I recently switched to TH-cam Music from Spotify because it's included in my TH-cam premium subscription. I've been a long time Spotify user but when I switched and imported all my playlists, I immediately noticed the algorithm is better in YTM. The Sound quality is pretty much on par with Spotify which is cool. I'm not sure if I'll go back to Spotify at this point. YTM has everything I need, plus no ads on TH-cam. Win - Win!
Same with me, I was using Spotify until mid 2023 and then for the ad free experience got yt primium.. Now I don't feel the need to go back to Spotify when I can enjoy music on ytm.
youtube music is void compared to spotify. 1 - YTM doesn't have search within playlist filter. 2 - It doesn't have agility to edit playlist in offline 3 - you can't add custom image to playlist 4 - YTM pc browser ver is sluggish and laggy compared to spotify pc app 5 - there is no option to turn off both of youtube music playlist and youtube video playlist appearing to both places
Used YT Music and haven’t looked back. Plus the addition of YT Premium, makes it so much worth it. I’ve used Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon music, you name it, and only YT has ALL the songs that I could not find in the other apps!
an important thing in my opinion that is not totally mentioned in the video is the possibility on TH-cam music to listen to long unofficial mixes and various covers. For example, my lofi pokemon themed playlist which doesn't exist on Spotify
Back in 2018 I uploaded my CD Library (which I had ripped to my PC) to Google Play Music and transferred them to TH-cam Music when GPM came to an end. This and ad-free TH-cam makes YTM my preferred Music Streaming service.
Yeah, this is what is making me strongly consider making the switch. I have a ton of mix tapes that I want to be able to listen to without switching platforms.
The biggest advantage of using youtube music is that it comes with ad-free youtube. With youtube heavily restricting adblockers, youtube premium combo with ytm is the way to go
You ever notice how for some songs people in the comments on TH-cam ask “why isn’t this on spotify” or “why did spotify and apple music take this down??”. I can have MANY different versions of the songs that i listen to AND many unknown artists/songs🤷♂️. Thats what sells it for me.
I want to start using YT music but it uses the same subscriptions and playlists as TH-cam, where following an artist = subscribing to their channel. I spend so much time in TH-cam that I don't want it to mess with my subscriptions. As soon as they add a way to separate the two, I'm game.
Me too!! I'm a TH-cam addict but I separate that from my Spotify preferences. I hate it when my TH-cam preferences show up in YT Music. They should give some option to separate those.
That's what's keep me from using youtube music too. I hate it, it's so messy. I don't want a random video I watched on TH-cam appearing on my music lists.
Here's another great YTM feature, samples! Try it out, its awesome and another feature, it remembers your playlist, let's say if you were to save a song to a playlist, you select a playlist from the pop up and the next time you save another song, it saves that song to that playlist without popups
i got my yt premium student for $2.50 per month in my country and it gives anything what i need, ad free youtube for studying and watch contents, unlimited songs, smart download is a real game changer, as someone who forgot stuff easily. the downside is you can't separate your playlists from yt which kinda irritates me 🤣 like at least give us a feature to hide the playlist?
My biggest complaint with YT Music is it doesn't have a fast scroll pop-up on the side when scrolling down list. Yes, you can search for the specific song which might be faster but its just simple UI stuff that this app is missing...
Spotify connect is honestly one of the things i miss in yt music, listening to music on an echo device without pairing or starting a playlist on your watch but play it on the phone are pretty useful features
Spotify Connect is the one thing keeping on Spotify. I use Spotify Connect RELIGIOUSLY. I would LOVE to use TH-cam music, but its lack of its own "Spotify Connect"-like feature is why I don't use it.
The coolest thing about YT Music is that you can make a new alt channel just for music under the same email 🤌🏼 doesn't mix with your playlists, watch history, all that. Same email, same subscription

I had a couple issues with TH-cam Music. First, a surprising number of my favorite podcasts aren't even on it. Yeah, I could just use a separate app for those podcasts, but that's annoying. Second, I had a lot of issues with buffering regardless of whether I was on Wifi or my mobile network. At first I thought it might be an issue with my phone. But I don't have that issue with Spotify, TH-cam, or any other app besides TH-cam Music. Still, it's been about a year now since I tried it. Maybe it's time to give it another shot.
