> I don't use Apple music because I'm not willing to commit to a single-platform service

What do you mean by "single-platform service"? Apple Music is available for Windows (via iTunes) and Android (via a dedicated app)

Where's the Linux player? Spotify has one.
iTunes on Windows is garbage and the Android version of Apple Music is buggy as hell.
To be fair it’s also buggy as hell on iOS and Mac.
The Android app has 3.5 stars. It must not be buggy for most people.

3.5 is a bad rating for an Android app. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Netflix and even the IRS app all have > 4.0 scores.
It used to be rated much higher, but after Apple bought it some of the more rabid users of Android felt the necessity to post negative reviews because they're so offended by iPhones every day of their lives.

Something similar to: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/09/17/move-to-ios-android-...

I think >99% of Android users don't fall into that camp if they're even interested in iOS vs Android in the first place, don't get me wrong. But that <1% should seek professional help IMHO.

Those are weak numbers. The majority selected 5 but the recent comments are very low which usually means changes that made the product worse. The second most popular entry is 1.
That's typically a bad rating online.
