My 3 months of free Apple Music subscription ended and I didn't renew my subscription until the Android app's release a few days ago. After a couple of weeks of that, I gave up and turned iCloud uploading off because it didn't seem like it was working. I checked Apple Music on my iPad and found none of my tracks there. I repeated that for several days to the same tune. I have a slow internet connection so I just shrugged it off. When I turned it on, I got a spinning circle for Apple Music for hours and hours. The problem is that iCloud uploading isn't the most transparent and intuitive experience. If you manage to break the 100,000 song barrier, you're a worse hoarder than me. My personal library stands at over 12,000 songs (which, for the sake of this review, we'll say was all obtained legally), and there are tracks among them that I've never listened to and will probably never have the time to listen to. You get a 100,000 song limit on uploads, and purchased iTunes music doesn't count toward your quota.

American (Northern, Central, and Southern), European, and Southeast Asian countries are usually among the first supported by many services, but African, Middle Eastern, and plenty of other Asian nations often have limited options and even fewer good ones. But stray farther and things become less clear. If you live in the USA, you can have your pick among any of them and there's little argument over the value of a $10 combined Google Play Music Unlimited and YouTube Red / Youtube Music subscription. The problem with most of these services is their availability. There is no shortage of music streaming services that not only provide an extensive music selection, but also have good if not great Android applications so you can benefit from their catalogue everywhere you go.
