The streaming game was full of twists and turns this year, with players each racing to be the first to offer subscribers lossless and spatial audio. Apple Music has had a big year, rolling out both of those features at no additional cost, but it also provided a quality experience on top of that with quality audio programming via platforms such as Apple Music 1 and the Christmas themed From Apple Music With Love.
