Alternatively, you can pay an annual fee of £99 ($99, AU$119). The monthly subscription is £10 ($10, AU$10), which is the same as Spotify Premium and Tidal HiFi – but cheaper than Tidal's top HiFi Plus tier (which will set you back £20 a month). It certainly beats Spotify’s current 320kbps cap on streaming resolution… Also, certain tracks are getting Dolby Atmos support and the Cupertino giant’s own standard (or head-tracking enhanced) Spatial Audio treatment too. And now, all of Apple Music's 90-million-strong music catalogue is available in CD resolution or better encoded in the ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) format. With the standard membership, you can download 100,000 songs to listen to offline, too.
Apple Music mixes your personal music library with an enormous catalogue of over 90 million songs – a mix of old and new tracks on par with Spotify’s extensive catalogue – along with Apple Music’s three live radio stations plus TV shows, films, music videos and over 30,000 expertly curated playlists.
