I tried switching to Apple Music because they threw me a good deal and god it was awful compared to Spotify. No way to manage a queue for some reason on the mobile app, you can only play a song next or stop the current song. iTunes on windows is fucking traaaaash I cannot believe they ship it and call it acceptable. Every search and navigation action takes many seconds, and you have to do a lot of navigation. I have symmetrical gigabit internet. Maybe it's better on MacOS, but that's not the desktop I use for music listening.
Spotify has their client completely, perfectly nailed. It is fast and works about the same everywhere. Period? That's it, it's not like the bar is even that high lol. I tried Tidal a few months back as well and it just wasn't ready yet.
Edit: So I've been told Apple Music does have a queue management UI, my bad, will leave my false rant out of shame. There is also a preview build of an iTunes replacement. I wanted to like Apple Music because it costs the same as Spotify and at least offers lossless playback on some tracks (I like to think I can tell the difference in my studio setup). And they don't give Joe Rogan a bunch of money, not keen on that guy. I'll revisit it in a year :)
