I like Apple Music because it integrates well with the Apple line.
More importantly though it is one of the highest paying per stream to artists [1]. Streaming needs to be much more lucrative for artists and consumer choice helps that.
It is nice to be able to buy the music as well if you want to support. Being part of Apple One is huge as well.
The latest music streaming royalty rates are as follows.
PLATFORM ROYALTY (PER STREAM) STREAMS TO MAKE $1
Tidal Music $0.01284 78
Apple Music $0.008 125
Amazon Music $0.00402 249
Spotify $0.00318 314
YouTube Music $0.002 500
Pandora $0.00133 752
Deezer $0.0011 909
I have lots of mp3/stored music as well and Spotify client started taking like 20-30 minutes to start up. Wasn't sure what it was doing...
Some of their patents for tracking are a bit dystopian as well.

Nah. Apple already has my info and reasonably treats it well eventhough it is too much, I don't need another service to invade privacy.
