Thought as much. The usual UK tax! Getting charged American prices on much less disposable/higher taxed income
YouTube Premium

VPN on, incognito and go the premium tab and it just says this feature is not available yet...?

What's everyone's thoughts of YouTube Music?
I'd resigned myself to just dealing with not having Premium anymore, but it occured to me that I'm paying 16 quid a month for a duo Spotify account. I'd never really given YT Music much thought, but it comes bundled with YT Premium...so maybe I should just ditch Spotify and suck up a full price YT Premium subscription instead. I've tried to prepare for a life without YT Premium (switched to Brave browser, already have Smart Tube TV on the Firestick) but I think I will miss it.
I've been using YT Music for my last few days before my Argentinian Premium account has to go and so far, I'm not sure it is any worse than Spotify. Seems to have all the Podcasts I subscribe to, works okay on Android Auto...only thing it doesn't seem to have is audiobooks.

Used YouTube music for years, it’s fine, I think people prefer what they know be that Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube music.
I loved Tidal when I used it. Very similar to Spotify but much better sound quality. Think I paid 18p a month via Argentina.
Same, I’ve used all 3, it’s fine and equivalent.
I find it odd that people have such strong views over their choice of music app, they are all so similar you are basically splitting hairs unless you go with something like Tidal where they have an actual USP.
Ah I see.
I have a contact in Bangladesh who will add me to their family account when mine rounds out. That's the difference.
I doubt this will last long, better download quick. It’s already been deleted from HDUKFor anyone in ios, here's a free ad-free YouTube app.

I don't really have any allegiance, it's more that there's a few oddities about it which I don't like (like in YT music, you don't just "follow" artists, you "subscribe" to them...and then that means they appear in your normal Youtube subscriptions, which I don't want).
And it seems that the only easy way to transfer Spotify data (playlists, podcasts, etc) to YT Music is to use paid services which do it for you. I know it's not really a big thing to change, but I'd like to see if there's any sort of big things YT Music misses out on compared to Spotify.
Used it for years now and it's great. Algorithms rarely throw up something I don't like and you'd be mad to pay for Spotify on top of you're already paying for YT premium
So I've had my payment taken this month in Indian Rupee, I had an email previously stating that I needed an Indian card and my service would terminate on the 5th December.
My Premium benefits page says that it renews on the 28th December...what do we think will happen tomorrow?

Nice one. I too have had the email. Waiting for the 17tu Dec to see what happens.
In other news a family member abroad has made a family account out there.... and added my wife who is here... successfully.

i like it but it follows a very familiar pattern, play one song and the next ten to 15 will be almost the same list each time.
I'm a very light user so not put a lot of effort into customisation and the kids play their music also so i guess on that front the fact it sticks to the genra is probably a good thing

is this still a thing? 18p a month sounds good
Same, mine was for 3rd December.
I didn't change anything, payment was taken showing premium till 28th December. Not sure if YT was trolling me but I still have premium.
I mainly use YT Music, dropped Spotify months ago but now I have 4 months free of Apple music. I can tell the music quality is better than both.
What annoys me about YT Music and I cant believe they still havent fixed this. You can have a playlist saved on YT, go to YT Music and certain songs are greyed out showing "Content is unavailable"
But its from the same source, so I have to flip back into YT to play it.

Sadly. My card expired and when I updated it they shut that down sharpish.
I do wonder how many of these companies are using these exploits as "trial periods", there's no way in hell they're not aware. It must be factored in to their pricing model.