TH-cam Music is great, but one issue I've found is that sometimes the music I add dissappears after a while from my library, it seems to try to determine which songs I listen to the most and then keeps those songs in the library and deletes the rest, leaving my library at a total of 520 songs, however, my tastes are varied and always end up getting bored, so I created a playlist with all the 920 songs I like, but, the amount of songs actually makes the playlist too heavy and it causes the webpage to fail, the Android app works ok. Not sure if Spotify has this issue too, but, I will be testing Amazon Music to see if this is an issue there as well.
And I like TH-cam Music because it saves every song you play on TH-cam into YT Music and besides on YT music you can listen to literally any songs if it’s, sped up, slowed, sped + reverb, slowed + Reverb and even Edit Audios!
I have a TH-cam Premium such as I love for the 4 years now, I was paying $120 annually, NOW I wants to renew it gonna expire next month & see jumped to $140 a year.. I paid it anyway ,but That's a crazy jump!!!
i like youtube music because you can literally listen to anything on that app. you can listen to unreleased music and music that was taken off of other streaming platforms. and also sometimes music videos have a version of the song that sounds better than the one one streaming platforms. you can also listen to live versions.
gyattdamn the tune my music is a lifesaver. i tried it and transferred all my spotify liked songs and playlists to youtube music within minutes. thank you sponsor!
bro it's the same previous year's comparison video footage reused you should have told your audience to rewatch that video , we would have happily done that
This is one of the best sponsored ad tie-in's I've seen. Considering going from Apple Music to YT Music myself, seeing as pay for YT Premium anyway due to the ad-block clamp down. Seems like great value for money!
My only problems with YT Music is that I wish it saved the playlist to the app itself rather than syncing it with base YT. My playlist are a mess because of it. Also wish you’d be able to use your own custom art for playlist though sort of understandable why that’s not a thing yet, but I refuse to use their AI “art” bs
I really like the spotify green but I feel YT music is better ( it would be good if the subscribers have the ability to control the interface colour, like I would put green as a app icon and inside the app, but I guess red is the signature of YT)
I mainly use Spotify for podcasts, heck i didnt even know TH-cam music had podcast built-in. I wish Spotify wrapped also imcluded the podcasts you've listened to, that'll make the app even better than it already is.
I tried the TH-cam music for a month and it’s pretty good imo. Spotify as a pretty awesome algorithm but I’ll stick with Apple Music for the audio quality (lossless and Spatial Audio) great video.
For me, the feature that keeps me on Spotify and prevents me from switching is the Spotify API. Spotify provides an API to manage my playlists (read or modify my tracks and playlists). I have a huge music library that I keep meticulously managed. With the Spotify API I can do this much better than what the official app or website allows. For people who aren't into programming, this is still beneficial since there are tons of user created tools that are based on the Spotify API.
Both apps have similar sound quality. TH-cam music uses AAC 256kbps and Spotify uses OBB Vorbis 320kbps format 😊 Basically both platforms have the same sound quality
Here's the thing, I was about to renew Spotify yearly subscription just before this video recommendation came. So, I downloaded YT Music and gave it a go. Surprisingly, most of the songs I listen to sound better on YTM than Spotify, it has deeper bass, vibrant mids and clear highs. I don't understand why but as far as I know 320bit OGG should sound similar to 256bit AAC which YTM uses. Maybe it's Spotify encoding issue or something else. Anyway, I switched onto YTM and the bonus is I get ad free videos as well, I'm happy now.
I used both and for my use case, Spotify seems like a music app, YT Music seems like it's trying to play catch-up with Spotify. As other ppl pointed out in the comments, YT music is laggy on desktop, Spotify app isn't, and it looks nicer. You can't even sort playlists on YT Music web app. You can't add playlist backgrounds. I also use TH-cam itself mostly on desktop, where I got an adblocker, so I already have "premium" for free. Also I'm finding the fact that I can just pick up my phone and resume music where I left on desktop great, or pause it for desktop and vice versa. In this circumstance Spotify has the edge for now. Will revisit the topic in 1 year or so.
You actually listed a few of my personal reasons for my TH-cam music is better. The bundle with TH-cam for TH-cam premium is clutch. I have 50,000 songs from my own collection uploaded. Some of those are songs I can't find anywhere. In the fact that they pull music from TH-cam gives me access to mixtapes, live music and covers They don't officially exist on any other streaming platform.
I'm a YTM user myself and the only thing I hate about it is the way they do the 'add to queue' feature. When you add a song in the queue, it goes to the very bottom of the list or sometimes it's nowhere to be found. The 'play next' feature doesn't help either. When you add 5 songs to play next, the last song you added will play next like LIFO 😂
I’m a YT Premium member who couldn’t care less about downloading, lists, or YT telling me what to listen to. I know what I want to hear. Why are so many songs missing? I just pulled up the soundtrack to Atomic Blonde and can only play 6 of 16 songs. The rest are grayed out.
