Is there any reason for me to keep Spotify?

[George K]

I rarely use it, and Apple Music has pretty much the same catalog - certainly in the genres that I'm interested in.

Is there really a difference that is worth $120 a year?

Put another way, am I willing to pay $120 for something I can't find on Apple music which I'll listen to once or twice?

Gut says "ditch it."

@George-K ditch it and Apple Music for idagio.

[George K]

@jon-nyc yeah, I can go "free" Spotify - it includes ads, limits the number of "skips" per hour.

Idagio sounds great - but it's strictly classical, right?

Not for me. Not even close.

Details, please?

I assume I can still access the different tracks in the free version, right? I'm losing convenience features more than anything else (and putting up with ads, of course).

[jon-nyc]

@George-K It is but it’s so good.

How often do you listen to non-classical? Maybe use free version of Spotify for that and spend your money on the good stuff

I just use the free Spotify, and don't find the ads that intrusive.

With a ton of stuff I listen to, paid Spotify has nearly a full discography, but Apple Music has a few token albums. And, those albums change on you without notice. Apple Music is more like the radio in my experience.

Idagio is amazing for their breadth. I discover new recordings daily.

The other day I type in Chopin’s Bm Sonata. I get this page, listing their 193 recordings. But look! Pogorolich just released it this year. Damn good recording too, like the young pogo is back.

I never would have found that without Idagio, and it happens to me daily.

It’s Aqua… It probably has to do with Apple’s shortage of Aboriginal Throat Singing Techno Remixes…

Aboriginal folks don't necessarily go in for the throat singing. But they like a dope house beat about as much as the next guy.

You are only relating aboriginal to Australia? You are an Aboriginalist! What about the North American Aboriginal People?

They don't play no didge.
