Stefen AurisSurviving as a YouTube Music subscriber in a Spotify world
saltywolverI've mostly used YouTube Music, though my friends use Spotify, and I think the addition of being able to watch/listen to YouTube videos in Music is huge. Spotify is great if you only listen to label-published artists, but when you want to include tracks and mixes from indies, YTM is just the only way to go
LumiliasYou’re telling me, I’m over here with Apple Music when all my friends have Spotify. I stopped using Spotify as they started pushing podcasts to the forefront of their platform (PocketCasts ftw).
I still have YTM due to Premium, but I only really use it for stuff that is only on YouTube.
I’m trialing Apple Music as we speak for that same reason. Spotify was by far the most stable service I used but I’m getting really frustrated by the non-music content they’re pushing. I have no problem with podcasts and audio books but there’s multiple better apps for both.
So far it’s been pretty good, a little more buggy but just about everything I want is there and the quality is good, Win11 client is pretty bad tho ATM.
Try the Cider client instead until they work out the bugs with the official client. I’ve used Cider since switching to Apple Music and it has worked better than the official client by far.
You can find it on the MS store, they recently released a v2 of the app replacing their previous version.
MrArborsexualtfw you are the guy who just gets free bandcamp codes from discords, downloads the FLACs, archives them in triplicate (NAS, offsite backup, cold storage backup), then converts them to opus, and then puts the .ogg files on your phone OR records from the flacs onto cassette for in the woods listening with the knockoff walkman you’ve had since childhood.
YTM and Spotify and the ilk just seem like too much work.
y-yeah, why stream what you want to listen to directly to your device when you can just do that simple process! …right? 😅

milo_bytesI have YTM through a family plan with a friend and Spotify through the student discount program, so YTM is for the music I listen to over and over and over and over and Spotify is for like, big boy listening times where I’m sitting down with an album (until I get speakers for my record player anyways)
