Comparison between Amazon Music and Apple Music in India

For a long time, I had oscillation on selection of best online music platform that offers superior sound quality and with affordable pricing option. So, I had formulated below table for the readers to opt for best suited online music platform, based on their priority and requirements.

	Amazon Music	Apple Music
Price	Rs. 499 per Year (Assuming 50% will for prime shopping)	Rs. 999 per year
Music Catalog	Large collections available	Limited requires lot of regional music to be added
Sound Quality in AirPods Pro	Little bit grains on beats and voices	Crystal clear beats and voices
Uniqueness	Large Music catalog	Sound Quality and Spatial Audio (Yet to experience)
Added features	Application had to be opened for Alexa to work	Albums/Songs can be selected through Siri - Voice assistant
Voice Recognition	Alexa was little bit accurate than Siri	Siri was perfect on English songs, need to improve a lot on regional specific songs
Verdict	If you are strict on budget or have cost constraints, then Amazon Music is the perfection option	If you want to experience sound quality and cost is not barrier, then Apple Music is best option

How apple music is steam ahead than Amazon Music

I use Amazon music for a long time and been big fan of it. However, with recent announcements from Apple Music, with integration of Dolby atmos has changed situation altogether and usage of Amazon music have become questionable due to following reasons. 

• Support for Dolby atmos & Spatial audio: Apple has announced that it’s entire catalogue of music will have Dolby atmos support before end of the year. However, Amazon music has not made official announcement or commitment on launch of Dolby support for its music catalogue. Just announcement of Dolby support for its music catalogue will not impact its users, until there is official commitment on enabling it for all users. 
• Siri integration: I understand that Amazon music has Alexa voice assistant and was on par with Siri on identifying songs. However, for Alexa voice assistant to work, the music application should be open and cannot be summoned when iPhone is idle or if application is closed. 

Hope Amazon addresses above concerns at the earliest, so its loyal users don’t think of switching to another music platform and continues to stay with Amazon music. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the G R Team Sites.

Frustrated with my Manager for not supporting me

It has been long time since I have spoken about my work and the day-to-day activities that happen at my office. So, I would like to take this opportunity to detail some interesting tidbits that happened to me at my office. Unfortunately, after long time, the entire team got pulled into a large opportunity to work and to my bad luck, my manager was also requested to support this request. Here comes the frustrating part of working with my manager, the Offshore delivery lead was making lousy comment, even before starting work on the large opportunity. I was pulled into the discussion into last minute and with no insights available, I was just listening the conversations happening on the opportunity. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the offshore delivery lead assigned for this opportunity to support, made a comment that he was looking some senior lead to support and do not want support from Team members like me. After this comment, I was expecting my manger to defend the team and give it back to the delivery lead for such comments, when everyone was around. However, my manger was blessing with him and was conveying that he himself will be available to support. To know more about how I was roasted in the large opportunity with my manger, please feel free to check out the blog posts in G R Team Sites.

The zombie apocalypse will still happen?

The Covid-19 virus can mutate under the influence of the chimpanzee adenovirus. In other words, doctors may face a new, unexplored and extremely dangerous phenomenon, which modern medicine will not be able to fight against – such data was given by virologists in the United States and Spain.

⁃ The scenario of the Spanish flu epidemic, which claimed 100 million lives only according to official data, may be repeated. When a common flu strain mutated under the influence of external factors into a real unmanageable monster, says James Kenwood, a virologist of the Minigan Institute of Bacteriology.

⁃ Now the situation can be repeated if we influence it with a vaccine produced, let’s say, following a questionable technology. We have no clear evidence that the interaction of, for example, chimpanzee adenovirus and COVID-19 will not mutate and amplify the virus. Therefore, mixing viruses with each other is the last thing you need to do now, -says a virologist.

The shattered online Shopping experience

So, I was planning to get AirPods Pro and iPhone during this festive season provided, both products were available well under my budget requirements. The festive season finally kicked-off after much off promotional hype and advertisements, out of curiosity I was constantly checking the online shopping sites for updated pricing for AirPods Pro and iPhone 11. After a lengthy wait, the sale was opened to the public, the moment I saw reduced produce of the Apple AirPods Pro, I at once placed an order and paid the full amount. However, after a few moments later I realized that, I have not applied the coupon code and have paid a marginally higher price than the revised price. I still did not mind paying a marginally higher price, provided the price was not that high and I wanted to get the product as early as possible. Still, an unexpected thing happened to me, as while I was hoping to get a price drop for iPhone 11, the price was not decreased, and my plan was completely shattered.

Managed to finish the draft slides at the last moment

Therefore, the leadership team thrashed my manager for collecting irrelevant information and wasting everyone's time for the past week. However, my manager promised to share all the requested information in the next two days, which was a weekend and did not even bother to check my availability with short turnaround time. With no other options left, I had to work on weekends to collate the information requested by the leadership team and my manager has to follow up with all account owners. Without even getting the information from the account team, my manager started to pressurize me to share a draft version with available information and at one point I had to shout back at my manager to stop bothering me without any available information. Finally, towards the end of the day, I got some inputs from the account team and the shared information seemed too vague and irrelevant for the context. Again, with the available time I was able to share an initial version of the slides to the leadership team for review and to know more about their comments, please follow-up posts in "G R Team Sites"

Complications with this annoying opportunity

I was looped into the most irritating team to work by the manager after my long vacation and my manager shared some unnecessary inputs, which were irrelevant to the client requirements. I worked hard on collating slides as requested by my manager for the onsite team’s review and all the slides were thrown out due to conflicts in client requirements. Now, the onsite team shared new insights for the opportunity and the most frustrating part of working with this irritating onsite on this opportunity is that there will be no offshore support at any cost. This was completely deal breaker for me, as I would trust offshore counterpart to coordinate and complete the tasks assigned by onsite, and for this time, I would be completely ripped off due to my manager’s support. My manager has a habit of confusing and complicating simple things and would suggest irrelevant ideas for the opportunity and it would be thrown off by the onsite team. One additional complication in the assigned opportunity was that both the onsite team and my manager had ego issues and they would often argue on unnecessary things.

Early morning discussions with onsite team and complications

Therefore, after meticulously planning with clear details of the exact roles and responsibilities of each team member for the service request, I sent out the detailed mail to the onsite team for confirmation and I have also sent a recurring meeting invite in the morning for discussions. The next day early in the morning, I woke up early and started the meeting with the hope that the onsite team had spent some time and refined the document I had shared earlier. However, to my disappointment, the onsite team had not even touched the document and was reviewing it only in the meeting and I was getting furious about their attitude. Post review comments, I made a point to the onsite team that it would be really helpful if the onsite team had spent some time before the morning discussions so that we can have fruitful discussions from both parties. I don’t know these messages would have been received by the onsite team because I conveyed it with all leadership on the call and made minutes of meetings for the same. I just got mild acknowledgment from the onsite team and later on, the leadership team was also requesting the team to word on review comments shared by the client.
