If you’re switching from Spotify to Apple Music, you’ll notice some differences in how the services operate.
While Spotify is known for its personalized playlists, Apple Music offers similar features. Here are 7 Spotify features that Apple Music has too.
1. Release Radar = New Music Mix
Spotify’s “Release Radar” is a weekly playlist with new music from artists you follow. Apple Music’s “New Music Mix” does the same but with recommendations based on your listening habits.
2. Discover Weekly = Discovery Station
Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” playlist is updated every Monday with new music tailored to your tastes. Apple Music’s “Discovery Station” serves a similar purpose, offering personalized radio stations based on your preferences.
3. This Is = Essentials
Spotify’s “This Is” playlists focus on an artist’s essential tracks. Apple Music has “Essentials,” which is the same idea but with a different name.
4. Artist Radio = Artist Station
Spotify’s “Artist Radio” creates a playlist with an artist’s tracks and similar artists. Apple Music’s “Artist Station” offers the same experience, letting you create a station from any artist.
5. Mood, Artist, and Decade Mixes
Spotify has personalized mixes for mood, artist, genre, and decade. Apple Music offers similar mixes, but only mood mixes are personalized (e.g., Chill Mix, Focus Mix, Heartbreak Mix).
6. Spotify DJ = Your Station
Spotify’s DJ feature uses AI to create a personalized music mix with a digital voice. Apple Music’s “Your Station” is similar, offering a personalized playlist of familiar and new music.
While Apple Music doesn’t match everything Spotify offers, these features help bridge the gap for users transitioning between the two platforms.
