I received an email notification this morning: $99/year to $109/year as of July 2 (for me).
I think I’m going to cancel. Amazon Music will likely have a price bump too, but currently it’s only $79/year (for me). And I really like its “My Likes and More” playlist feature which Apple Music currently lacks.

Amazon Prime comes with access to their whole library but with some limits, replay, rewind, limited skips..... Use that occasionally, and Spotify free.

Prices always go up so that is normal but the real issue is the service itself. Lot of other great steaming services out there. Never been an Apple fan (or customer in any way) but it's what works for you. Compare and choose.
I'm currently using Spotify but have been constantly considering returning to Pandora. With Spotify and Apple Music, most of the playlists are curated and hardly change. At least with Pandora, it was pretty random and I could always use the like/dislike function to manipulate the playlist.

Yep, just canceled my Amazon music unlimited. I hope they don't keep bugging me like AOL did.
I have tried those platforms and Spotify, and settled on Spotify. I wish I could get to like Amazon Music since it's free, or a small premium over free for the paid subscription if you're already a Prime junkie (Which I am). I
Somehow with Apple, I have found every tech decisions they've made with media distribution to be designed to befuddle me. Their iTunes/Music platform makes my skin crawl. I'd rather do taxes than navigate that morass.

The Discover Weekly playlist usually gets a winner or two added to be few main playlists that I use for running, or work.
