Hello World! Since Apple Music has been added to the Google Play Store, I have been taking advantage of the storage space available on my Android smartphone, which is much cheaper than buying a new iPhone! ☺️
Surprisingly, shortly after I purchased my Xiaomi Redmi 9T smartphone, Apple offered me two months FREE Apple Music subscription, allowing me to have my entire Apple Music library, approximately 45GB in size for “lossless-quality” music on my Android that would never fit on my 32GB iPhone. And then, towards the end of my two-month free trial of Apple Music from Apple, my local mobile carrier then offered me six months FREE, but I had to cancel my free-trial from Apple before I can claim six more months FREE! ☺️
Lately, because my disrespectful next-door neighbor is also an irresponsible pet dog owner, my favorite playlist I began enjoying, is called, Singing Bowls – Apple Music Wellness, which, when played with my BOSE QuietComfort 35 II headphones at maximum noise-cancellation, I’m able to enjoy a relaxation experience! ☺️
On my Android smartphone, I just launch the Apple Music app, activate playlists, click on the playlist I want, wait a few seconds for the requested playlist to load, then press the play shuffled button. Once the music begins playing, I lock my phone’s screen, put on my Bose headphones, power-up, and enjoy! ☺️
For those addicted to YouTube Music, Google only offered me a one-month free trial, so I opted for the better offers instead! My initial plan was to subscribe to YouTube music, and I had set up my favorites there, casted to my Google Chromecast-connected HDTV, but Apple became much more attractive. Here, in The Philippines, Google & Apple are fighting to get the most customers, offering the same subscription rate of 🇵🇭₱129, both hurting Spotify whereas Amazon Music continues opting to not reduce their subscription rates.
Thanks for reading my latest blog post! Have a Great Day!
