Personally have so far resisted paying for the YouTube Premium. So with the "Free" version, I am still unable to listen to my songs and albums on my Insignia (Google) Home Smart Speaker. If I say to my Smart Speaker "Hey Google...play [insert name of song from my personal library uploaded music]" I get the response from Google..."I'm sorry I can only play music from your music library with a YouTube Premium subscription...would you like to subscribe?" I, of course, responded "No!" And then the Google Assistant responds "Here is a streaming station like [insert song name]" and it starts playing whatever random streaming station it wants until I tell Google to Stop!
So far I am only able to stream my own music to the smart speaker by starting the music on my phone and then connecting to my Smart Speaker via the Bluetooth connection.
Very Annoying!
Basically I am still feeling like Google is Forcing me into getting a YouTube Premium subscription to be able to listen to my own music on my Smart Speaker!
I guess, if Google does not fix the issues with YouTube Music, I will have to either Subscribe to YouTube Music or completely leave the platform!
