> I was thinking about switching over to Apple Music for a bit to see if I like the whole user experience a bit more even if apple music on its own is inferior.

I’m not sure what part of the service you consider ‘inferior’ to Spotify (I personally dislike Spotify’s UI/UX), but  Music’s iOS integration is really great. I can also use it in my android devices and Sonos stuff too.

I also find Music’s professionally-curated playlists (and radio stations now that there are a variety) to be far superior to any algorithm I’ve come across for music discovery.

Yes, this is the difference for me too. Apple's curated playlists look like an actual human made them with some forethought. Spotify's playlists are just autogenerated.

On the other hand Spotify's "Discover Weekly" is vastly superior to Apple Music's "New Music Mix".
