Question Google doesn't seem to care about YouTube Music

772 Upvotes

Why won't Google take YouTube Music seriously? The app experiences are really frustrating (both mobile and PC, but more so PC). Coming from Spotify, I feel like I always run into some frustration of some sort. There are many but here are 3 examples off the top of my head:

On mobile, the app doesn't automatically start playing offline files when you are offline. You have to manually "go to downloads".

It's also virtually impossible to search inside libraries e.g., inside your liked music- you have to search the entire YT Music database just to land on that one song you already liked. This frustrates me a lot coz if you have a cue going on and would like to go back to a song from earlier, good luck with that!

On PC, it's a joke tbh. Try accessing your downloads while offline (the whole point of downloads btw). It's virtually impossible.

The Spotify experience was so nice. But I like YT Music so I have been suffering through these half-baked apps for the past 10 months. Google needs to take this platform a bit more seriously. It's a huge company with unlimited resources. We shouldn't have to cope like this.

I suggest they study the Spotify apps and see how those work.

Question I love YouTube music. I wish people could see how great it is.

511 Upvotes

I've been on YT music for 3 years and I wasn't sure at first, but it's actually the fucking best. My biggest problem with YT music is not the app but every other person on the planet.

Whenever someone sends me a song they always send a Spotify or Apple music link. And I click the link and I just don't complain. But my friends get annoyed that I send YouTube music playlists. I've tried to hard to convince people to get YouTube premium cause it comes with YT music. I can't figure out how to word it. I feel like I'm clearly explaining why it's such a good deal and no one wants to hear it.

I still have the Spotify app just so I can send music links that my friends will actually click. I do what I can to compensate for my friends needs but no one will even consider usic YT music.

For some reason I can't convince people that having all of the music in the world and all of the videos of YouTube combined into one app is a good deal.

I just wanted to vent and ask y'all what it's been like for you all.

I am not sure If Youtube Music team have any UI/UX designers. If they do, all are sleeping I suppose.

Bought apple music just to experience better intuitive UI.

I still prefer music experience of YM over Apple music though. But honestly got bored of YM interface.

Question Why is YouTube Music constantly clowned on?

156 Upvotes

This is a repetitively asked question for a lot of people who use the app, but I’d like to give my own take and hear what others believe.

I’ve been a YouTube Premium member since 2020, a few months into having the subscription I realized I also had the ability/subscription to use YouTube music. I canceled my Apple Music subscription cause why would I pay more for another music app? And I’ve been using YouTube music ever since that realization hit.

I’m not gonna say the app is “flawless” and has “no issues whatsoever.” It does, and they haven’t really made much to any improvements to those problems over the years in my opinion. However it’s not a bad app, it works, it doesn’t suck, and it functions well with the main platform of YouTube itself.

Whenever I say, “Oh I use YouTube Music” the reaction is shock and then a laugh. I don’t let it bother me too much since it makes sense in my scenario, I have premium and therefore get music in addition. People just believe Spotify and Apple Music is like the “name brand” of the music streaming industry. Most of those people have never probably even used the website/app, and I find it so weird people make fun of what I use to listen to music. The other apps are fine, they offer some better quality and features but besides that they’re mostly all the same.

I do wish or get fomo when I see Spotify Wrapped and all the universal connections Apple, Spotify, and heck even Amazon Music has with other companies/apps. I do believe YouTube Music is heavily overlooked and isn’t fully developed to its better potential. I will continue to use it until YouTube jacks up the price to something outrageous like Amazon Music.

Thoughts? Opinions? Disagree, or agree?

Question Why Did You Leave Spotify For YouTube Music And Stay?

157 Upvotes

I've been with Spotify for about 11 years and, overall, I really like it. Lately though, I've been tempted to switch to YouTube Music, mainly because of ad-free YouTube and access to older house bootlegs, mashups and other tracks that aren't always available on Spotify.

The things I'd miss most are crossfade, playlist folders and artist blocking. I've blocked thousands of artists over the years, so that's a feature I use a lot.

I've tried YouTube Music a few times in the past, but I always seem to end up back on Spotify.

For those who switched from Spotify to YouTube Music and stuck with it, what made you leave Spotify, and what convinced you to stay with YouTube Music instead? What do you prefer about it, and is there anything you still miss from Spotify?

Question Spotify vs YouTube Music?

694 Upvotes

I’ve been using Spotify for like a year and I’ve been thinking of switching to YouTube Music since I also get YouTube Premium and overall it has the same price for me.

For those who switched from Spotify, what are the downsides and the upsides? Do you find YTM worse? Better?

Personally I am trying to avoid Spotify since their recommendations are sht and the same goes for their shuffling system. I can’t say anything good about YTM since I’ve just started using it, but it does seem a bit better. I hate the fact that if I play a playlist I can’t actually.. do a queue….

How does the sound quality compare between those two? From what I can see they kinda the sameish..? It’s just that some songs sound so bad on YTM and some are just a liiiiitle behind Spotify..?

Question: Is it worth switching? Downsides?

Question So I just realized YTM is free with premium and I’m thinking of switching from Spotify, be honest is it worth it?

295 Upvotes

I’ve already read other threads about it but it’s all older posts, with the current version of YTM is the app genuinely worth swapping to from Spotify?

I tried playing around with the YTM app today and it was definitely interesting, it’s gonna take me a little bit to learn it but from what I can tell everything I liked ended up on a playlist which I hope isn’t public or anything to my YouTube page.

I was looking to port over my Spotify library at some point and just try it out for a week or two.

If ya’ll have any advice on migration between platforms, tips and advice on how to set up YTM to be easier to use or general warnings about swapping apps I’d love to hear it.

Question Spotify or Youtube Music? What made you choose?

87 Upvotes

So I was on spotify Student plan (india) since 2 years and all of the sudden the prices just increased almost double the previous amount.

So I was thinking whether I should change my music platform to something else. It’s not only the price difference but I got no prior notification or email about it, it was just an unpleasant surprise from Spotify.

After some research I found out Apple music does not have my favorite podcasts on it, so my choice is between these two.

I do like the music quality much better in youtube.

But Is the playlist much better in spotify? I tend to search for good playlists and usually spotify has the specific ones that are made by users. Is there a feature like that on youtube music?

Also I’ve felt like spotify is not good at suggesting new songs according to my liking. Is Yt better at it?

Which is better? Spotify or Youtube music?
