YouTube music

[mustang7757]

I mean don't get me wrong, I usually get the ads and Google play music but I can still multitask with the background music as well.

Yeah same here ..

Yeah same here ..

yep yep. I mean my requirements for streaming music service aren't that advanced. But if Google is going to play that game I'll go straight to Spotify. I don't care. Pandora if I feel like it's such an old fashioned streaming service at this point so it's big. Obviously I want to stick with Google services if I can. But still...

I pay for the subscription. But I still prefer Google Music over YouTube Music. Ugh, I wish they would get better at making this service. I don't like ads, so I love the fact that I don't see them on YouTube or my music, but, don't have me switch to YouTube music. They don't have as much music over there. If they decide to put all the music over there, then maybe.

Also, I still want to be able to upload my own music. Unsure if YTM can do that, as I really don't want to switch right now.

without an internet connection or a sub, you cant play local(device stored) content. it just will NOT let you. I tested this on my moto g7.

youtube music promptly flipped out, it said 'cannot play content without online connection' and the support articles I read indicate that if I want offline playback of MY music content, that I need to subscribe, and $10 a month just to play MY music...NO THANK YOU.

I went and downloaded amazon music. zero problems with offline playback now.

Just tried to play my downloads in airplane mode. I had no problems. Totally worked.

 

[xraiderv1]

did you load your music from a computer as mp3s? cause I did.

No, I thought you meant cached files downloaded from YouTube. My bad.

 

[xraiderv1]

yeah..you can see why I'd not be willing to pay $10 a month just for the 'privledge' of playing my own mp3 content offline, right?

My original response was pretty much based on my own bias and I had a knee jerk reaction. I would never use a streaming app to play locally stored music, but I paid for Poweramp years ago. But that's just me and my tendency. I know many others feel differently.

To answer your question, if I wanted to use that feature and it didn't work, no, I wouldn't pay for it.

 

[xraiderv1]

question...relating to your response, power amp, does it remember where you were last in a given playlist?

It always remember the last track/album/playlist I was on. Always.

 

[xraiderv1]

well I know what I'm buying next month when my stipend clears. gonna send you a pm so we're not cluttering the thread here.

 

[Larzuk]

Not to continue the derail, But +1 for PowerAmp. Amazing app and I love their refresh.

In regards to having to pay for premium to access locally stored content that's a mistake in so many ways. I already, however, pay for premium for YouTube purposes.

 

[kirksucks]

I tried Amazon Music and it sucks, there were so many songs it wouldnt play unless you have Amazon Music Premium subscription, even if you have a Prime account already. totally dumb.

Youtube music pulls from Youtube Video content too much and it's basing my preferences on videos I've liked or channels I subscribe to. This is completely wrong. This whole idea of YTM is asinine. Google Play Music is perfectly fine as it is. If offers a video if there's one to offer and I can easily ignore it. I dont need parody song videos in my feeds.

What do you get for free on Spotify? I've never bothered because I already pay for Google Music and I always thought it was another paid subscription to make it worthwhile.

 

[eric002]

Oh I completely agree with you. I wish Google would cut it out the whole YouTube music bandwagon thing and go Google Play music again.

 

[xraiderv1]

I got tired of amazon music 'forgetting' my place in a playlist, and that I was in a playlist in the first place every couple of weeks..I bought poweramp pro.

 

[eric002]

Admittedly, I never use Amazon music. Just use Google Play music.

Poweramp. A worthy investment for locally stored music.
