Been a spotify member because it came with my data plan but I no longer use mobile broad so im off the hook.
As far as I can read the two music streaming services Spotify and Apple music contain about the same amount of albums and price is the same so I ask if anyone can give me reasons to change from spotify to apple music when you own the entire apple ecosystem (watch, phone, ipad, mac, apple tv, airplay speakers)

is there anything the apple service can do that spotify can not. ex. better apple watch integration? dont think there a spotify app on apple tv? since you use phone anyway (cant really remember since its been a while since i had space to setup tv)

Sound quality is of great importance im not sure if spotify premium is 320or 256kb and read somewhere that apple service is 256? spotify will soon sell cd quality subscription is there similar on apple music? (hd650 is without mercy)

Long story short.. is there any reason to change if you own apple eco system?

ohh.. about the music ... is it the same? or is apple music large part of christian rock and celine dion?

spotify has this super discover weekly service and great playlists and in some way easy navigation on all devices ...is apple music the same ...better ? worse? also music top lists from own country and so on ... I asume the same on apple service?

I chose apple music over spotify only because of Siri support, and better integration with my car audio system display.

I am opposite, Spotify all over. I hate Music app interface, family plan is dependent on Apple Family sharing feature. Spotify is not. And Spotify is European company after all, so not bad to support some competition.
