For those who need access to all types of music, including secular music, for work or other purposes, while all platforms may have objectionable content, some are better than others.

Spotify is the most popular music app, but it also includes music videos, full-length movies, and podcasts on every topic — and we do mean every topic.

The second most popular music app is Apple Music, and it comes with a number of safety features that Spotify does not have. It’s also available for Android, even though it’s an Apple product. Among those features: it is focused on music only — no movies, ebooks, or podcasts like you’ll find on Spotify. There are also password-protected parental controls that can block music videos and explicit content. And with a content filter, even album art can be hidden, since that can sometimes include objectionable imagery as well.

For anyone trying to balance broad music needs with a safer environment, Apple Music is the safer choice.
