Your phone is just a dummy giving commands to the end device to select the tracks to be played. When you select a track in spotify app to play on your a device which has the DAC connected, the song data directly goes from the spotify's server to the end device. Spotify works very differently from airplay using AM. Don't know why this feature has gone.Ĭlick to expand.Bang on. Itunes had the feature to start from the song which was being played after you quit. Next day when I again open apple music, I go to last.fm to see the song that was being played yesterday. So in case I use apple music, I use last.fm to record what song was being played. The biggest reason I have stopped using apple music is because after carefully selecting the playlist and I start playing and quit the apple music, it totally looses the track that was being played.

The music playback on the end device can be controlled from any device. But I prefer spotify because it has a better app. I have written about this issue in many of the posts and the internet is full of the mess that apple music is as of now. Even my macbook pro, macbook mini doesn't play lossless even though apple music app shows lossless logo. Apple TV is the worst possible method to hear music.

Apple music is losless only if you connect an external dac to either an iphone or ipad through apple's proprietary cable known as CCK (camera connection kit).

Is spotify better than itunes
