I love the fact that you can listen to unreleased songs and the live performances on TH-cam Music without having to download stuff.
That’s the main reason I switched to using it lol
@@electricvehiclehead it’s a plus for me but i switched cause of yt premium 😂
@@good-tn9sr same dude. It makes it a really good value. It had really become my favorite music service. I have used all the major ones for at least a year. Hell, I even used tidal. Lol
How
anime songs got me to switch
Very underrated, it has all the music you can wish for.
I would love a UI revamping though
I like the UI tho
But Spotify also does
And a dedicated desktop app
@@cjlc93 Spotify has that too.
@@priyanshu.sharma.0002 it looks like shit
Been using TH-cam music since 2021. Haven't left since. No Spotify needed
Me too
Spotify recently updated the UI for adding a song to playlists, allowing you to select multiple at once, and for this feature alone I can’t go anywhere else lol. But glad you guys are finding it enjoyable
same
I absolutely love TH-cam music. What you think about podcasts being added ?
I’ve discovered more new music on TH-cam music than I ever did on Spotify or Apple.
Same here, especially using the tuner
@@ronnylovecraft3714 Eb Standard was a banger!
Me too, that's why I love it!!
Same 99% of my music library is now stuff the algorithm showed me
@@marvinvogtdeyeah same the discovery capabilities are amazing
I've had TH-cam premium for a year or so. Love not having ads and TH-cam music works for me.
As a TH-cam Premium/Music subscriber myself I couldn’t agree more! (I have the annual plan) The main reason I switched (from Apple Music) was because of the wider range of song selections especially in more niche genres.
Put On Aerosmith's Greatest Hits Album Cover On TH-cam Music And Topic Of 1980 Aerosmith's Greatest Hits Album Cover On
Agreed! TH-cam premium + music is so good, and people would look at me funny when I said I use TH-cam music instead of Spotify, which I find really weird and annoying as people don't know the potential it has. It is also really good value, after using it for a year and a half I have to say it is really worth it, to have ad free normal TH-cam and TH-cam music too.
I’ve had Google Play Music All Access since launch in 2013 at the $7.99/month rate locked in. Now with the transition to TH-cam Music and TH-cam Premium perks all grandfathered in, this is a killer deal for 1 individual.
The algorithm for the different automated Mixes and autoplay based on choosing a single song is unmatched!
That's insane wish I was you
Lol. I pay $2/mo because I signed up and got grad fathered in by using a Indian VPN. I pay for Premium and Music in Indian currency which translates to just $2/mo.
same! I started off with GPM back in 2012!
Man had I not gotten a family and updated so they can use it too, I would also have that killer $7.99 rate. That thing was a STEAL.
@@FinnishArmy dam you I wish but good shit bro👌😌
Night and day difference between TH-cam Music and others is that with YTM you need to interact with the app even less than other apps. With others you have to every now and then to open the app to skip a song or do something since the app gets you wrong. With TH-cam Music you don’t need to do that. You press play, get on with your life and the app presents you what you actually want to listen without needing to think about it.
Well I switched to TH-cam music, because it came along with premium bundle. 😂
The fact that you get TH-cam premium which means you save days of your life in total from no ads, makes it worth it
FACTS! I use it everyday day alongside regular TH-cam Premium. Getting both for one price is an amazing deal.
TH-cam Premium makes it a killer deal. Switched from Apple Music a few months back and don’t miss it all.
I started subscribing to TH-cam Premium in November and I could literally never go back.. I watch sooo much TH-cam that it’s worth it. Haven’t used TH-cam music, as I still have Apple Music
One thing to note about TH-cam music is that the Chromecast experience is the best. When you're casting to a group of speakers and want to move the music around dynamically to different speakers in the Home App the YT Music app stays connected. So if you have a bunch of Chromecast audio devices in your home like I do it makes it very easy to cast and not get frustrated with things getting disconnected. So I can cast on my indoor speakers and then when I go outside I can add my deck speakers and not get disconnected and the music is seamlessly added to the new speaker. Another thing that works really well on TH-cam Music casting is you can have multiple people join the casting session and both can add songs to the playlist which is neat when you have people over.
