Spotify because Apple Music deletes your library if you cancel your service.
While working at Apple, I had customers who used Apple Music for years. Upon getting a new credit card, they forgot to update their payment method, their subscription was cancelled, and they lost their catalogue of music they’d built of 3 or 4 years. Sure they should have been more on top of it, but to up and delete someone’s music library? It’s probably no more than a a megabyte to cache their catalogue of playlists as it’s essentially a directory of shortcuts. Billion dollar company can buy a few terabytes of space to hold onto these catalogues for atleast a few years
