What Do You Know About Apple Music?

Beats 1 which is home to many top-tier artists that use their respective radio shows to demo and tease new music and collaborations, is the highlight of Apple Music. You always hear their new music for the first time at Apple Music, not Spotify or Tidal. Sound quality is usually better than Spotify’s, thanks to Apple Music using a 256kbps AAC bitrate, compared to the max 320kbps Ogg Vorbis bitrate used by Spotify. Apple Music’s pricing is similar to Spotify and other services: $9.99 monthly or $14.99 for a family plan (up to six users), with student discounts varying by country.
