Apple Music has been praised for its wide selection of music, its curated playlists, and its integration with other Apple products. However, it has also been criticized for its high price and its lack of some features that are available on Spotify, such as the ability to listen to music offline.
Overall, Apple Music is a solid streaming service with a lot to offer. If you are an Apple device user, then it is definitely worth considering. However, if you are not an Apple device user, then you may want to consider Spotify or another streaming service.
