Spotify is the global leader in the music streaming industry, Apple is catching up but its still a long way from getting there. However, Apple Music’s share is growing rapidly in the United States.
Spotify has an upper hand with its free music streaming option which Apple Music doesn’t offer. Apple Music requires a paid membership, period. Other paid services include Google Play Music and Amazon Prime Music.
But which service should you invest in? I have tried almost all of the services and here are my thoughts.
I’m from India, and for me, Apple Music is the best because it’s collection is huge. It has nearly 40 million songs which includes regional songs. I listen to English and Hindi songs mostly, and Korean sometimes. There was never a time when I couldn’t find a song I was looking (or listening?) for.
However, I don’t feel comfortable with Apple Music’s UI on Android; iOS’ UI is fine. Also, I find the Android app to be buggy sometimes, it’s not a big deal though.
I see Spotify as the best streaming service for US and other native English speaking countries (maybe other languages too) because it’s English music collection is on point. Also, the design of the app is simple, clutter free which makes it easier to navigate and find songs.
I have used Spotify for a brief period of time and it’s the only music streaming service that I actually love, however, I decided to move to Apple Music because it’s regional Indian music collection is very less.
Google Play Music is another good music streaming services as it’s collection is quite vast but it’s design is not that great. It doesn’t appeal to me.
Amazon Prime Music is one service that I haven’t tried yet, however, from what I know its collection is very tiny, it offers just 2 million songs with the Prime package, and if subscribed for the Music Unlimited pack then the collection will increase to 10 million songs which is still not as huge as Apple and Spotify’s collection. However, I haven’t tried the service yet, I shouldn’t comment.
So, if you listen to English songs mostly, then according to me, Spotify is the best choice; Apple Music is not bad either if you’re OK with the UI. However, if you listen to English and also Hindi songs then Apple Music is the best choice.
Google Play Music is also good but the app itself just doesn’t feel right, if the content is just what you care about, then you should be fine.
Tidal is another music service; it offers “lossless high fidelity” sound meaning the songs sound better on expensive, good sounding headphones. I think its an experimental service, if you are in a mood for trying out new services, then give it a try.
This catalogue accompanies an exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, which is the first dedicated to the graphic oeuvre of Antoine Caron (1521–1599). Bringing together a core group of drawings centered around the figures and deeds of the French Royal family, the Valois, this display highlights the role played by Catherine de’ Medici (1519–1589). Featuring the Valois series, a set of drawings here reunited for the first time, the display showcases the way in which the powerful and influential Catherine promoted the success of her regency and future of her progeny by delivering a series of lavish courtly events that were meant to enhance the power and diplomacy of her family.The drawings represent jousts, tournaments, festivals and a mock naval battle, events that occurred at the French court during the reigns of Catherine’s sons Charles IX and Henri III. Preparatory designs for a group of tapestries, these visual documents relate to actual events that were organized by the court, some of which took place at the French castles of Anet, Palace of Fontainebleau, Bayonne and at the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. Minutely designed, they thus allow a reconstruction of the visual testimony of those events, as they were documented in written contemporary sources.Antoine Caron: Drawing for Catherine de’ Medici is the latest in a series of books accompanying critically acclaimed Courtauld displays, which showcase aspects of the Gallery’s outstanding permanent collection.
Body-Solid's all-new Soft Plyo Boxes feature a unique three-sided design. It's like getting three different standard plyo boxes in one. In addition, the soft sides minimize the potential for banged shins and scrapes that can sometimes occur with standard plyo boxes. Three diverse heights (20", 24", 30") allow you to customize your workout and adjust on the fly. This unmatched versatility removes clutter from your workout space. The durable vinyl cover resists wear and tear while remaining firm even after heavy use. Never worry about footprints or dirt again, as the vinyl covering allows for easy cleanup. Safety is key to the soft plyo box design as the reinforced soft foam protects you on jumps while remaining firm enough to perform all your favorite plyometric movements.

Go from fitness to fashion in the Women's S Sport By Skechers Comfort'D Performance Athletic Shoes in Blue. These slip on sports shoes are the ultimate in versatile convenience.
I bought these after a pair of my old sneakers were breaking. I loved the old pair which were the same brand. I love the comfort and no laces. I was worried about buying these online and not trying them on first because my shoe size can vary and narrow shoes don't work. They were shipped super fa...see moreof the reviewer's review
I ordered these at customer service, thinking I was getting the 'Relax'd' style. Unfortunately, unlike the Relax'd, these have a gravel grabbing sole. I have to take these off at the door because they pick up so much gravel, you have to use a screwdriver to pick it out.see moreof the reviewer's review
Overall pretty comfortable. I bought these to work in. Between both jobs im on my feet 16 hours a day sometimes. Very cozy as far as the bottom cushion wise and support wise but they are a little tight on the width. Usually I don't have to purchase wide shoes. I highly recommend them though.see moreof the reviewer's review
I bought these a year ago and wire them out so I was glad to find them online. Love these shoes because there is no break in period. Comfortable and fit as they should
Great sneakers. Fits true to size. Very comfortable. After three years of hard use from my first pair I finally broke down and mail ordered a replacement pair and hope they hold up as well as the first!see moreof the reviewer's review