For Talosive Historians, let it be known that this video appeared as a podcast first, then time time later it showed up as a video. Normally it’s the other way around if I recall right. What happens this time? I don’t know.
I had TH-cam Music and when I added 200+ song in to my playlist it started to be laggy, when I wanted to change a song there was a 5 second loading lol, now Im on spotify and happy
True
The automated play lists and moods are solid, love it
TH-cam Music is Goated, for some reason my Account doesn’t get ads so I just start my playlist, lower my brightness to the minimum, and put my phone faced down. Listen to all the Sonic Music I want to for Free without ads!
New Pipe is better 💀
Stop it. You’re making me question my choice of Apple Music 😂
I’ve been considering trying the trials of the other services to see if one suits me more and you’ve re awakened the curiosity
Also have Apple Music and trust me it truly does make me question my decision. There’s plenty of songs from artist that I follow that just aren’t available on Apple Music but on TH-cam Music
@@allenmobley8444 I wonder if TH-cam music has an app for apple CarPlay like Spotify or Apple Music does cause I havent seen it
@@Carfan678 Apple CarPlay does have a TH-cam Music app. I use it daily
@@allenmobley8444 Basically, if you can find the song/video on TH-cam, it will be on TH-cam Music. And also having no ads on regular TH-cam is icing on the cake. :)
I don't have TH-cam Premium or Spotify Premium, but I end up using TH-cam Music a lot because they actually allow you to choose songs on mobile (as opposed to Spotify). Also, on both mobile and desktop, Spotify seems to have significantly more ads, but I generally prefer it's interface on desktop.
I've never used spotify, so I'm a bit confused, wdym by spotify not allowing you to pick songs?
@Ewokpilot65 Basically if you search for a specific song to play on spotify, it'll start a playlist type of thing that adds other songs and you have to basically hope that the song you want to listen to is the one that starts playing first. While with youtube, you just simply search for the song, play it, let the ad play and you are able to listen. That's also if you don't pay for premium, if you ever decide to use spotify I highly recommend paying for a membership because the free version is almost unusable because of the amount of ads there are.
@@trinityloneeagle wow that's horrible, and you can't even skip songs I assume.
@Ewokpilot65 You can but on the free version of spotify you're limited to 6 skips an hour. It can become very irritating lol
Been using it for 3+ years. LOVE IT!!
I switched to TH-cam Music from Apple Music almost a year ago, and haven’t looked back. It’s not as stylish, but it works really well, and I have all the music I want. And once the algorithm is trained a little bit, it really is great at giving me songs I want to listen to.
But I think sound clearity is more on Apple music
The problem is sound quality :/
After switching to tidal I want nothing else. Everything sounds so clear.
Do you use wireless headphones?
@@Alex-hv3ir With wireless headphones you can still notice the improved quality, but ofc it’s not that good.
I use tidal on the pc when I want full sound quality , with my focusrite interface and dt770 pro, and when I want convenience I use wireless with sony xm3.
Thank you for the fresh take on YT Music. Seems like all the videos out there are two to three years old when the UI wasn’t so great. I personally have no major issues with YT Music, especially combined with YT Premium. The only thing I wish they offered is a “Download All” button within the songs tab. YT Music allows you to download all songs within a playlist or if you want to download all songs in an album but I find myself not selecting every song from albums to save within my library. Spotify and Apple Music have this feature and it’s something that I miss. I’m having to download all my songs individually and it’s a pain in the ass. Not sure how it happened but because I was downloading so many songs the app started behaving incredibly slow and ultimately started draining my iPhone battery significantly. I had to delete and reinstall the app to correct this so all the time I put into downloading my songs pretty much was a waste of time. SMH.
YT Music has TERRIBLE UI for making playlists is the biggest con.
