However, Spotify's ability to select multiple songs in the Now Playing queue to add to a playlist or remove is nice compared to the one at a time management system on Apple Music, although Apple Music's animations and UI for moving between the queue and Now Playing are much smoother. Apple Music's sing-along style of lyric display tops Spotify's card-based style, with Apple also having lyrics for a far wider selection of songs. I appreciate that the bottom tabs on Apple Music put Library on the left rather than the right since I tend to one-hand my phone in my left hand while holding drinks or bags, but the Home tab from Spotify is something that For You just doesn't replace well.Īpple Music's Now Playing layout is also far cleaner than Spotify's, and the extra space between the playback controls and the seek bar help avoid the accidental skips and seeks while trying to pause or rewind. When it comes to interfaces and UI, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, but I have to confess that Apple Music's UI has grown on me considerably since the addition of a Dark theme option and the adoption of bottom tab navigation, something Spotify's had for years.