Can i sort out songs inside a playlist alphabetically in TH-cam Music? I tried it in my free account and can't find option. That is the only thing letting me stay in Spotify 😅
I have TH-cam Premium family plan I share and Spotify Premium. I pretty much just use TH-cam Premium for TH-cam and not TH-cam Music. I know I have TH-cam Music and in some ways it does have some features that I want that Spotify doesn't have, but I primarily use Spotify because of Spotify Connect and Last FM scrobbling.
Spotify increased their prices and I was not for it, especially since the taxes add an additional 2-3$. 😂 I canceled my Netflix (never even used it), activated my student benefits, canceled Spotify and told my friend to fiend for themselves or use my account😂😂😂 TH-cam’s gonna be my only subscription❤😂
I switch to YT Music in 2016 and have not turned back. Paying for Premium makes it even better... Also, if you find that long mix by your favorite DJ on TH-cam then you can play it on YT Music w/o issues...
Just switched to TH-cam. The only good thing is the larger library. I’d say for me it’s unusable, TH-cam lets you make a queue for music but it simply doesn’t work and is too difficult to Q songs or add a song to the Q. Spotifys UI is just far superior
last I used youtube music and god dammit I just loved him but one thing that made me move back to Spotify is Spotify Connect and youtube music is not available on ps5 if it is available on ps5 I'll easily move back to youtube because youtube music has the best algorithms and how he's evolving I think I'll be happier with them
TH-cam Music is just such a good deal. I got a family bundle which cost me approximately only double the price of an individual Spotify subscription. Me and 5 members of my family get to use it alongside the ad-free TH-cam and it makes Spotify’s pricing just look horrible by comparison.
Just checked my settings for the video playback toggle mentioned at 1:56 but I don't see that in my settings. Is that just an Apple thing, or is this video outdated?
I've never used Spotify. I use TH-cam music because I'm a convert from Google Play music. I find the app painfully cluttered. If it's really less cluttered than Spotify, then...all I have to say is wow!
I've been wanting to switch over to TH-cam premium family since Spotify is almost about to match that price without offering as much as youtube premium.. But there's so many missing features on TH-cam music...
You didn't mention that TH-cam music lets you upload .flac files and well play them without having to convert anything. That's how I originally got started with Google music which eventually ended up being TH-cam music
When you play a song in a playlist of youtube music, it will only have around 50 songs of your playlist in your queue (or up next as they call it in youtube music). When you press shuffle while listening to this queue, it will only shuffle these 50 tracks, not your entire playlist (when your playlist succeeds around 50 songs), Streaming via chromecast vs spotify connect or spotify on a chromecast enabled devive is also a nightmare. Spotfiy has this figured out a lot better than youtube music.
For music enthusiasts, apple music is the right choice between price and quality. Spotify is good but, the quality far behind apple music. TH-cam music UI somewhat unpleasant for me. Im using mac and android phone so apple music is the best choice. Sync library is another benefit. BUT apple music user interface not good as spotify.
The issues with shuffle or smart shuffle on Spotify made me switch to YT music. The algorithm is a lot better on YT music and I can discover a lot more music or artists
Having switched from Spotify to YT Music a few months ago, I can confidently say that I prefer Spotify hands down. YT music is buggy, has a terrible queue system and I always run into issues when playing music offline or when playing “downloaded” music with a weak connection. While it has some great features (outlined in this video), it’s just such a more difficult experience than Spotify is. That said, the inclusion of TH-cam premium is what’s keeping me. If Google ever drops the Premium and Music joint subscription, I’ll be going back to Spotify
They won’t drop it they will just keep increasing the price. But I agree, YTM sounds great but still needs a tad bit more polishing up before it can replace Spotify for me.
TH-cam Music would have been super awesome if only they upgraded the audio quality. TH-cam Music just doesn't sound good at all when you stream music through speakers like HomePods.
