Discussion Just discovered better lyrics and it genuinely changed everything

19 Upvotes

This is way better than what YT Music shows when the window is shrinked. now there's a quick way to like a song and proper resizing where elements don't become weird everytime you do it. Was gonna switch to apple music for the UI but I'm gonna reconsider now. Still can't go to artist page when I click on artist name though.

Discussion I’m so sick of this AI “Artist” being thrown into my feed

Some people are reporting AI labels being added but I haven’t seen those yet. This is one of the bigger AI distributors and they don’t have a label.

This flood of AI music is pushing me to stop paying for YouTube and switch to Spotify. You can apparently block artists there.

Hi! Last week I uploaded the Floatune extension to the Chrome Web Store, and since a friend of mine asked me to upload it to the Firefox Add-ons store I've also uploaded it there for anyone interested in trying it. You can try it here! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/floatune/

Question How do I get new music recommended to me?

6 Upvotes

Every time I open the app everything is stuff i've listen to before. I just want new recommendations, new music, but it's so difficult to get this on YT music. When I first used the app it was not like this...is there any kind of button I can click that will recommend something new?

Discussion Horrible desktop web UI

5 Upvotes

The desktop web UI as already heavily discussed here sucks. In this orientation, there isn't a like button that I can click immediately like I can on mobile. and if I make this window shorter, the album cover will become super smaller. In this orientation clicking on the artist name also doesn't bring you to artist page.

This ofc can be solved instantly if we can use the mobile app on desktop, but they insist on keeping it web-based on desktops.

Question Are Supermixes dynamic per listening session?

5 Upvotes

I'll tend to just throw on my Supermixes that YTM makes for me while in the car. My tastes are pretty eclectic but if I'm listening for long enough and keep skipping a specific genre or more, does YTM pick up on that and start excluding them from that listening session after a while?

Question Why is YT Music still so bad? Google should fix this asap.

• Upvotes

It really boggles my mind, how a multi-billion dollar company making ginormous amounts of money, is seemingly unable to provide an app that isn't utter garbage. I mean, we are talking about Youtube Music being the worst of subscription music streaming services. How come they haven't used their super-duper AI capabilities to actually improve on a crap service.

And seemingly, the problems people are flagging with YoutubeMusic have not been improved on in the past two years, i.e. basic shit like if the player is set to shuffle to actually shuffle. So bad... honestly mind-boggling.

Discussion Some features I like about YouTube Music

4 Upvotes
  1. Fully functioning web player (as opposed to AM).

  2. Third party watch support (I can use the app on my Garmin Watch).

  3. Album library is separate from songs library (like Spotify, unlike AM).

  4. Can create a Mix from a playlist.

Question Uploading Music

3 Upvotes

I want to start uploading my library to YTM. The problem is I have two accounts: One is a "brand" account that will not not let me upload to YTM, the other is a Google account, that will allow me to upload but which does not have any playlists, library etc. I have seen that there is a way to combine these accounts, but it looks awfully complicated-and the ultimate goal is to be able to upload my library to my YTM account that accepts uploads, and still keep all of my playlists and library. Any help to do this as simply as possible would be great. I don't want to delete the wrong account if I can help it.

Android What is dynamic queue and why was it automatically enabled?

1 Upvotes

I'm on android and somehow the dynamic queue option was enabled. I was getting frustrated and trying to figure out why my queue kept randomly changing every time I skipped a song. Then I went to my settings and came to find out the dynamic queue was enabled. I also connected a new speaker but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Question I can no longer shuffle two playlists together

2 Upvotes

As recently as a week ago I was able to shuffle two playlists together on iOS. I would shuffle a playlist, add another playlist to the queue, then toggle the shuffle and the two playlists would shuffle together in the queue. This does not seem to be working today. Has YouTube music recently updated so that the queuing system is different? Is there a new way to shuffle two playlists together other than literally adding the two to a new playlist?

Question All my downloaded songs "expired" WTF

1 Upvotes

Is this happening to some of you too atm? I'm a premium user, literally 24/7 logged in and constant internet connection too. And today I found my library of around 2000 songs deleted from downloads or at least it says they are expired. Most of them at least, not all of them, like 90%. Affected ones also don't have a download button so they have to be somewhere at least because the YTM app takes 15GB of storage.

Is this a bug or do I have to re download the whole thing which will be a pain in the a.. when I have to delete all the app data.

It was working fine only mere hours ago and now it won't let me listen to this song. I don't have age restricted mode turned on and my birth date labels me as an adult so I have no idea what the issue is. How do I fix this?

Unrelated, but I find it a little odd that it's a CITIZEN song that is marked, sience he always mentions on social media that he never uses AI for his work. So I hope this new feature works properly.

Question On repeat isn’t accurate

3 Upvotes

I’m really just wondering if others have noticed the same thing. I usually listen to my on repeat playlist (even though it keeps playing the same order but that’s a different problem). But I keep noticing songs I’ve played once or are played automatically from a playlist (even when I skip them!) in my “top 5” while a song that I’ve been playing on repeat isn’t even in the playlist!

It’s just driving me crazy because I would think it’s an easy thing to program? I used to use Spotify and that on repeat playlist was also not flawless but much better. But like I said, I’m just wondering if others experience the same!

Discussion Youtube Music desktop VS app Experience

10 Upvotes

I have noticed for the greater part of using YouTube Music that it feels as if using the youtube music even with premium through a desktop is just absolutely inferior compared to the app (and the app experience isn’t anything crazy lmao) of course at the end of the day this is simply my opinion based on how i use it.
Does anyone else feel like this is the case?

Question Albums. Why did YouTube Music stop playing JUST the album?

5 Upvotes

I want to play the album to the end and nothing else after. Now the app plays the album then moves to other music. Is there a way to go back to just playing the album without the endless mix after?
