bugs me so freaking much that as a user of google music family plan i don't get the youtube red service, suffer, suffer i say with youtube ads, and odn't have background play on youtube, a feature previous apps used to have. it's perverse!
 
I'm on the play music family plan, I've signed in to YouTube music with no trouble but none of my playlists have ported over.

Android? Try YouTube vanced.
 
Android Vanced is something else. Works great on my Pixel C, and I just keep forgetting to add it to my S8+. Background play is superb.

if you had one you had the other. figured if red ever came over here it'd be the same.

Yes, if you had one you had the other. But one is a music player and the other is a video player. They don't actually have the same library, so I don't see how they would share a playlist? If nothing else, there could be six or seven 'versions' of the same track on YouTube, uploaded by different people, how would it know which one?

Playlists are being ported over the next few months. If you want YouTube Red you now need to pay £2 extra on top of the family plan.

But I have been tweeting Google music because I received an email when the music key beta ended detailing that we would get YouTube red at no extra cost(which is what YouTube premium is).

They haven't been transparent at all with this typical Google.

well youtube red and google play music in the usa were the same thing iirc. if you had one you had the other. figured if red ever came over here it'd be the same.

It was I even have an email detailing this but they have gone against their word & renamed YouTube Red into YouTube premium & they want extra money for it.

I have no idea what point you're making in reply to what I've said.

I've just found an APP called WiFi File Transfer Pro - it is worth 88p and saved me lots of hassle because I shift a lot of stuff between my PC, Tablet & Phone.
That also works from a Web Browser.

I was using Sidesync which is for Samsung phones but changed to a Moto G6 Plus a couple of weeks ago and then came across WiFi File Transfer Pro.
if I'd known about it I would have used it on the Samsung.
 
Just signed up to youtube premium for a 3 month free trial. Good so far.

No ads, screen off playback, Picture in picture and downloads.

£12/m seems a little steep though.
