A while back, we stopped paying for Spotify. It wasn’t out of protest or principle – it was just one of those decisions you make when you realise how many monthly charges have crept into your life. We already have Apple Music as a part of the Apple One bundle, so it made sense to stop paying for one more thing.
In practice, though, it was kind of annoying. The problem isn’t the catalogue or interface. In fact, there are a lot of things I prefer about Spotify over Apple Music. The real problem, however, was the decade of carefully built playlists. Rebuilding them manually in Apple Music would take hours. Having to add every song, one at a time, meant enough friction that, for a while, we just… didn’t do it.
