Stop listening to Spotify or Apple Music or any other streaming source. Respect music and musicians and songwriters enough to listen to their source recordings. God I can't wait for these platforms to go belly up!

After resisting (although I use Apple computers, I deep down hate the damn company), I signed up with Apple Music.

I am two months in and underwhelmed. Lousy search function. When you find an artist's niche, it's attenuated for no discernable reason. The algorithm is deeply convinced I want to listen to nothing but HipHop and Rap (won't touch the crap). Pushes weird new musicians and buries anything remotely interesting--and they have a complete record of everything I've bought from their store so they know my tastes...except they don't.

It's weird, mind-melding junk andtypically Apple-arrogant.

Yes, I've discovered some great music but not with any help from Music's front end.

And if I drop, the music goes poof, disappears.

Orwellian.