Spotify just made their UI worse so now the playing fields somewhat even ffs.
I actually use youtube music for free, well... a modified youtube music app that removes ads and adds background play. The only reason I'm not paying for it, is because I can't.
been using youtube music for over 2 years!! love it OH GOOD EVENING DREW!!
THANKS FOR THIS COMPARATIVE VIDEO MAN
Yeah I can't do without youtube premium is just amazing and I probably watch youtube far to much so I do enjoy not having adds way more and personally I don't really notice much if any difference between those other music services, I'm sure that they are there but honestly if you are just trying to enjoy music yt music does in my opinion a fantastic job
TH-cam Music has concerts and bootlegs that are on TH-cam but never officially released so are unavailable on Apple Music, Spotify. Huge advantage to YTM. 🎶
TH-cam premium would be worth it even without TH-cam music… but TH-cam music is also great. I signed up for premium for the ad free TH-cam and the mobile features, but tried TH-cam music and it’s been my main music source ever since. I think higher bitrates etc would be a nice option but it’s far from a dealbreaker for me
TH-cam music is amazing to me. Especially the algorithm and the synchronization between TH-cam if you hit the like button the recommendations become top tier the more you use it. Make ale another video after 1or3 months of use and I think your opinion of will be completely different
Apple Music found smash into pieces for me and I’m going my second concert of theirs. Apple Music radio definitely got better
I just wish they fix the desktop app. Playlist icons become laggy once you go over 50 songs in a list.
As a TH-cam Premium subscriber, I'm trying out TH-cam Music to see if I should cancel Apple Music. Although I love how you can watch the music video straight from the player, there are some minor things that frustrate me. The biggest one is that I have to select shuffle every time I play a song, which defaults to playing songs in alphabetical order and sometimes by artist. Also, not a fan of the UI and the CarPlay app
How are you finding it a couple weeks later? I joined when it was still bundled with Google play music. I miss that app a lot
@@LearningLife77 it’s ok. Although it has every song I want, it has too many bugs. I have decided to cancel TH-cam Premium and keep Apple Music
yeesh 5months later and that $119 jumped to $139
On the topic of podcasts in the video, are you going to move the tech podcast and ev podcast to the main channel now that there is a dedicated podcast tab on channel pages (similar to the videos, shorts, and live tabs) a few months ago on a livestream you said you would if they added it
Comentario en español:
Las ganas que tengo que pasarme a YT Music, porque principalmente, al menos para mi, su algoritmo de recomendaciones en radio, funciona mucho mejor que el de Spotify, sin embargo ya tuve TV Music probándolo por un mes y me hicieron falta muchas funcionalidades, como organización de playlist, personalización, tienes varios albumes importantes que no estan completos (en este punto solo le resto punto y medio, ya que aunque no esten disponibles canciones de forma oficial la maravilla de esta app es que puedo igual encontrarlas por su gran galería de videos) y por último que no tenga app de escritorio (eso ya le resto casi la mitad de puntaje). Uso Spotify pero creo que le han metido tantas cosas que uno ya no sabe que escuchar en la app. si bien puede tener una buena interfaz al tener tantas cosas pued hacerla un poco confusa, por otro lado creo que su algoritmo de recomendaciones es pauperrimo, cuando hago radios de alguna canción que estoy escuchando, hay veces que me recomienda otras que no tienen absolutamente nada que ver, además siento que no descubro música nueva, me para recomendando lo mismo a cada rato, mismo, mismas playlist, mismos albumes, mismos artistas. Si bien usar Spotify es una buena app, puede llegar a ser muy aburrida, ya que no vas a descubrir nuevo contenido. En YT music he descubierto nuevas canciones y artistas en 1 mes que con Spotify en un año.
