After studying this streaming service issue some, it seems there's 2 main differences between the two. 1. Apple's $14.99 family (up to 6) deal beats Spotify's 50% off for each additional person. If Spotify wants to remain in the game, they'll have to at least match that. 2. Spotify has a student discount, Apple does not. I don't see Apple going there.

A couple of other big differences: 1) spotify works on multiple platforms. 2) spotify has a very decent ad supported streaming service. I was actually very surprised at how much they allow you to stream with the 'free' service. You can actually listen to an entire album with only a couple of commercial breaks.

Yeah, I have and use the free Spotify service. I'm sticking with it too. I don't want to switch to Family Sharing.

As everyone has different taste in UI, I'm not going to say that one is better than the other. I do see that Apple Music has a leg up with Siri integration.

However, I'm sticking with Spotify for these reasons:

1) I prefer independent companies/services
2) It has cross-platform support (I listen on my Roku a lot)
3) It has browser access (great when at parents or friends house)
4) I really like their regionally curated playlists (maybe Apple has this as well?)
5) Although I live in the US, I have my profile set to Sweden to get a larger library (avoiding US record label restrictions)

I tried this pgrtag but for some reason only letting me listen to a few songs still. 1 of the albums for example is called 'No Limits'

Whomever wrote that never used Apple Music or made difficult on purpose to justify an article.

Open Apple Music
Search Michael Jackson
Click on hamburger Button, choose play all, add to my music, etc.

Looks like you don't have "use cellular data " selected in ITunes settings

Yes, I have "use cellular data " turned off. I do have iTunes Match, if that makes a difference. Hope this helps.

Thought this was kinda funny

So this is 1 album i am looking at in Apple Music. i have cellular data turned on and this is how the album looks both on Wifi and Cellular data.




It is only allowing me to play 2 songs on the entire album which i think is a bit pointless.

Sprint does for now.

Love Spotify for streaming but having it integrated with my library in the music app is so much better.

Do you have iCloud Music Library and iTunes Match turned on? I have both. With cellular off and using cellular the songs that aren't physically on my phone are grayed out. With Cellular off using wifi, all the songs are available.
