◎   Music Discovery

After logging in Spotify on the computer, you can search or browse the music you want to listen to immediately.

This difference can be subtle because many people may want to enjoy the pleasure of searching for music, while others only need to find the music they like immediately.

◎   Streaming Quality and Codecs

After discovering the music, you can play the song or the whole album with ease. On this aspect, Spotify and Apple Music both do well. Spotify conducts the highest codec standard of 320K OGG format. However, Apple Music adopts AAC codecs to stream 256K audio, which compresses the files into smaller sizes while streaming in high-quality. If you subscribe to Spotify Premium, you can enable High Quality Streaming on your client with 320 Kbps for music, while Apple Music keeps 256 Kbps.

In Spotify, users can enable the Offline Playback if they get the premium version.

Note that when the subscription is done, the songs belonged to the streaming service will disappear from your playlists and music library.

◎   Lyrics Support

There is no inbuilt lyric support on Spotify whereas Apple Music is available for lyric demonstration after updating to iOS13.
