Apple and Spotify are in discussions to let iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users access Spotify music using Siri voice commands, according to a report from The Information (paywall).
The conversations come amid a growing regulatory battle between the two companies.
If an agreement comes on Siri, the companies could continue to battle on Spotify’s other complaints (EU antitrust accusation), including Apple’s 15-30% commission on app subscriptions.
MacDailyNews Take: Some agreement is better than none, but you’d have to be stupid to subscribe to Spotify when it has 40% fewer tracks than Apple Music for the same price.
Apple Music boasts a catalog of 50 million songs; Spotify has just 30 million.
If you’re still subscribing to Spotify, it’s well past time for you to cancel it and upgrade to Apple Music. (See also: How to move your Spotify playlists to Apple Music.)
Spotify has a much nicer interface than Apple Music. I happen to use Apple Music but my son uses Spotify it is very nice and much more user-friendly
I enjoy the half price Spotify that my student discount provides (with Hulu and showtime). Once that’s done, I may move to Apple, but as Rob mentioned, I like the UI better on Spotify specifically the Made For You daily playlists.
