I've been looking into streaming music services lately and am
       currently trying to decide between Apple Music and Spotify. These
       are my current thoughts.
       
       Apple Music
       
       Pros: Integrated into my music and existing software already, since
       I'm an all Apple household. Related to that, there's a factor of
       convenience.
       
       Cons: No free option. Can only share music with friends who use
       Apple products, I believe.
       
       Spotify
       
       Pros: Free option. Can share with friends who don't use Apple
       products. Cross-platform (not an issue for me, though).
       
       Cons: Two places to get music: my local music and Spotify. That
       fragmentation is not desireable. Web player requires Flash, which
       is a huge con for me.
       
       General thoughts:
       
       Both music libraries seem good, so that's not an issue. I don't
       mind paying for a service, so that's not an issue. I'm all Apple,
       so being cross-platform is not an issue. I think it is ultimately
       going to come down to this:
       
       Do I want to share music with friends but have to use Flash to
       listen to streaming music that isn't integrated with my local music?
       Do I want to have a one-stop-shop for all my music, without the
       need for Flash?
       
       I'm not sure I'm ready to go 100% streaming, so access to local
       music is still a requirement.
