I really, really don't like ex-Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, so was devastated to see him named as the face of Apple's Beats 1 radio - a worldwide radio station which will run 24 hours a day.īut I REALLY, REALLY love Julie Adenuga, who is also hosting a show. I decided to see how Spotify and Apple Music ticked my (rather personal) boxes, in a bid to decide which is the best.

How can I possibly use a music service run by a globe-straddling behemoth which makes the biggest music labels look like a community run acoustic singalong?įacebook, Google and all the rest of them have done their best to destroy my social and professional life.Īre Apple about to do the same with one of my greatest passions? When I was younger, all of my friends hated the major labels and loved the indies. Now Apple has decided to muscle into the music game all over again and its set my teenage punk rock spider sense a-tingling.

I didn't ever see the point in buying songs from iTunes, because they seemed like a terribly poor investment, not to mention being of dreadfully low sound quality.Īnd sure enough, I was right - as the legions of grumpy folk whose massive iTunes libraries have been rendered worthless by the arrival of streaming music will confirm.
