Spotify and Apple Music are two of the leading music streaming services, popular for their vast music libraries. Beyond the music, however, Apple Music offers subscribers access to the company's live studio performances, radio interviews, and music videos, while Spotify's additional subscription perks lean heavily into audiobooks and podcasts.