A mi me costo bastante pasarme a TH-cam music, mas que nada porque el algoritmo no me mostraba musica que me gustara, ademas de las playlists que ya tenian en las otras plataformas, pero despues de 6 meses buscando y escuchando musica en TH-cam music siento que ya estoy acostumbrandome y el algorithmo esta muchisimo mejor al recomendarme nueva musica 😊
Weird, In terms of the differences in the algorithms, I found the same diagnosis in reverse going from YT Music to Spotify a few months back. Could not get Spotify to be as versatile as YT was for me so gave up and went back. Suppose once you spend enough time with either one it learns your taste I suppose, and Spotify could have gotten better if I had waited
What makes TH-cam Music suck is the app. Not having the fundemental option to Search in your own playlists makes the experience a pain in the ass having to manually scroll thru playlists for a certain song…
I’ll still use Spotify as my main music Platform. If YT implement a proper search bar for playlists, i’ll jump over to YT Music as my main platform
Good point
Hi - why has youtube messed up my "subscribed" artists list - now I cant find it in the app - it only shows when I log on to the web version on my computor. Is there a way to reset it to what I had before?
Why does everyone overlook Amazon music? It’s easy to use and good value if you are already a prime member.
I am finding a number of not only artists but songs that I wasn't familiar with but really like on TH-cam Music. I just started listening a couple of weeks ago since it was free and really like the service.
Because it is from youtube, sound quality and volume is not consistent
True
For a while my brain only focused on Spotify, the others did not exist, over time TH-cam Premium began to make more and more sense to me.
What made me go 100% with TH-cam Music was precisely the wide variety of music, in addition to the fact that the same songs that Spotify or Apple Music have, I can also find on TH-cam.
Not to mention that I can listen to presentations or that particular song that they played live, other people's covers (and in their languages), reimaginings with other styles, remixes, and even some soundtracks, whether from a movie or video game that are not available on other platforms, somehow it feels like an exclusivity XD
Besides, like many here, TH-cam is one of those things that I consume almost daily, so TH-cam Premium is my best choice.
I definitely echo the sentiment. Whatever one you can get cheap, go with that.
For our family, I like apple news+ to read mags, we all use apple fitness+, and we need the cloud storage. So for 3 bucks, we get the music, arcade and apple tv thrown in. I don't really use them, but the rest of our family certainly does.
Been using it for years. It gets the job done!
I pay for TH-cam premium just to skip the ads. But I use Spotify for my music streaming. TH-cam music for songs that aren’t on Spotify.
Exactly my use case
I keep staying with TH-cam Music after trying the other services. The shuffle feature is what makes it special. I don't use playlists but have a massive library and like to just shuffle it. I'm also a heavy TH-cam video user so it's a no brainer for me.
How do you keep TH-cam Music app playing in the background or when it’s minimized on the iPhone?
I have been listing to music through TH-cam music for 5 years now and I would say 99% of the music I listen to and the artists I found I got through recommendations, really obscure stuff as well. Stuff I would have never found otherwise
Yup. I listen to way too much stuff lole that. I cant even imagine using another music service. They just seem so incomplete compared to youtube.
There are random, personalized mixes on yt of pretty much any genre you can find
Theres literally a jazz version of final fantasy 14 ost, and other versions like 8 bit if that's your thing
Theres other kind of osts too, like smt deep strange journey which arent available on streaming platforms
Theres jazz ensembles, theres ambience music, theres anime ost too, there's a lot of stuff thats simply not available on spotify apple music etc
This is pretty much why i stick with yt music, the app by itself might nkt be as good, the lyrics section i hate. The explore page kinda sucks imo, just like yt
But i dont think id switch to other apps simply because of all of its benefits.
My experience:
Hey google, play some black death metal 🤘
Google: okay, here’s Friday, by Rebecca Black
It's amazing how cheap TH-cam Premium with TH-cam music here in the Philippines. It costs roughly 4.33 USD for a family plan which is a no brainer.
Very informative thank you
Yeah, People at work talked about a shared play list its , weird and yes, you can turn it off in settings, i am not sure where.
