The popular app Spotify is a Swedish audio streaming platform which provides music and podcasts from record labels and media companies. This platform currently has tens of millions more paying subscribers than Apple Music, according to Spotify’s statics, not including the millions of non paying users. Spotify also has a 30 million-plus song catalog and it adds more than 20,000 new songs each day. With the surplus of music available, it might seem intimidating when deciding what to listen to. However, Spotify offers devices that help with finding new songs personalized to the user’s taste. The tool called Discover Weekly provides the user with a playlist filled with new music they would typically enjoy. All these features are available to non paying users, unlike Apple Music where its similarly acting feature comes with a price. Spotify Premium is an option for consumers which eliminates advertisements, allows offline download and more, but it costs $10 a month. Spotify also allows the ability to create, share and follow playlists of any genre. It’s satisfying black background and green accents is paired with album covers and playlist artwork to stand out against it’s the dark and minimal background. The platform is easily accessible and allows a simple playlist management, making it overall superior to Apple Music.
