No. mirethMusic and Apple Music do not do the same thing. Apple Music is a portal for Apple to sell you additional content whereas mirethMusic is a tool for you to manage your content.

Here is a list of the key differences provided by mirethMusic:
– supports OGG (Ogg Vorbis) ripping and playback
– supports FLAC playback
– supports Unencrypted-WMA playback
– plays the audio from video files, MP4, AVI, and WEBM
– burns DVD-Audio
– can rip a CD to multiple formats at the same time
– can convert MP4 video (like a YouTube download) to an audio file
– adds your folders to your music library
– can insert ID3v1 tags as it burns an MP3 CD for improved car MP3 player support
– converts from Stereo to Mono, so you can listen to music with one ear free, without modifying the original file on your computer
– supports flash based music players (like Jumpdisk MP3, etc)
– converts to AM, FM, or CD quality, so you can fit more music on a flash flash, without modifying the original file on your computer