Went from Spotify to Apple Music and now TH-cam Music. It felt much better + I got ads free youtube so it's a 2in1 deal. Audio quality is ass tho but not a big deal bc it still sounds okay
I started using YT Music because I was already paying for YT Premium so it didn't make any sense to pay for Spotify. Also, the app is better, since they actually care about Android, even the tablet version
TH-cam music i have tried out but the playlist when you do that are stored together with your videos of TH-cam playlist and there is not indication that is a video or audio playlist so it's really confusing and if use in the car you could be playing an video instead of your favorite artist album
For my thoughts, well TH-cam Music and Spotify are just the same and sadly you have to have premium which is tragically a mistake. However, I prefer TH-cam much better and Itunes. Itunes is the reason becuz I don't have to worry about premium
Disadvantages Spotify: blocking an artist or song is impossible, interface all facing towards spam of totally different music and artist you don't want, very little tweak room and seems to be developed mostly for young (new) listeners.

I also use TH-cam itself mostly on desktop, where I got an adblocker, so I already have "premium" for free.
Also I'm finding the fact that I can just pick up my phone and resume music where I left on desktop great, or pause it for desktop and vice versa.
In this circumstance Spotify has the edge for now.
Will revisit the topic in 1 year or so.
You actually listed a few of my personal reasons for my TH-cam music is better. The bundle with TH-cam for TH-cam premium is clutch. I have 50,000 songs from my own collection uploaded. Some of those are songs I can't find anywhere. In the fact that they pull music from TH-cam gives me access to mixtapes, live music and covers They don't officially exist on any other streaming platform.
I'm a YTM user myself and the only thing I hate about it is the way they do the 'add to queue' feature. When you add a song in the queue, it goes to the very bottom of the list or sometimes it's nowhere to be found. The 'play next' feature doesn't help either. When you add 5 songs to play next, the last song you added will play next like LIFO 😂
True💔
I’m a YT Premium member who couldn’t care less about downloading, lists, or YT telling me what to listen to. I know what I want to hear. Why are so many songs missing? I just pulled up the soundtrack to Atomic Blonde and can only play 6 of 16 songs. The rest are grayed out.
Can i sort out songs inside a playlist alphabetically in TH-cam Music? I tried it in my free account and can't find option. That is the only thing letting me stay in Spotify 😅
TH-cam music has EVERY song.
the youtube algo is top notch and there's no way i can go back to having multiple ads on EVERY SINGLE youtube video!
quality wise which is better?
On my TH-cam music when I like songs it saves to my library
I use both youtube music and apple music
Same here love youtube music and apple music I got both of em on my Android phone never switch back to spotify
I have TH-cam Premium family plan I share and Spotify Premium. I pretty much just use TH-cam Premium for TH-cam and not TH-cam Music. I know I have TH-cam Music and in some ways it does have some features that I want that Spotify doesn't have, but I primarily use Spotify because of Spotify Connect and Last FM scrobbling.
Yeah Spotify connect is a major reason holding me back.
If you want higher quality on YTmusic just change up the bit rate in settings. High bit rate is same as Apple.
Spotify increased their prices and I was not for it, especially since the taxes add an additional 2-3$. 😂 I canceled my Netflix (never even used it), activated my student benefits, canceled Spotify and told my friend to fiend for themselves or use my account😂😂😂
TH-cam’s gonna be my only subscription❤😂
I switch to YT Music in 2016 and have not turned back. Paying for Premium makes it even better... Also, if you find that long mix by your favorite DJ on TH-cam then you can play it on YT Music w/o issues...
Just switched to TH-cam. The only good thing is the larger library. I’d say for me it’s unusable, TH-cam lets you make a queue for music but it simply doesn’t work and is too difficult to Q songs or add a song to the Q. Spotifys UI is just far superior
last I used youtube music and god dammit I just loved him but one thing that made me move back to Spotify is Spotify Connect and youtube music is not available on ps5 if it is available on ps5 I'll easily move back to youtube because youtube music has the best algorithms and how he's evolving I think I'll be happier with them
TH-cam Music is just such a good deal. I got a family bundle which cost me approximately only double the price of an individual Spotify subscription. Me and 5 members of my family get to use it alongside the ad-free TH-cam and it makes Spotify’s pricing just look horrible by comparison.
For me it comes down to personal preference and for me it's Spotify.
Just checked my settings for the video playback toggle mentioned at 1:56 but I don't see that in my settings. Is that just an Apple thing, or is this video outdated?
You need premium to do that
It's under Data saving in settings for Android
I've never used Spotify. I use TH-cam music because I'm a convert from Google Play music. I find the app painfully cluttered. If it's really less cluttered than Spotify, then...all I have to say is wow!
I've been wanting to switch over to TH-cam premium family since Spotify is almost about to match that price without offering as much as youtube premium.. But there's so many missing features on TH-cam music...
i just released some music and the front runner is youtube music, most plays, and highest pay at .008 per stream. Very pleased.
