Apple Music Review: High-Quality Music, Low Frills - CNET

Apple Music costs $12 a month and bundles streaming over 100 million songs in lossless quality, with an option for spatial audio, plus access to an existing iTunes library. In a CNET review, the service is presented as high-quality but intentionally low on “extras,” with no notable audiobooks or podcasts compared with rivals like Spotify. The app is praised for being easy to use, and radio stations are described as a novel touch, though spatial audio is framed as something not to overexpect. The review notes Apple Music makes the most sense for Apple users, while it still works well on other hardware. It also includes Apple Music Classical.
