Spotify also gives listeners the option to listen to local files downloaded to their device, so even if there was a song Spotify didn’t offer, just download it and upload it to Spotify in order to include it on all your favorite playlists. Meaning even if you’re listening to lossless audio on Apple Music and using a cheap pair of earbuds, the Spotify user with the nicer headphones has you beat.Īlthough it’s impossible to deny Apple Music has more music than Spotify, despite the semi-large variety of music I listen to, I have never had trouble finding an artist or song I was searching for. Its lack of popularity stems from the audio quality only being as good as the headphones or speaker it’s playing through. Although lossless audio may seem like a cool and new innovation, lossless technology has been around for years and is offered on an array of listening platforms. However, not all of these perks live up to their expectations. They offer lossless audio, where no data contained in the original music file gets dropped during the process of compressing it for download, which appeals to listeners with a sensitive ear, and Apple Music also recently reached 100 million songs on their platform, beating out Spotify which only has 82 million. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not deaf to the features that may lead someone to choose Apple Music over Spotify. Given that I listen to more music than 99.5% of Spotify users in the United States (a statistic I learned using a wonderful feature exclusive to Spotify), I consider myself an expert on the topic. I myself am a recovered Apple Music user and now blissfully live with Spotify elitism coursing through my veins. If you’re still using Apple Music-grow up.
