I find myself swapping streaming services often these days. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I've been exposed to higher-calibre services that already deliver on the promises of the still absent Spotify HiFi tier, or maybe it's down to having access to more prestigious audio kit that deserves a platform capable of delivering better quality audio; either way, I am once again branching out after yet another year-long courtship with Spotify.
I'm bound to return to the platform at some point – I've already made it clear that its playlists and social features always draw me back in – but for now, I've found myself using Apple Music. I wasn't necessarily in the market for a new streaming service, however, a pop-up offering me two months of free Apple Music when I opened the app was all the persuasion I needed. It's been a while since I last used Apple Music, roughly three years if I had to make an educated guess, but the user interface was as slick and inviting as I remember it being.
