Spotify vs Apple Music

If I’m watching YouTube on my desktop, the adblock plugins in my browser seem to strip out the adverts.

Which means when I watch YouTube on my proper telly using a Fire stick, I find the adverts really stick out annoyingly :sweat_smile:

It’s not so bad if it’s one you can skip after five sex, but sometimes you’re can’t and are forced to watch the whole thing :neutral_face:

Ooh I do have an adblocker on my browser, didn’t think of that!

Perhaps this is about to change.

Is this something new? I’ve had a “Replay 2022” in my Apple Music app for a while now (along with Replay 20xx for each previous year).

7 of my top 10 are Bastille.

2 for Taylor Swift :smiley:

YouTube Music are at it too.

YouTube Music have been doing recaps for a good while now.

They’ve been doing a recap each season this year, but my yearly recap just arrived, if you don’t see it go back some minutes later and it may get generated like it did for me.

Looks really nice.

Was a little bit “fail” when at the end I clicked on “listen to your playlist in Apple Music” and it threw an error up saying the content wasn’t authorised in your country, though…

I’m getting my money’s worth from my sub.

I love Taylor Swift, but that is next level.

Assuming you sleep for 8 hours a day, that means of the 960 mins a day you’re awake, you have TaySway playing for 597 of them.

The lack of All Too Well from your most listened to is upsetting though.

My girls go to bed to 1989 every single night for ten plus hours.

My choice would be Evermore.

I can’t really say anything about Apple Music as I’ve not tried it, but I use Spotify and I quite like Spotify :smiley:

Never would I ever. :joy:

I’ve just noticed that Apple Music Replay now updates weekly. So you can see your most played so far this year.

It’s right at the bottom of the app. Updates every Sunday, I think.

I noticed this last week, I dread to open it, whole family uses my Apple Music on HomePod so there is a wide range of music on it.

This is part of the reason I’m on Apple Music and the rest are on Spotify

Interesting that it appears to be for existing Apple Music subscribers rather than a separate service.

I’m a classical music fan nowadays and listen more than any other genre. Maybe it’s something that happens as you get older - I was a night club DJ in my twenties!

See… I’m a bit upset that the Homepod natively use Apple Music and you can’t change it but I suppose that how they get ya, I would never move from Spotify to AM but now that I’ve had to, I’ve caught myself using it more and more.

I tend to agree. They (stories) work quite well on Insta, but less so anywhere else I feel.
