Is Apple Music or Spotify the better option?
I like having good audio quality, but Spotify’s algorithm and search system is phenomenal. I like the way
Apple Music looks slightly better.
Which one do you use, and why do you use it? I really want to be able to decide, but it’s pretty difficult.
TLDR; I can’t decide between Spotify and Apple Music,
they both have features I like, but I wanna know what you guys use.

I have used Spotify for about 6 or 7 years now. I love the layout and the playlists, I love the algorithm. Spotify has helped me find so much music I’d never heard before.
however, I recently started listening to Apple Music and using my 6 month free trial. They have a lot of cool features they didn’t used to. For example, Spatial Audio and Lossless mixing. The sound quality is absolutely insane. I’m not sure if it’s the mix of using Apple Music WITH AirPods, because I don’t know if other headphones (like Beats, for example,) would sound different. All I know is Spatial Audio is clean, clear, and literally feels like you’re in the room with the artist.
as someone who loves music, I’m having a hard time. I’ve been loyal to Spotify for so long and they have never let me down.. but the sound quality is a huge selling point for me with Apple Music. I had no idea there was such a difference in sound quality.

When your stereo is better than average, you'll regret hearing someone else's playback (Apple)quality. Even via Airplay2 (WiFi must be stable) you get 16-bit/4.1kHz (lossless) In short, CD quality. If you have a DAC, you will be amazed at what is possible (24-bit/192 kHz) nowadays. Finding something on Apple Music is often tricky. But is the classic App really great. If you are looking for example to a composer, all his works are listed. This list is also divided into albums. I'm not sticking with Apple Music just because it's the cheapest, $109.-- per year but also the collection of classical music is perfect. Oh yes, sometimes only one track can be played from an album, but look at Spotify then you find out that only one track is playable with Spotify.
I use Spotify because of its impressive algorithm for personalized recommendations and user-friendly search system. While Apple Music has a sleek interface, Spotify's content discovery features make it my preferred choice. Ultimately, it depends on your priorities between aesthetics and music discovery capabilities.

Apple Music is high quality. Spotify’s App itself, though, is “Spot”-On. Apple Music App is, very surprisingly, not that intuitive (or as intuitive (for me) as some other competitor’s apps)
Apple Music Or Spotify?
