio Albums, Single, Compilations and Live albums. Spotify also has a copy of Slang with commentary that Apple does not. For example, Spotify has Def Leppard’s Viva! Hysteria and Apple Doesn’t. They actually had some albums Apple didn’t have and vice versa. Spotify: Spotify is no different than Apple in this category as they also have over 40,000,000 songs. They don’t have everything, but if you already own it you can still stream that album (I will talk more about that later). I can go from Rolling Stones Greatest Hits or just listen to Sticky Fingers. I enjoy the selection as I never know what will strike my fancy.

It pretty much has anything you could ever imagine.

What artists and songs does each service offer? Are they artist I like? Is the selection enough to satisfy me? Here is what I have found:Īpple Music: Apple Music has over 40,000,000 songs to choose from on its service. There are two features that I think are the most important. First, lets talk about what each service offers and which is the better service for that item. There are definite differences between the two and one edges out the other, but will it change how I listen to music? That is the question. Now, it is time to see how Spotify compares to Apple Music. Spotify is offering 3 months for only $0.99 which I figured for that price, it was worth a try. Now it is time to test that service against Spotify. Apple Music won that battle for as the better overall service. Back a few months ago, I did a comparison of Apple Music vs.
