  YouTube music is better than music on youtube, particularly for people with slow or capped internet.

    Moderately, it’s still not as good as Play Music it replaced, and frankly the only reason I use it is because it comes with Premium (and Lite gets ads so fuck that deal), otherwise I’d subscribe to something else for music (aside from growing my album collection on Bandcamp).

      I heard good things about play music but I was super pov when that existed and didn’t pay for any online stuff, it was piracy or nothing.

      Thats the exact same reason I have YouTube music.

        That was the reason to use Play Music when it was a thing. Upload all your torrented music and stream it for free.

    How? I use my phone for internet and don’t have any issues.

      You’re not necessarily streaming video on YT music, just audio.

      In the time it takes for a video to even show up, I can have a song playing with a playlist behind it. One video is the same amount of data as many songs.

      My phone is my home internet and is often under 100KB/s, even at 240p YouTube takes way longer than YouTube music.

    And it’s better for people who want to listen to more than just a few songs, for people who need an organized collections, playlists, etc. In other words, for those who need a music streaming service. YouTube isn’t one.

  I remember when YouTube Music first came out it was pretty much just the audio from the videos in the most atrocious quality. Has it changed since then?

    Youtube Music is pretty much just youtube with a different UI - the videos are the same. The audio quality is whatever’s uploaded, so it’ll vary a lot song to song.

      Lmao, what? YouTube Music is essentially Spotify with the ability to add YouTube videos to your playlists. It has an enormous music library comparable to other streaming services, it’s not “youtube with a different ui”.

        …that enormous library is called “YouTube videos”.

      There is another benefit - it can be played in the background if I remember properly.

      Oh good, I’m not missing out then. I moved around quite a bit between Deezer, Tidal, random piracy in FLAC until finally landing on Apple Music.

        You can mix TIDAL and piracy; I use tidal-dl quite a lot. The problem with streaming services is that they can close shop in five minutes, and all of “your” music won’t be yours anymore.

        (I think Apple Music has similar tools.)

        I’ve resorted back to piracy, but mostly cuz my taste in music confuses the hell out of the algorithms: I’m a fan of symphonic metal, and seeding one of those songs as the start of a playlist on something like YT music will land you with a combination of heavy death metal and renaissance fair music.

        If I ever find one that can actually distinguish sub-genres of metal, then sign me the fuck up!!
