I very recently came across Apple music and it has given me the best music experience on Android, as in my country, India, Spotify is not available yet and other competing apps are nowhere close to what apple provides. Amazing music quality, availability of almost every song I listen to, very nice UI and an equalizer.

Also, one of the reasons is the very cheap subscription for university students and the 3 months free trial. Unbeatable, yet.

Amazon Prime Music is pretty good too, and is free with Prime membership, which is 3/4 the price you pay for Apple Music alone. I also liked Wynk app in India.

The only reason I'm not jumping ship to Amazon's offering is Apple's tight integration with my watch and Apple TV. This will only get stronger with HomePod.

The audio quality is subpar on amazon music. I could hear it lightly distorting which is weird. Hopefully just a player bug and not an audio file issue.

I just wish it worked with Android Auto. Otherwise I'd probably still be subscribed to Apple Music rather than Spotify

I tried Anndroid Auto app multiple times on my Android phone. One thing I don't like is not able to change route preference from within the app such as Avoiding Tolls etc. Because of that I always have to come back to Google Maps app.

I agree with you. Also, you can find more Indian music in AM than in Spotify

FYI you can get a Tidal subscription for like $5 for 6 months on the secondary market easily. Once it runs out, you can just buy a new one. It is a good solution for people on a tight budget.

Google music is cheaper in India. And matches the songs available.
