The app is easy to navigate (although there are sub-sections everywhere), and it looks appealing thanks to the prominent album artwork. Expect clean typography and graphics along with a simple, uncluttered and enjoyable layout. Since 2016, however, it's a different story. Ease of useĪpple Music initially launched in June 2015 with a visual-heavy, cramped interface very much at odds with the clean, simple interfaces seen on rivals such as Deezer, Spotify and Tidal. We’re in the former camp.Īpple Music is available on all Apple devices – it replaced the old Music app on iPhones and iPads and is integrated on Mac laptops – and is also available to download on Android devices. There’s no hi-fi tier price hike as there is with Tidal, and no free version as there is with Spotify (or Tidal, provided you're lucky enough to live in the US) – it's either brilliantly simple or a little restricted, depending on your point of view.
BEST MUSIC STREAM PLAYER 2015 FULL
you can't use the app, download songs, see the fun Lyrics View or access Apple's full Lossless audio and Dolby Atmos catalogue. Other deals include a student subscription of £5 ($5, AU$6) per month, a family membership that can be shared between six people for £15 ($15, AU$18) per month and the newest Voice Plan, which offers £5 ($5, AU$6) per month streaming if you only use Siri to verbally request songs – ie. Alternatively, you can pay an annual fee of £99 ($99, AU$119). The monthly subscription is £10 ($10, AU$10), which is the same as Spotify Premium and Tidal HiFi – but cheaper than Tidal's top HiFi Plus tier (which will set you back £20 a month).
BEST MUSIC STREAM PLAYER 2015 320KBPS
It certainly beats Spotify’s current 320kbps cap on streaming resolution… Also, certain tracks are getting Dolby Atmos support and the Cupertino giant’s own standard (or head-tracking enhanced) Spatial Audio treatment too.
And now, all of Apple Music's 90-million-strong music catalogue is available in CD resolution or better encoded in the ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) format. With the standard membership, you can download 100,000 songs to listen to offline, too. Apple Music mixes your personal music library with an enormous catalogue of over 90 million songs – a mix of old and new tracks on par with Spotify’s extensive catalogue – along with Apple Music’s three live radio stations plus TV shows, films, music videos and over 30,000 expertly curated playlists.
