Forced by Anti-Competitive Apple to move to Apple Music

[Ploooplooo]

Apple definitely exploits their dominance to kill innovative companies.  I was a Spotify premium user for a long time.  Then I got an Apple Watch to run with, but needed to download music to listen offline.  Not surprisingly, I discovered that Apple doesn't implement the technology Spotify needs to download/play music offline on the Watch.  But of course Apple Music works offline on the Watch.  So for now I've cancelled Spotify and moved to Apple Music until such time I can use Spotify offline on the watch.

Really unfortunate.
