The thing GPM did that neither Apple Music nor Spotify do was cache played songs in an offline playlist. You could specify the size of the cache you wanted (e.g. 10GB), and each time you streamed a song it would thereafter be playable offline until dropped from cache.

You're dead on, though, that Apple Music is lightyears ahead of Spotify wrt local files.

That is very cool, I didn't know about that feature. I agree, that would be super neat. The closest Apple Music gets is you can set it up to automatically download to mobile any tracks added to library with the "+" button.
