I agree. But one of my (many) bugbears with Spotify is the poor audio quality of their ‘best’ setting.
I haven’t tried Apple Music, but if Apple allowed access to their uncompressed stream through an API (currently only via AirPlay) to devices like my BlueSound Node then I would switch straight away.
Compared to CD, the best streaming quality from Spotify is pretty abysmal.
