Amazon Music delivers the largest catalogue of music library among all of the music streaming providers. On the other hand, Apple Music and i. Tunes delivers better music quality in comparison with Amazon Music. That facts and figures would lie among an extraordinarily popular delusion of struggles amongst quality and quantity.
Apple Music has launched both lossless music streaming and spatial audio support, while Amazon has taken the lossless capabilities of its Amazon Music HD tier and added the high-fidelity feature to Amazon Music Unlimited at no extra charge. These music apps are therefore much better deals than from a few weeks ago, but which one is better?
Should you buy Apple Music or Amazon Music?
Obviously, Unlimited isn’t the only option, and Amazon Music’s free tier will naturally be a better fit than Apple’s subscription-only model for those whose budgets are beyond tight. But if you’re facing a choice of which to spend on, Apple Music wins out, especially if you’ve got the hardware to take advantage of spatial audio.
Apple Music beats Amazon Prime Music in this department, and by a long shot too. Apple offers a whopping 50 million songs, while Prime has just two million. This balance is immediately redressed if you sign up with Music Unlimited, however, which also has 50 million tracks on offer.
Like Apple, Amazon Music HD is set to benefit from a similar library-wide audio upgrade, with all tracks available to stream in CD-quality.
Does Amazon Music match with Apple Music?
Amazon Music also includes a matching service in its PC and Mac apps, but the feature isn’t as seamless as Apple’s. Amazon used to offer an equivalent music upload service to Amazon Music Storage subscribers, but as of April 2018 the plans are no longer extendable and the storage service is being retired.
How does Amazon’s streaming service compare to Apple?
Like Apple, Amazon uses the full weight of its subsidiary services and features to elevate its streaming potential—such as offering membership discounts for Amazon Prime Music and Music Unlimited while consolidating its services to work efficiently with its devices.
What is the best alternative to Apple Music?
One of Apple Music’s secret weapons is its i. Cloud Music Library, which lets users sync any downloaded songs across any devices signed in with the same Apple ID. It’s a handy tool to which Amazon Music doesn’t really have an alternative. Like Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited has a 100,000 song limit on downloads.
