I have tried both Apple Music as well as the unlimited Amazon Music subscription. They are both good, but I went with the unlimited Amazon Music because it seems that a few of the artist that I like to listen to was not available on Apple Music, but was available on Amazon Music. I can not speak to how accessible it is to purchase music from Amazon Music because I do not really buy music anymore. I just listen to what I want through my subscription.