I've been going with YT Premium all the way back to the beginning. Have Music grandfathered in. Still have Apple music and Spotify. Of the Three Spotify has been the least used. Not that it's bad, not at all. I just use the other two more depending on if I'm on my Pixel or Xr more.
I will say that Google has done some good work with YT music and gives me more of a reason to use it.
So do you get TH-cam music if you already have premium?
I like if the TH-cam music does includes the options between the advertisements etc in the paid plan as well cos I personally prefer the paid plan with the advertisements etc, cos it feels like a closer to the real live radio😊
I have paid, family subscriptions to the trifecta: Spotify, Apple One + & TH-cam Premium.
I only use Apple Music when Spotify goes down, infrequently.
I usually listen to podcasts on Spotify.
Half way thru this video I went to TH-cam Music & I did like the music suggestions.
Cool video. I liked & subscribed.
I tried Spotify and TH-cam free versions, but now, I’m never going back to being the product.
Because I have TH-cam Premium, TH-cam Music was a bit of a no-brainer for me. It also has more obscure content that you can't find on other services because it is linked to TH-cam. I have found quite a few live tracks that I could never find on Spotify. At first I hated the interface and I kind of wish they had an app (not the Chrome app which is basically the website in different packaging). TH-cam Music is a bit more challenging to manipulate playlists but it's not deal breaker for me. The one feature I don't see others talking about much though, (but for me is great) is the ability to upload your own obscure tracks into your library. Spotify allows you to link to local files on your device and add them to playlists but TH-cam Music allows you to upload to a server so that no matter what device you use those tracks are there. If other platforms can do this, let me know, but as far as I can tell this seems to be something I can only find on TH-cam Music. Now they just need a proper dedicated app wth better song selection tools for compiling your own playlists (ie a more graceful way of being able to select multiple tracks at a time and move them around and re-order them).
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! ALSO you can make playlistmixed with youtube videos and music, so you have access to all the remixes and unlicensed music, its like having a soundcloud and spotify/apple music in one platform. And the suggestion algorithm is fire.... interface could use some work though!!
BRO YOU GOT IT!!
I have some albums on iTunes that I want to put on the you tube music ap. I was able to do this before Google did away with Google play. If I get premium and download cds will they still be ad free if I decide to opt out of you tube premium. I pretty much listen to way older music so I probably wouldn't be putting all that much into my library
I agree 💯
The only thing about TH-cam Music I like is the ability to upload my personal music collection and making available to access on any device and even play them in the background and no ads.
Does it work on Apple car play as it works on car but no music in playlist or download in car
I have been trying to sync TH-cam Music across devices but it has been impossible, I think I am missing something ! 🤯
I find TH-cam music has the best user interface of every other music streaming app!
As a TH-cam Premium subscriber, I wish TH-cam Music was better. While it is cool you can get remixes and songs that aren't available anywhere else, it sometimes mixes up fan-made music with official releases. I want the official release where possible, not some fan-uploaded content where the quality and labelling can be hit or miss. TH-cam Music also lacks other basic functionality like Normalization, crossfade etc. And then library management also seems lacking. It might be fine if you only have a thousand or so songs, but I have well in excess of 10,000 songs, which to me is where Apple Music especially shines and maybe Spotify. TH-cam Music has the potential to be something really good, but Google doesn't seem to be putting much effort into it, and they might get bored of it and close the service. I just feel that Spotify and Apple Music are clear leaders in streaming. Tidal and Amazon Music have the quality, but their apps suck.
There is sponsor block chrome extension. I don’t mind sponsorships but the mid roll ads from TH-cam have gotten out of hand imo.
I was using Tidal. Then I went to compare sound quality on Tidal with sound quality on YT Music Premium. The difference is insane!
Explain please. Also what are you listening through
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!
I'm part of that younger generation, so I'm supposed to list these music streaming services but honestly I don't. I'm old school, I honestly like and don't mind spending money and building up my music library. yes I know its the expensive way but, pay once and you have them for ever.
