It’s insane to believe that we’re currently just about 2 months far from WWDC 2024. Here we are, and like everybody who gets hyped about this occasion, I can’t assist however dream about what Apple may have in shop for us with iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and now visionOS.
While there are a lot of other dreams I might discuss, there is one dream that has actually followed me through years of updates to macOS– which dream is for the business to lastly desert the style values of iTunes for great and launch a reimagined Apple Music app.
I’ve been an Apple Music user for many years now. As a Spotify transform, I’ve seen the development of Apple Music considering that it released back in 2015 to what it has actually ended up being today. The experience has actually definitely enhanced in a lots of methods, from navigation to style, in addition to an exceptional listening experience with both Lossless Audio and Spatial Audio. The Animated Art on the Now Playing screen is likewise a lot more lovely on Apple Music than what Spotify deals.
I ‘d likewise argue that Apple Music’s iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple television apps transcend to what Spotify provides on those gadgets. There’s one gadget where Spotify presently damages Apple in regards to a much better app: the Mac.

Apple Music is suffering on the Mac
This isn’t even due to Spotify making a terrific Mac app for its music streaming app. While the app has actually definitely gone through some significant style updates and feels more modern-day, Spotify’s objective to load music, podcasts, and audiobooks into one super-app has, a minimum of for me, began to make the Mac app feel a bit messy. They’ve likewise attempted to work a few of the iPhone app’s redesign into the Mac app, making it feel much more disorderly.
Where Spotify beats Apple Music on the Mac does not involve how great the Spotify app is however the reality that Spotify has actually at least upgraded the app at all. The Apple Music app on the Mac has actually seemed like the red-headed stepchild for the business– suffering with little attention paid to it. If you compare the Apple Music app on the Mac to the last variation of the iTunes app, you will not discover a lots of distinctions in how you browse or experience your music.
There’s at least another individual worldwide who concurs with me. One user on Reddit published in 2015, “I do not comprehend how everybody appears to be great with the UI on Mac. It’s a definitely horrendous style to have my library appear like iTunes from the early 2000s while my playlist got the upgraded contemporary appearance. Exists something I am missing out on due to the fact that I have not had the ability to discover any reference of this?”
