Yes, you read that right. I too, as many of you in this sub, has a lot to say about stuff that I don’t like about Spotify.
But sometimes, you just need to take a step back and see that it is a pretty awesome app.
I’ve tried Apple Music several times but I’ve always come back to Spotify.
Here’s a few things Spotify does that I enjoy, that AM for an example doesn’t do:
Private Session - I love this one. If my kids wants to listen to something I just turn this on right away.
Advanced search - for an example label search (label:”label”)
User playlists - yes, you can search for user playlists on Apple Music. But it will show you 5-10 of them
Artists playlists - sometimes an artist has made a playlist with songs that inspired them on their latest album for an example. Love this!
Events - even though many events are missing (the only reason I keep Facebook), it’s a good way to find out about some of them
Spotify Connect - this is a feature hard to beat.
API - the way you can connect so many apps and sites and make your hunt for music easier is ridiculously good
Preview - I’m an avid album listener and I hate to stop in the middle of my listening to check out an artist, album or song I just read about. Using the preview lets me preview a song and then let me jump back to the song I was listening to before.
So, there’s a lot of things I’d like to see, and stuff I want Spotify to fix. But, there’s a lot of stuff that’s really awesome as well.
Sorry for the long post. Also, there’s no appreciation flair…
