Apple Music vs Spotify

I will use apple music rather than spotify if I can transfer my spotify playlists over, they are too large to do manually, will this be possible? If not, why would I want to build up offline saved music to my mobile of 1000s of songs again when spotify does the same thing already?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

I guess you are right. I am using a Mac. I dropped PC after 2009 (started using PC in 1985), no looking back.

I know quite a number of people using Mac mini as their Media hub.


They did iTunes for Windows sometime in the past for iPod syncing.

It was simpler then before they started to add iPhone/iPad/App Store/...

But then it is easier to sync with one program for backups, music, audiobooks, books, apps, etc...

Thanks, I prefer to buy music than stream.

I do stream from my iTunes Library to my iPhone (I have a huge library and I only sync a few tracks for offline listening to my iPhone) the rest is stream over.

 Music is free for 3 months so I give it a go, have no intention at the moment for a paid subscription.

Spotify is also free if you don't mind listening to adverts, I do mind and also want to sync offline, so I pay the extra £10. I have 15GB of music on my iPhone stored for offline use, quite often I will find myself with no reception, so it is useful to have all my music in one place. 15GB of music would also cost me a **** of a lot of money, that's just over 1000 songs on my iPhone!


I still haven't managed to get my playlist created in iTunes to sync over to my phone... if I didn't laugh I'd cry!
