Apple Music is built around two major components: iCloud Music Library, which combines your purchased music library and ripped tracks in one place; and the Apple Music streaming catalog.

The major benefit to apple music is that if you have already purchased music on iTunes then this will be located with your streamed music meaning all of your music is in one place. For apple users this is very appealing, but for those who are not native to apple their is nothing hugely appealing about apple music that Spotify or Deezer couldn't offer.
