The main thing for me is being able to leave my phone at home while I go for a run or walk the dog and being able to bring my AirPods along and listen to music through my watch. You can't do that with Spotify but it works really well with AM. It's a minor thing but it is a nice convenience.

That's exactly it. The AW3 can control Spotify but can't run Spotify without your phone near like it can with Apple Music

Gotcha! I don't go running regularly so it's not something I ever considered as a feature/something lacking.

Amazon prime music is good enough for me considering i already get it with my membership.

I just signed up for Spotify on the $4.99 student plan. So far, so good. But Texas / Red Dirt music sucks these days. Yikes.

I didn't like Amazon. The playlists were too limited and every song I wanted to download seemed to require another subscription. Apple Music and I never "clicked". I couldn't get used to it.

For Texas/Red Dirt, download TuneIn and search for Radiofreetexas.

The one thing I wish it had was the ability to select different playlists to listen to as a mix. It would be nice to select an existing country and classic rock playlist/station to be mixed at work rather than having to go in and change or create a new playlist.

You can do that. If you go to any playlist and click the three dots under all the options one will be "Go to Radio" and it will make a radio station based on that playlist. I've used it before and it winded up repeating a lot from the same artists on playlist that had 200+ songs on it so I switched to using the daily mixes more. It might be better now, its been a while since I've used it.

It also has suggestions at the bottom of playlists that are based on what you put in a playlist which is a good way to make big playlists based on a genre, without searching for a bunch of stuff.