Is Trap Nation’s music TH-cam channel accessible on the TH-cam music app too?
I’d love to switch to YT Premium but I won’t budge on Apple Music because of the Siri Shortcuts integration that you won’t get on any other streaming app.
You know the only purpose to music apps is to play the music with turn off screen or opening other apps n yt music did a bad job like it loses the purpose instantly,waste of space ,waste of money,waste of everything
Yep
I was starting to miss preachy Tim sir. Glad he is back :D
This intro is underrated!
How has no one commented on one fundamental issue with YT Music: they add all the non music but musical in nature clips or just random clips that’s difficult to identify. I like to put my overall list on shuffle, and despite spending hours adding and refining, it scours all my video likes and adds clips or vids that aren’t songs at all. I don’t like having random clips pop up in my car alone or with ppl. They need to isolate better what qualifies as music and not pull from their entire damn library. Until then I’m using a different service despite having YT premium
I’ve not had this issue at all
I agree on this 100%
I’m sure it’s less so if you have a playlist, but I frequently get asmr vids, random clips from movie dialogue, gameplay vids that had music backgrounds, etc.
You can disable random videos playing by going into settings and then going into recommendations
TH-cam Music tip:
1. Create a "playlist" for each category
2. Add your preference songs in a grouped category
3. Then only shuffle on the category you want to listen to
You have to assign each video or song to a playlist on order to keep songs separate from other videos
Im moving from android to iphone for the first time ever when the 15 pro max comes and ive been trying to learn as much as i can before i do. Do you know if i will have my account will carry over to IOS or will i have to pay for it again via apples app store?
Carry over
I actually hate YT Music. The fact that it STILL doesn't let people hide user-uploaded content is perhaps the biggest annoyance. When it "transferred" my music from Google Play Music, I'd say like 90% of my library was user-uploaded garbage where the sound quality was horrid. Trying to search for official artist tracks is a nightmare because if I wanna add Bad Boys by Wham to my library I'm recommended the song as uploaded by goyslop69 instead and it sounds like shit. Deezer or Spotify is far better and doesn't have this issue. If I REALLY wanna listen to something only available on TH-cam, I already have a good TH-cam-to-MP3 converter and I can retag the music as I want.
I'll stick to Deezer, thanks.
I feel you. I'm not fan of youtube integration... they put both of youtube and youtube music playlist on both of youtube and youtube music... It's annoying. I had to put "TH-cam" and "YT Music" on my playlist title for that reason. I much prefer other music streaming services too.
Music Lossless and spatial audio are killer features that I can’t live without.
I absolutely adore TH-cam music. I’ve been using it for about 4 years. I love it, I pay £15.99 a month for a great music app, no adds, on demand download and streaming, all the TH-cam exclusives. People can make fun of me for paying an extra £6 a month over Spotify, as they sit and complain about adds. End of the day, makes my life easier. They can suck it!
If you buy it from the website it is only 11.99
TH-cam ReVanced on phone and AdBlock on PC lol
@@dinelkap TH-cam++ and Spotify++ on iOS. Once you find the sources, it’s a pleasure
I thought it was fine compared to Spotify until I got an Apple Watch. Can't download playlists and listen to them offline without my phone (so I can leave my phone home when I run). Can do it with Spotify. Probably going to switch to Spotify when my free trial runs out unless I can find a work-around.
ive been bouncing between the main 3. Apple is nice, Spotify is overpowered in a lot of ways, and YTM is just kinda awesome.
Podcasts on TH-cam Music are such a welcome addition.
TH-cam sounds fantastic!
I’ve pure silver cabled my modem (including coax), computer and audio system cables.
Since doing this, my music from the modem has been mightily optimized.
I’m currently waiting for my xDuoo MX-01 which suppose to allow my components current maximum bluetooth output go from aptX to hopefully aptX HD or LL.
My system sounds pretty good as it currently sounds.
