Yeah, I have found Apple Music to be better than Spotify for the curation of music libraries.

> it just lists all of the songs that I have saved from an artist, ignoring the album information

AM definitely has Spotify beat here. Click an artist, see their albums, choose an album to listen to. All in one view. It seems so natural ... I wonder if this is because I learned to curate my music on iTunes, and it is just a habit?

But for music discovery, open development practices (this is the biggest reason I switched from AM to Spotify - knowing that no matter what kind of thing I want to hack together, Raspberry Pi connected to BT speaker connected to projector, I would be able connect Spotify to it somehow), and social music experience, I think Spotify has AM beat.

Maybe I am missing something, but it seems like the flow you describe is exactly how it works in Spotify. Here is an artist page with the album list prominently featured: https://i.imgur.com/wNAjoCa.png

Sorry, I was referring to your curated music library, not searching.

For example, in Spotify they just list all the tracks

In Apple Music, they list the albums, year, artwork, etc.

I definitely prefer Apple's for browsing my current music.
