The playlists on the other hand were way too short for my liking ( 10-12 songs on average).Ģ. While they were all songs I knew and appreciated, what I wanted was something new. None of the song selected actually surprised me. Once I'd successfully completed the infamous bubble phase, the songs and playlists Apple Music chose on my behalf we're quite honestly (and for lack of a better word) meh. What real annoyed me about Apple Music however was the following:ġ. I had to refresh the "More Artists" button twice before it suggested Vampire Weekend and five times before it even suggested The Black Keys. Based on the genres I selected ( Indie, Rock, Electronic, R&B and Dance) Apple Music took a while to generate artists I actually like. This is also where things started to get complicated. That way, Apple Music can curate selections for based on your likes. Īfter creating an account, Apple Music took me through its really neat bubble phase in which you pick your favorite genres and artists. With all the hype surrounding the battle royale between Apple Music and Spotify, it seemed like the perfect time to test them out.įirst, I tackled Apple Music. And today it seems like the options are limitless. So last night, after a hard day's work, I finally decided to look into my options. Why? Because I'm sick of using up all of my data to listen to music and I'd like to have the option of having it available offline - you know for those long subway rides and all. With that being said, I'm seriously considering signing up to a premium music subscription. Of course I'm familiar with today's more popular streaming services ( Spotify, Pandora, 8tracks etc.) but like many people, I've never actively subscribed to any them. The way I currently stream music is almost exclusively via Soundcloud. Above all, I love discovering and rocking out to new music. I like to think of myself as the ultimate gig-goer and music lover.
