Increased strength would help with all of the above…

Yeah, I’m not a playlist guy at all. All my friends tell me I’m lame and that it’s like a better version of the mixtape but to me a playlist has never been analogous to the mixtape or burned CD. With those formats you had quantifiable time limits so you had to be very selective about what went on them.

I’m an album purist at heart, I understand I’m in the massive minority but it is just who I am.

Can’t argue with that. I used to do similar. I just found after moving to Apple Music from Amazon and Spotify that I haven’t wanted to leave. I’m not constantly bombarded with podcasts when I’m trying to listen to music (looking at you Spotify) and that’s been a big UX improvement for me. I might try Tidal again at some point but when I tried it initially it was a bit clunky.

Ahhh, that makes sense. My google home and Alexa’s integrate with Apple Music so when I need to listen on one of those I can. But that’s rarely how I listen. I’m either in AirPods or using my desktop monitors. I feel like for my use cases Apple Music seems to have better sound quality.

That’s interesting. I had Spotify for a couple years and absolutely hated it. Moving to Apple Music was a much more enjoyable experience for me.

11 years. Just got my notification that my account data is ready for downloading. When I get time, the next step is to replace all my comments and then delete them prior to deleting my account. No plans to return.
