The search icon has been moved to the bottom for easier access. Listen Now (earlier For You) tab is where Apple’s excellent human editorial team will recommend music and playlists. Scroll a little to find the Recently Added collection. First one is Library where you can access songs by playlists, artists, albums, or downloaded music. UI and AccessibilityĪpple Music has a neat UI with 5 tabs at the bottom. After that, you can weigh your options and choose the best one. So I shall highlight the salient features of all three music services for you. It’s apparent that you are confused as to which music streaming service you should use. It’s soon for them to show their numbers, especially when the competition has a head start. Google Play Music had about 7 million subscribers in 2018. A report from last year puts YouTube Music at 20 million subscribers. Apple Music is not too far behind with 60 million subscribers and over 70 million songs but the data is old from 2019. Spotify has over 70 million songs with 155 million paying subscribers.

For now, you have three behemoths providing you a vast and ever-growing library of music. Google has officially retired Play Music service which makes sense seeing there is no need for two separate music streaming apps. To make things interesting, Google decided to throw an ad-free YouTube experience for just $2 more. So Google decided to try its luck with a new music streaming service called YouTube Music. Premium subscription services like Spotify and Apple Music are vying for music lovers’ attention.
