Spotify may be the biggest name in music streaming, but there are several reasons Apple Music could be a better fit for certain listeners today.

Apple Music will introduce “Made With AI” labels to help listeners identify songs produced with AI. But is Apple being strict enough?

And Spotify expanded its share buyback program by $1.5 billion, raising its total authorization to around $2.2 billion. Plus, Warner Music Group CEO Robert Kyncl defended his company’s Suno licensing deal as UMG and Sony press on with their lawsuit against the AI music platform.

Apple Music offers an extensive catalog with high-quality encoding, and it makes the most sense for users of Apple hardware.

As a result of Apple Music going up in price in July, two Apple One plans also received price increases around the world. In the U.S., the Apple One Family and Apple One Premier both went up by $2 per month.

Apple Music has told partners that music “materially generated” on AI platforms such as Suno will carry a “Made With AI” label on the service from later this year. At least, that is, if record labels and distributors tag the music with the relevant metadata before it reaches the platform.

iTunes was the go-to music app for many long before Spotify or streaming music ever broke out onto the scene, but Apple decided to change things up in 2019.
