I have took a six month EE free trial of Apple Music but I was wondering which provider was the best? I know it's between Apple.spotify and Amazon.

I pay for amazon prime so I know I can get their streaming for £8 a month where as Apple or Spotify will cost me £10 a month.

Is any of them better or is it simply go for the cheaper option?

Had that offer but couldn't be bothered as I paid quid for 3 month deezer

I use Spotify (£10 a month) with a Sonos 5. Ideal.

Have used Amazon and Spotify to stream via CarPlay (pioneer F80DAB) Find the audio quality of both somewhat poor by my standards. Spotify worse so with variable/inconsistent volume levelling between tracks even with normalisation enabled. Amazon is a bit annoying in that as a Prime member Id expect a higher bandwidth on downloaded/purchased tracks; Spotify premium is supposed offer higher quality. Especially noticeable if you stream free HD content on YouTube and find that sounds better.


Yet to try Deezer, got the app so will give it a shot one day. Have been told Tidal is the one to try for quality (but not cheap and limited selection).

I use Spotify. Does everything I want. Haven't tried anything else yet as there's plenty of choice on it.

The music quality from Apple seems on par with the mp3s that are on my phone. Thats listening thru my wireless Platronics headphones, I have yet to try it on my Beats Studio as that will be the test.

I listened to my MP3's on my Beats studio then on Apple Music and Spotify and I think it sounded better on Apple. Spotify still sounded great and I had my missus and my daughter make a decision and we were alll in agreement.
