Apple Music-like Platforms and Music Replay
Apple Music has the two toughest competitors in the music service industry: Spotify and YouTube Music.
Compared to Apple's music streaming platform, YouTube is tied up to its own video-viewing channel. This means that users can still access YouTube music on the platform.
Going back to Apple Music, the app has been great so far due to its compatibility with other related devices. The streamers could also enjoy downloading songs from their Apple Watches.
In February, Spotify launched the same compatibility that was present in Apple Music. For those who are wondering about the cap of the downloaded songs on the platform, it is limited to only 10,000 songs.
In the same month, the Apple Music Replay update was released. Usually, it gets its update every Sunday so users should pay attention to this day. They can also regularly check its website for more details.
