Gary, I have been using iTunes Match for a few years, paying the $25 annual fee. I do not currently use $10/mo Apple Music service. Can you explain what I would gain by abandoning Match and beginning the paid Apple Music service? My song collection is from ripped CDs, iTunes downloads and even the Napster days. I am perfectly content listing to my collection, not necessarily needing to stream the latest music. Thank you.
Ed: So Apple Music is a streaming service, like Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music and others by Google and Amazon. When you subscribe to one of these services, you can listen to anything they have, which is close to all mainstream music and most other things too. Millions of songs. You can just look up a song or album and play it. Create playlists or listen to ones others have created.
Music is a big part of my life and I love that I can hear about an artist and go right in and listen. I don’t have to decide whether to buy albums or not before I even hear them. I often browse and explore in Apple Music trying new artists and rediscovering ones I haven’t listened to in a long time.
