The only annoyance I persistently encounter is the search function, which makes me choose between Apple Music or my local files. Or, if I am in the iTunes store tab, it just searches the store. Apple should change it so it will show search results from all three places in the autocomplete menu that appears below the search field, organized by local files, Apple Music, and the iTunes Store. Or whatever order they deem fits their business model. 

But most importantly, the social features in Spotify are much more comprehensive, like being able to line up with friends from Facebook or Twitter, see what they're listening to, collaborate with them on shared playlists, etc. Curated playlists are great and all, but they are curated within strict artist/genre/decade lines, which I find boring. Shared music from my bandmates and other friends is more likely to resonate with me, since we know each others' tastes and sensibilities. Apple Music's social features consist of copying links to text message or social media apps. It's not right in the app. This is a glaring omission, in light of what the competition offers. 

The only reason why I stick with Apple Music is because of Siri integration, and integration with my iTunes library and playlists, which have been in existence and refined for the last 12 years.
