It's weird, the only reason I can't use Apple Music is because it doesn't sync between devices. Apple being the company it is, it's just crazy to me that I can't pickup listening where I left off on my phone once I open my laptop.

Aside: Also there's a ton of bugs, very poor job on the QA side of Apple Music

Spotify has designed this feature amazingly. Sometimes, I wonder why companies don't steal good ideas from each other more often, it seems like Apple has just refused to implement this terrific user experience.

This is because Apple has barely updated the iTunes/Music App codebase and featureset since iCloud came out in 2011.
I never remember where the "recently listened to" section is. Seems like an easy thing to get right.

Still, I prefer Apple Music's album-focused library to Spotify's playlist-focused approach.
