5 things Google Play Music does better than Apple Music

Well, folks, Apple has rolled out iOS 8.4 and with it – Apple Music. The company's foray into the music streaming world certainly caused some rumble. Seeing as iPhones are currently a huge part of the mobile market share, it's only natural that there will be a lot of eyes on Cupertinians' new service. In order to please artists, Apple promised to pay them the highest revenue cut, compared to rival streamers – 71.5%, compared to the usual 70%. In order to reel in users, it has promised a generous 3-month free trial period – one that caused some controversy with artists (no, it wasn't just Taylor Swift that wasn't pleased with it), but was ultimately modeled in a way that keeps everyone happy.

So, sure, Apple has some prowess, especially with Beats under its belt. There is no doubt that the new Music service will be great and keep its subscribers happy. But will it actually be leaps and bounds better than the competition? Well, currently, we can't really see it offering much more. In fact, let's check out 5 reasons why Google Play Music is still better than Apple Music!
