As someone who's never used Spotify I guess I don't know what I'm missing out on but I found it interesting all the same to compare them. It's just more economical to have YouTube premium with YouTube music added in for free!

You're telling me, I'm over here with Apple Music when all my friends have Spotify. I stopped using Spotify as they started pushing podcasts to the forefront of their platform (PocketCasts ftw).

I still have YTM due to Premium, but I only really use it for stuff that is only on YouTube.

I'm trialing Apple Music as we speak for that same reason. Spotify was by far the most stable service I used but I'm getting really frustrated by the non-music content they're pushing. I have no problem with podcasts and audio books but there's multiple better apps for both.

So far it's been pretty good, a little more buggy but just about everything I want is there and the quality is good, Win11 client is pretty bad tho ATM.

Try the Cider client instead until they work out the bugs with the official client. I’ve used Cider since switching to Apple Music and it has worked better than the official client by far.

You can find it on the MS store, they recently released a v2 of the app replacing their previous version.
