You got a pretty great taste in music.
bias android fan girls lmao
Had a paid version of Google Play Music but got tired of it after awhile. Curated music stations don’t change often enough or at all. Even after erasing the content and reloading new music, it’s just the same music in different order. Also some of the music in a curated music station are not exactly under the correct genre. Theres also WAY too many strange music genres that DO NOT make any sense at all. As an example under “Dance & Electronic” there are 118 stations! One of them is “Lip Locked in the Dance Floor” another station is “The World of Pretty Lights”. What the hell is that?!!! Simpler is much better, I like and prefer Spotify now. I do miss YouTube Red but the music stations made me crazy.
I see streetlight manifesto! Instant respect.
Spotify doesn’t have any Jay‑Z songs!! deal breaker right there. And Spotify only lets you download upto 2000 songs for offline listening. whereas Apple music allows you UNLIMITED offline downloads. u should have mentioned that rather than promoting biased bs
Well you didnt tell which one finally is the best ? thats why i gave thumbs down! but u said, its personal taste and we cant go wrong either way
I saw that subtle shoutout to Brenda Fassie in this video
Apple Music did get an overhaul. Now it launches with the library and all it takes is a swipe down to access music. The back button is used less.
I use google play but it really isn’t the best. Needs a design update, has weird errors, and is a little frustrating. Youtube Red is the one perk that makes me hesitant to leave.
I had Spotify for 5 years. Apple Music has progressed so quickly in the recent months that I switched over to them about a month ago. Never going back to Spotify! I love Apple Music, their playlists, and social aspect! It is fantastic.
Spotify for Xbox and Playstation. Google Play music for everything else.

Google Music doesn’t even have an EQ. 😣
Audio quality????
GPM aka Youtube+ is the best
Do any of these companies allow you to download songs to an sd card?

It’s 2019 so I guess I’ll give a short opinion of what I think is better .. I’ve been a google play user for a long time and loved the selection of songs I had, BUT as of 2019 for whatever reason they just keep losing artist or whatever.
If you switched from Spotify, because GP had more music selection I suggest searching all the artist you like on all the apps before making a commitment. I had to move to iTunes as of 2 days ago
Out of the 3, Google Play is the only one that offers music purchases directly in the app.
Everyone knoes deep down That songs pk Mp3 music was the best😂
Ok, so Google Play Music is weaker than the others out there, but stands on 1 leg which it promotes.. being able to upload your OWN music into your library to access/stream from anywhere…
Turns out, it’s bogus, and Google still pushes on that one unique feature, even though they do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING possible to prevent you from using it..
Bottom Line: DON’T get Google Home, or subscribe to Google Play Music, if “music” is of any priority to you.
Here are the details if you are still interested:
Google Play Music is the music streaming service by Google, but much weaker than it’s counterparts by Amazon, Spotify, Apple… Etc charging the same or more than the others with a much smaller music library.. However, they only managed to get by thus far because of their publicized option to let you upload your own music and stream it from anywhere…
Only problem is, they basically changed their algorithms so your Google assistant will not find those uploaded songs with almost ANY key phrases or search criteria (sometimes not at all) and 90% of the time will just tell you you need a subscription to choose artist/song and will ONLY fetch songs from the Google Play Music library.. Even when you use the recommended phrases like “from my library”… etc.
Now, to make things worse, they even removed the ability to upload and/or import your own playlist (from local drive, windows, media player, iTunes, Spotify… Etc) and basically made it so it just automatically downloads the music files as a BULK all as individual tracks without folders, playlist or even file names.. Just track name, artist name, album and year from meta data on the files, and without even the ability to sort through them or seek them in any way, to prevent you from even making your own playlists with any kind of reasonable ease (as in, you need to go literally track by track and can’t even search the files, since they don’t show up on search and instead just suggest radio stations and subscription content instead)..
Even the Music Manager software that USED TO have the option to import playlists, they removed all those options and just left the bulk upload feature (but apparently forgot to change the support files which still show the original option to import playlists)
Now, to add to ALL this… Google also make sure you can’t post negative reviews about their Google Home and Google Nest products (like Amazon’s Echo Dot…etc) EVEN when you buy it from their own Google store… you SEE that there are reviews, but there is NO WAY on the whole site to actually post a new review (I spent 2 days looking)… and of course you can’t on any of the tech sites they pay to review them either… and amazon will only let you review it if you purchased it FORM THEM.. which nobody will, since they conveniently sell it at at least $10 more than anywhere else, since it’s a direct competitor to their Echo smart speaker range.
Oh and get this… their customer support doesn’t actually know you can’t… because you used to be able to… so they keep searching for it until they finally ask someone come back after being instructed to say “Sorry, Google Play Music doesn’t have that capability” and sometimes they will mess up and add “anymore”
Thank you for selling out, Google.
Oh btw, forgot to mention… the Google Home and Google Play Music forums are FULL of people giving them shit about it, and not one single reply from anyone from Google, apart from a couple of bots replying with random generic replies that have nothing to do with people’s posts… good job Google
Why I prefer google play music: Google assistant compatibility with playlists, it works with a youtube premium membership, youtube premium allows video downloads and music download for free!
Worth mentioning that Apple Music on Android gives a very unpleasant experience.
Too plagued with bugs and apple isn’t interested in sorting that out. You can check out the reviews
on the Play Store. It’s really crap for a premium app. I’ve been using Spotify for the last 3 months and don’t
recall myself having any WTF moments.
I’m sure vorbis 500 kbps is better than aac 500kbps (440kbps max).… Opus 500kbps is worse than vorbis.
vorbis 500kbps is comparable to flac
vorbis is better than aac!
I don’t understand why you (spotify) insist on using aac 256kbps and you sell it for around 320kbps
