He came Apple and there was a fight for users, this is how the situation that has recently arisen around streaming services can be characterized. Apple is an incredibly powerful company that not only has over $160 billion in cash, but in case Apple Music It has the main thing, registration from half a billion users who entered their credit card.
It's no wonder, then, that just today Spotifyp has a press release announcing that it has 75 million active users and 20 million subscribers worldwide. During the year, Spotify doubled the number of subscribers, and in total, artists, songwriters and rights holders have already received 3 billion US dollars from the service.
Apple Music However, it is not only competing with Spotify, Pandora is also in the game, Google Play Music and of course Tidal. Spotify offers 30 million songs and has the aforementioned 75 million users. Pandora has 15 million songs listened to by 80 million users, and Tidal, which offers 25 million songs in high quality, has 770 users. Google Play Music with 30 million songs, it does not provide user numbers. Interestingly, Apple offers the same subscription price as other players in the market, but offers 37 million songs, which is unmatched by anyone else in the market. Prices apply only in the USA, some services are cheaper in the Czech Republic/SR!

37 million? So why does CNET say Spotify has more?
May I ask what did you base your price comparison on? Recently someone here gave a list of how much each service costs and they were all cheaper than Apple music and google music was more than half the price Apple music
I have DEEZER Premium Plus from Telekom absolutely free for 2 years. I am a fact Apple positive, but the circus they performed at WWDC they could forgive each other. It is nothing new or in any way interesting compared to the competition.
iTunes was an innovation
Apple Music is just another streaming platform on the market.
DEEZER states that it has 35 million songs.
Spotify costs 10US over apple, directly costs less, so the headline is not true. There is nothing yet that would make me switch. Plus I have spotify integrated into my bmw so s apple music at least it wouldn't work for me then
oh and the pop up microsoft cube or something is pretty annoying
No one knows exactly how many songs each service should have, Deezer should also have around 35M, the problem is that some services also have regional restrictions, so you won't be able to listen to those songs anyway.
