Music is consumed more
in addition to streaming, via numerous platforms offering catalogs of
musical content accessible through a monthly subscription. It can be
difficult to make a choice among the different and numerous offers
availableand for more than a year, a new actor has entered the
danse :Apple Music.
So between the latter and the other solutions present on the market,
some long-standing likeSpotify,Deezeror others like Google Play
Music, we wanted to know the favorite choice of iPhon.fr readers.
It was the object ofsurvey started last week, he is
time to learn more about your musical choices!
Before revealing the results, let's take a look at the state of play. Apple Music does
part of the youngest services in this area. It was launchedin June
2015. After a complicated start linked to the period of free and
non-remuneration of artists quickly resolved, it took off suddenly
exclusives in particular.
Apple Music has thus joined the leading pack made up, in France, of
Spotify et Deezer, two services that have already existed since
several years (2008 for the first, 2007 for the second). In a way
generally speaking, the tech giants have not left music aside
and offer their own music streaming solution: Google with
Google Play Music, but also soon Amazon with Amazon Prime Music while
Samsung and Microsoft have also tried it.
Finally, other players are in place with slightly different offers,
like Qobuz and Tidal and their superior audio quality, Soundcloud and its
original content orthe whole
recent CStream from Cdiscount.
But faced with such variety, what is your choice?
Your music streaming preferences
At the head ofalmost 2400 votes, we find
Spotify, which is not really a surprise since the
Swedish music service is alsomost used in the
monde.
Deezer takes second place, probably helped by his
numerous Franco-French partnerships established since its launch.
Apple Music completes the podium with24% of votes. Let us note
scores still very close, with only 6 points difference
between the first and the third.
Finally, only7% of respondents voted for a service
other.
Partnerships make choice easier
Thanks to your comments, as with each survey, we were able to learn
a little more. The first point that emerges from all your details is
the importance of partnershipswhat were they able to put in place
notably Spotify and Deezer with mobile telephone operators.
Indeed, many of you naturally benefit from one of these two
services included automatically or as an option at a reduced rate with the subscription
mobile.
Spotify is alsojudged as more complete than Deezer and others
competitors, when Deezer mainly benefits from itsseniority in
France. Indeed, music streaming services have this
particularity of enjoying acertain customer loyalty.
This is undoubtedly also linked to the difficulty of easily transferring
playlists and music recorded in one place to find them in another
without incident.
Regarding Apple Music, despite criticism of the service
still considered incomplete and not finished, its integration into iOS and macOS is
certainly tip the scales in his favor. It is obvious that it is
the most accessible solution for any iPhone, iPad or
from Mac.
Finally, in the “Others” category, we find some users of
Qobuz, but also Soundcloud, which offers more “alternative” content than
the market giants.
See you in a few months, with a follow-up survey to see if the
figures will have changed by then. Knowing that in the meantime, Apple Music risks
good ofgain importance, while Amazon could
also be part of itat a reduced rate.
Thank you very much to all participants for voting and to
commentators for sharing their opinions.
