As far as streaming goes I have both Apple music, which I pay $9.99 a month for, and Spotify which I'm on my BIL's acct. I find Spotify a lot harder to use than Apple and basically never use it. I saw earlier in the thread people talking about data usage and the such. Doesn't Spotify let you download songs so you don't have to stream them and use data plus have connectivity issues? Apple does let you download. I'm guessing if you end your Apple subscription all the downloads disappear.
