Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why? (programming.dev)

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?

The Discover Weekly playlist is far from perfect – it would often give me the same songs again and again or multiple covers of single song. But still, good enough for everyday use. And I like for alternative/indie/niche music too, so Spotify Discover Weekly is much better than most audio stations or existing playlists.

Yeah, it's definitely not perfect, but years of crafting my existing playlists has led to a pretty solid foundation for discovery to work with. I'll get something I've heard before maybe once a month these days, but this is after basically 7 years of listening almost weekly.
