the best and most useful music app. just switched from apple music. spotify has provided a better user experience so far.

pros:

always dark theme

creating a session allows you to listen to music with friends

supported by many 3rd party platforms

accurate music, playlist, and podcast suggestions

finding/following friends

hulu and spotify bundle

great apple watch app

has a larger turkish music library. i don't know whether this is the same for all genres

cons:

compared with apple music and spotify, spotify has more complicated theme

no simultaneous lyrics. no lyrics at all

the world's first temple. approximately, 6000 years older than stonehenge

an animal that represents sneaky and two-faced people in turkish culture.

if you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too:
if you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
or being hated don't give way to hating,
and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

if you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
if you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
if you can meet with triumph and disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same:.
if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
and stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

if you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
and lose, and start again at your beginnings,
and never breathe a word about your loss:
if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
except the will which says to them: "hold on!"

if you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
if all men count with you, but none too much:
if you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
and - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!
