Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.

for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that's based on "continue playing" from current playlist.
for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.

in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great

Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me

What are your thoughts?

My partner and I may be the only people on earth using Tidal, but I love it!

The main benefit is that it pays artists like double what the next highest per-stream rate is (I think that’s Apple Music).

The Tidal app is basically Spotify but without podcasts shoved in your eyes. It has personal mixes, daily discovery, new music you might enjoy, etc. All that useful discovery stuff.
