Apple Music has been utterly awful on desktop for years, with virtually zero positive progress. I made this angry video [1] 4 years ago, and have tried using Apple Music multiple times since then, and it never failed to disappoint. 1. ▶ this video
Like it's broken beyond all recognition and hope with all interactions and expectations of a native app just gone. See this review: ▶ this video
"unique style of content" is a strange way to describe a lackluster library. It doesn't even seem to be improving. There is not a lot of new content compared to 6 month ago (when I first checked). Unless you're very into one of few shows, it's not worth it. And it's not me speaking. They offer 1 year free trial! Who does this? I have't tried other services, so I cannot comment. Although, Apple Music seems to be a disaster: ▶ this video
In the past few years Apple has dropped the ball on HIG and MacOS. Here's AppStore mini-review: link "Get 15 people, put them in 15 different offices with no communication between them, set them to work on one feature at a time. You will get something very similar to the App Store." Here's Apple Music review (spoiler: swearing): ▶ this video
Assuming you mean Apple Music (iTunes was an okay MP3 player/ripper, but is dead), I consider it the exception that proves the rule. Enjoy the schadenfreude of this recent Apple Music for macOS review: ▶ this video