I own an old iMac that has an old OS. It’s so old, I can’t even use Apple Music with it. It won’t even allow me to use Apple Match.
F’ it! Since my audio system and modem is optimized, I receive TH-cam Music mightily.
I Don't Hall All That Stuff I Want This Suff Back
I was on Spotify for 5 years from 2017 to 2022. I tried out Apple Music because my Spotify Student discount had expired and I could get Apple Music for $5.99 with their discount. I definitely agree the AM algorithm has some room to grow before it reaches Spotify levels. I'm not really getting recommendations to new artists they way I used to with Spotify which is kind of a bummer. The main draw for me was the discounted student price and I do notice a difference in audio quality. At least to my ears, I find compressed AM to give superior audio quality to compressed Spotify. I tried lossless. It's fine, but it's incompatible with bluetooth at the moment so I find it largely useless for the way I listen to music. The lack of a real usable casting feature in Apple Music the way Spotify has it is also a definite letdown.
Yes
My brother pays for the family Spotify premium service and I use my own account and he uses his. I like not having commercials. The commercials made Spotify useless.
I have both Apple Music and TH-cam Premium and cant be without either one of them. I can pay for both. I love Apple Music Karaoke 🎤 feature on my apple tv device. You can remove the voice of so many songs and see the lyrics on the tv. Just pair my apple tv box to any bluetooth that has 🎤 connection and you have the perfect karaoke set up.
The easy way to not have any ad or sponsor is TH-cam++ (at least on iOS). It gives you all the TH-cam premium feature (even download and PiP) it blocks ads and automatically skips sponsors.
It feels like cheating and probably breaks the YT economy but it’s so good.
Amazon Music has been good over the years. Their app sux and inconsistent between platforms. But their recommendations and audio quality are pristine. I love Metal, and they do a great job letting me discover some obscure metal that I just end up loving!
And the sound quality between Amazon and TH-cam - jeez, night and day. TH-cam sounds like it was mastered in a tunnel, with some kind of weird mid-boost. Drives me nuts! I do prefer lossless or high bitrates. (it's also why I hate Spotify - sounds like garbage)
Oh, and TH-cam Premium is raising their price to $14/mo - just because. No extra costs/biz expenses that justify raising the price, they just wanted more profit - like most of these greedy corporations (ex. Hulu, Disney, Netflix etc). Heck at this point - I just might as well go back to cable! They used to be cheap enough as an alternative to cable, but now it's the other way around. What idiots to destroy the whole reason they came into being. I'm going to start cancelling left and right! LOL
I have been using youtube premium + music for years. In the recent months I've been dabbling with spotify and found I like it better because you can sort your songs within a playlist by title, artist, album or recently added. You can also exclude playlist from your music taste.
For YTM, I don't like it's shuffle function algorithm. When I click shuffle on a list of like 300 songs, I expect it to shuffle through the list randomly every time, but what I find happening often is that the algorithm typically starts the list of shuffled songs with songs it thinks I like most, and that's annoying. The whole point of shuffling for me is to hear something random and different, not so much for my favorites.
However YTM is better than Spotify in song availability. Some songs can not be found in Spotify, but youtube truly has EVERYTHING I could think of, because they either have the licensing or someone has uploaded it to TH-cam. Even if you run into a song that isn't found at all, you can upload the song yourself and it's playable from any device as long as you're logged into your account. With Spotify you can upload local songs, but those will only be available for playback on the device you uploaded from and the file has to exist & remain locally.
I still want to switch to Spotify, because I'd rather lose a few songs here and there, than to not have a way to sort songs in my playlists easily.
The day TH-cam Music will allow offline listening on Apple Watch is the day I will stop use Apple Music. I workout without my phone so this feature is a must for me.
What the heck I have been paying £15.99 a month via TH-cam app but it’s £11.99 when I looked up the TH-cam subscription on safari
Apple tax 🙂😊
personally i think yt musics biggest buff is all Spotify premiums features + TH-cam premium
