is there a worse app then youtube music?

unwashed potato! · 28 Apr 2021 at 14:25

really do dislike this app compared to play music.

just a shame it's part of youtube premium else i'd not use it.

any way, can someone tell me how when i have a playlist of 200 songs, to get it to acutally play that full playlist and not just 30 odd songs then stop? total crap that when i click shuffle, it just loads some of the songs and then doesn't continue when it gets to the end.

also,

can someone tell me how to make it so when i search for an antist, then click songs, and click play to one of them, i get it to just play that artists songs, not 2 of them, then a random mix of crap from other artists i never searched for?

i just want that artist hence why searching just that artist

god damn this is a terribly crap app for music it really is.

I posted much the same on here when they discontinued GPM and forced everyone into YTM. It really is a pile of excrement and Google should be thoroughly ashamed. I ditched it and went to Spotify Duo along with my girlfriend. I'd love to know how many people left YTM because I never heard a good word said about it. It's shockingly bad and you know what, I wish I ditched it sooner because Spotify is so much better it's unreal.

i bet it is, however i pay for youtube premium and don't wish to have both a spotify and youtube subscription.

I don't mind YTM. Admittedly my use case is quite different from those already mentioned. I CBA with playlists - I have one and it rarely goes beyond 15 songs, it's basically a dynamic list and gets updated with anything I'm particularly listening to. Other than that I just let YTM do its thing with regards auto lists or 'Radio' suggestions and it does the job.
I should caveat by stating I signed up via the VPN so for £1.20pm I am not going to complain.

I pay for YT premium with the indian VPN and pay for Spotify on top, YTM is horrific.

I thought the GPM radio stations and suggestions were decent, until I moved to Spotify

Of course you don't mind if you don't use any of its features

I’m a man of simple pleasures

I really just use it as a library. I’m more of a broadcast radio person anyway but it’s nice to have a service where I can look up and play any song I want free of ads etc.

I’ll get my coat

Is YT music it's own thing?, or is it just ripping the audio source from its videos?

Which annoyed me even more! You'd search for an artist and have to go 5-6 rows down through all the YT (video) rubbish before you got to an album! Searching for 'metallica live' for example was just lols..

I was on Google Play Music as I got a reduced subscription price and it allowed me to upload my own CD's.

I've kept the reduced subscription on Yahoo Music, but it's so naff I'm thinking of paying more for Spotify. Typical Google, they implement something that works, but don't invest in it or make it actively cr*p.

Can't imagine it being worse than the amazon music app tbh.

If you play a play list, does it play the whole thing or just stop after x amount of songs and start playing other music not in your list?

Dunno I just shuffle or sometimes play an album. All my music is digital purchase.

It is pretty terrible. I also dread to think about the crappy royalties the musicians get if it's technically just playing the audio from a video.
