An iTunes gift card was, and continues to be, at the top of my Christmas and birthday wish lists. I still remember buying songs with my parents’ account on the old computer in my den, then discovering my now-favorite albums with my own account and loading them onto all of the iPods and iPhones I’ve had over the years. My first answer to this question is that I use the service out of nostalgia. But I will tell you why I’ll defend Apple Music until the day I die. Look, I’m not here to tell you what apps you should or shouldn’t use. When I tell somebody for the first time that I am an Apple Music user, I am usually met with the same, one-word question: “ Why?” From there, sometimes they launch into telling me why they prefer a different streaming service - maybe it’s cheaper, or maybe it has a bundle with a TV subscription.

With that comes a question of which services are better than others, an argument I’ve found myself in more times than I can count. It’s no surprise that, given the vastness of the digital world, there are several different services that are dedicated specifically to streaming music.
