Last time I tried apple music, i went to import my saved songs from Spotify along with my local songs. There were about 12000 of each at the time. Somehow I ended up with 40000 songs in my iTunes after it finished loading, and the interface was so slow it was basically unusable.. I will be sticking with Spotify for now.
Spotify became so slow for me that I had to move the other direction.
I've manually handled my library, but I've used Playlisty for whatever playlists I wanted from Spotify.
FYI: Spotify’s Plans to Demonetize Tracks With the Lowest Royalty Payouts Is ‘Discriminatory and Offensive,’ Says Competition Policy Expert https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2023/11/07/spotify-plans-to-demonetize-tracks-discriminatory-offensive/
Time to catch up. Spotify is getting shittier daily.
I only use Spotify for song discovery, and if I find something i really love I'll buy it.
I like the idea of Tidal's plan where they pay your top artists more.. But tidal is god awful at helping me find new music.
Also, i was only talking about functionality, not artist payouts. Apple/iTunes is a functional disaster (at least if you dont own a mac).
