Apple Music v Spotify: how do they compare?

Can the plucky new upstart beat the music streaming market leader at its own game? A Spotify user puts Apple Music to the test

I've always loved music. I used to spend hours making cassette compilations so I could play my CD singles in the car. Yes, this was another time (and indeed another place). Tapes were replaced by MiniDiscs (stop laughing please), then I joined the iPod generation.

But I never really became a committed iTunes buyer, so when Spotify came along it was something of a revelation. Read about a new artist or a new album from a band I already know, go to Spotify and listen to it, all for no additional cost above the 9.99 a month I already pay. Repeat ad nauseam. Finding the time to listen to everything I'd like to is the real problem.
