honestly, I think YouTube music is kind of been on a roll lately with changes. I know some people were against the comment section being at it for songs, but I love it
YTM will be on a roll when it starts giving me worthwhile musical suggestions. Regardless of the playlist, it keeps throwing the same stuff back at me. I barely discovered anything new through my music app since I switched from Spotify to YTM. I unironically discover new music more often through YouTube than YouTube Music.
As for the comment section, I listen to music in the car or while I work, so for me the comment button is just... another button lol
That is strange, I've had the opposite experience. YouTube's mixes are great and interesting, and being able to pick from "familiar" and "discover" in your queue to instantly pick out different music rocks. Also the discover mix can be nice
Weird. I just came back from 2 months on Spotify to make sure I wasn't crazy, and for me, the playlists are noticeably worse. Don't get me wrong, YTM understands which artists I do like, but they don't seem to get what artists I could like.
Yeah I dunno, I've always had good luck but I certainly believe you aren't. Maybe something to do with how it has built your model
Yeah. May just be one of those cases that has listening habits that work better with one of the algos than the other. Dunno. I also would love a proper desktop app, but a man can dream.
Second the desktop app. I've accepted it won't happen at this point. PWAs are pretty close these days anyways
When it provides all the same functionality and navigablility as Play Music, it will be on a roll.
As long as it keeps trying to game all of Spotify's terrible choices, it will always be subpar.
Can you elaborate on what functionality is missing? I hear this all the time and I haven't been able to get an actual answer as to what is missing
I agree. I have been. Enjoying the live lyrics update and I glance in the comments every now and then too.