You didn't mention that TH-cam music lets you upload .flac files and well play them without having to convert anything. That's how I originally got started with Google music which eventually ended up being TH-cam music
When you play a song in a playlist of youtube music, it will only have around 50 songs of your playlist in your queue (or up next as they call it in youtube music). When you press shuffle while listening to this queue, it will only shuffle these 50 tracks, not your entire playlist (when your playlist succeeds around 50 songs),
Streaming via chromecast vs spotify connect or spotify on a chromecast enabled devive is also a nightmare. Spotfiy has this figured out a lot better than youtube music.
You can't beat the integration with TH-cam Premium.
Guys, is it convenient to use YTM without YT Premium?
i love my youtube premiun, better recommendations and more content, the ability to see comments and opinions and listen, COVERS, EDITS, ORGINALS songs
Spotify Connect and Jam's win it for me every single time!
For music enthusiasts, apple music is the right choice between price and quality.
Spotify is good but, the quality far behind apple music. TH-cam music UI somewhat unpleasant for me.
Im using mac and android phone so apple music is the best choice. Sync library is another benefit. BUT apple music user interface not good as spotify.
The issues with shuffle or smart shuffle on Spotify made me switch to YT music. The algorithm is a lot better on YT music and I can discover a lot more music or artists
❤hello lm from Vietnam watching you sai thanks you for sharing
how to find popular songs like on spotify? yt music doesn't recommend me. i need to manually search for the singer
Having switched from Spotify to YT Music a few months ago, I can confidently say that I prefer Spotify hands down. YT music is buggy, has a terrible queue system and I always run into issues when playing music offline or when playing “downloaded” music with a weak connection. While it has some great features (outlined in this video), it’s just such a more difficult experience than Spotify is. That said, the inclusion of TH-cam premium is what’s keeping me. If Google ever drops the Premium and Music joint subscription, I’ll be going back to Spotify
They won’t drop it they will just keep increasing the price. But I agree, YTM sounds great but still needs a tad bit more polishing up before it can replace Spotify for me.
I wouldn't know. TH-cam Music isn't available in my country. I was hoping they would bring it after taking away @google Podcasts, but nope!
TH-cam Music would have been super awesome if only they upgraded the audio quality. TH-cam Music just doesn't sound good at all when you stream music through speakers like HomePods.
Which apps allow for slowing down and looping features.
My new pixel came with TH-cam music pre installed
How can I download music to listen to while on a cruise?
Went from Spotify to Apple Music and now TH-cam Music. It felt much better + I got ads free youtube so it's a 2in1 deal. Audio quality is ass tho but not a big deal bc it still sounds okay
Cool story
I started using YT Music because I was already paying for YT Premium so it didn't make any sense to pay for Spotify. Also, the app is better, since they actually care about Android, even the tablet version
TH-cam music i have tried out but the playlist when you do that are stored together with your videos of TH-cam playlist and there is not indication that is a video or audio playlist so it's really confusing and if use in the car you could be playing an video instead of your favorite artist album
desperately want a dedicated YT Music Windows/Mac app😤
With Microsoft Edge you can easily install the web version as an app
@@Papayaw856 We can in chrome too, but it is just not that good, the lyrics are not time synced and look ugly, we can't download songs, etc
Only downside is youtube music crashes and lags so much it's painful, trying to listen to music is annoying
Can you listen to the music with screen off on TH-cam music like Spotify?
with premium yes , without no
Spotify Connect is what’s keeping me, as I listen on a lot of different devices.
For my thoughts, well TH-cam Music and Spotify are just the same and sadly you have to have premium which is tragically a mistake. However, I prefer TH-cam much better and Itunes. Itunes is the reason becuz I don't have to worry about premium
I use TH-cam music because I already have yt premium, and I don’t want to pay for another music subscription as I don’t listen to music that much
Disadvantages Spotify: blocking an artist or song is impossible, interface all facing towards spam of totally different music and artist you don't want, very little tweak room and seems to be developed mostly for young (new) listeners.
How Can i fade in and out in TH-cam music? I use ios
TH-cam music isn’t playing in the background 😢
Yeah if you don't have premium
Does TH-cam have any audiobook, podcast, and so on?
yes
The only thing with YT music is that the sound quality is not as good.
How to search a song on YTM and remove from the playlist via mobile app? I have to find the song that’s playing manually, that’s weird!
Guys, the features are good and all but it's not to the fullest quality, at least not even lossless.
