Spotify loses Neil Young
It was the biggest news around Spotify last week. Singer-songwriter Neil Young gets his entire oeuvre from the Swedish streaming service and placed it on Apple Music and Amazon Music, among others. The reason for this move was the podcasts of the American Joe Rogan. Some invited guests proclaimed in this The Joe Rogan Experience sometimes fake news about Covid-19. According to Young, Spotify did not do enough to counter this. The streaming platform has since taken steps.

Why should you switch to Apple Music?
In addition to appearing to be involved in less ethical dilemmas, Apple Music offers many other benefits as well. For example, Apple Music is extra useful because it is fully integrated into Siri. This allows you to easily put on your favorite music with voice control without opening the app. Apple Music also offers music in a higher ‘lossless’ sound quality. This is ideal for the audiophiles among us.
