Despite Spotify's vastly superior user interface and a much quicker Android app, I've found myself switching to Apple music for the singular reason that their curated playlists are much, much better than Spotify's.

I don't have the hours and hours to spend online on music blogs downloading obscure MP3s like I did while I was at university, trawling through to find stuff I like. So now finding new music is more of a challenge.

I've found the curated approach of Apple to be much better than the algorithmic approach of Spotify (and Spotify's curated playlists are also worse).

If you used to like finding new music through blogs, Hype machine does a pretty awesome job of taking the pain out of trawling for new stuff. They aggregate everything for you on their site so you just see and stream a playlist of music from all of the blogs you follow.
