Part 1: Apple Music Pros & Cons

Apple Music Pros & Cons

First launched in June 2015, Apple Music provides all of the on-demand music you’ll ever need. Apple Music has three plans: a regular $9.99-a-month plan, a $14.99-a-month Family plan and a $4.99-a-month student plan. Instead of offering a free tier, Apple Music offers a three-month free trial, while Verizon Wireless customers can claim six months for free.

Pros: Apple Music has a library of 45 million songs. It is available across all of Apple's key products, including iOS devices, Apple TV and Apple Watch. And, it’s also available through iTunes on Mac/PC and Android devices. Of course, you can stream Apple Music through CarPlay and Sonos systems as well as Amazon Echo products. In addition, you can listen to the Beats 1 radio and the latest songs and album from Taylor Swift. Human curators have created a variety of theme playlists to help users find and discover new music that distinguishes services from others who rely on algorithmic recommendations.

Apple Music often offers new music from popular early versions of popular artists such as Drake. The service works seamlessly with HomePod, Apple’s connected speaker, allowing users to play music with voice commands. Recently, it has also updated a feature that allows you to search for songs using lyrics, which is useful if you can remember words instead of titles.

Cons: The desktop experience integrated with the iTunes app is a bit clunky. If you have a Google Home smart speaker, you won't be able to listen to Apple Music directly from your speakers, but you can set up Apple Music on your smartphone and stream it to Google Home speakers via Bluetooth.
