I really want to like Apple Music but Spotify just works

I'm 2 months in to a 3 month trial of Apple Music. I knew there would be a bit of a learning curve coming from 10 years of Spotify, but I didn't expect so many gaps in basic functionality. I can't create new playlists (yes I've signed in and out, restarted and updated my device etc). There are often lags/gaps between songs. I have to download and pay for a whole separate app to scrobble songs that aren't in my library. I can't do handoffs. I'd really like to stay with AM but if I can't create playlists or listen to music seamlessly, there's no point.
