You can stream your music through your PlayStation and control the playback and playlist from your phone.

You can play a song on your tablet, then switch playback to your phone as you put your shoes on and get ready to leave the house. Spotify has a very solid multi-device control. No such offer from the other 3 competitors here. There’s a Spotify integration for Xbox Game Bar on PC. I mean… there is a Spotify app on my PlayStation 4, which can work in the background while I am gaming. Most other apps will 'play it safe' and you have to actively go and look for a special 'Discover' playlist on them.Īlso, Spotify has been around longer than Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube Music, which allowed it to get a head start in entrenching itself in multiple platforms and 3rd party user interfaces. Sure, it sometimes misses the mark and I go about skipping the song, but I appreciate the willingness to take a bit of a risk.

I value a good “discover” function baked into my main mix very highly - I just drop into the app and start my radio like any day, but every once in a while, the playlist surprises me with shiny new jewel. Spotify is pretty good at mixing up my favorite artists and throwing in a new name in there, which often matches my tastes.

Back in the day, Google Play Music was my favorite since its “discover” worked wonders for my musical tastes, but unfortunately, Google Play Music is now dead.
