There is no rival to YTM Premium. Ultimately, it is library collection that matters the most. If you are missing out on interesting music, what's the point of UI, controls, and all the fancy features? What will you organise and control if your favourite songs are not there? What can AI do if the library lacks a match for your taste? Update: thanks for the likes and replies! If you listen to Indian music, you know there are hundreds of songs missing on Spotify. Zee Music has withdrawn access. Saregama HMV has many albums only in parts. It's frustrating to say the least.

In fact, many creators have mentioned that they get paid more for Premium users viewing their content then regular ad watching users. Ironically, you also paying the music artists less. Spotify is one of the worst in the industry, paying artists 3x less per stream than Apple and approx. 80% less than UKposts. Don't get me wrong, I use ad block on many sites, but we forget that it screws over fellow humans more than it does big tech companies. I use it for privacy and sanity. It is a tough balancing act.

UKposts Music could easily be the best streaming service. They got the Algorithm (from UKposts itself), the Videos, Servers, Storage, basically all you need to turn this into a great product. I've been using it for almost a year now and it wouldn't even take much: Better audio quality, better UI, better music discovery page, that's literally all that would be needed. Sadly it feels like that there's only a very small team working on it, since it barely ever gets any mentionable updates or improvements.

The music tuner on UKposts music was a game changer at the time that made it better for me. The only problem I have with it is you can't select artist unless they show up in that list. I've had to go back and play artist or add more songs from artist to my library to get them as a selectable artist in the tuner section. I still like Pandora as a secondary music app and they do a better job of making a station based on multiple artists. I'm glad UKposts music added it but it still needs some tweaking but it's on the right path. I used to do Amazon music but the Android app is awful. I do wish UKposts music was on more devices and quality was better but maybe one day. I agree I wish they were separate UKposts and UKposts music. I also wish you could say play music from your library like play Stevie Ray Vaughan from my library but it doesn't know what my library really is of his music. That's just an example.

@FallenArtemie 7 місяців тому
I've been on YT Music since Google Play Music but also had Spotify on/off over the years. Spotify was good at parties because of the session and blend features, but YT was always better when listening solo because it always felt like it had better algorithmic shuffles. On Spotify, I would often be listening to the same few songs from the past few weeks but UKposts would try to splice in something new or something I haven't listened to in a while. Plus, the YT library being shared with YT Music means indie bands, overseas songs, and soundtracks that aren't available as music can still be enjoyed as music via the video mode. At this point, all my friends have switched from Spotify as well because of these features and the YT Premium bonus.
@JoelAnthony97 7 місяців тому
I've been using YT Music for several years, and while yeah it started off rough, and still isn't quite yet competing with all the features that Spotify has (we need a YT Connect feature... PLEASE.) it still suits my needs pretty well. I also feel the algorithm just gets me better. Not to mention YT Premium is such a plus. Especially in the era of people complaining that YT has too many ads. I have the family plan which while costly brings a lot of benefit to my family and I. Anytime I can't make a payment and the service is cancelled for a few days they notice because its a lot of benefit lost. While not perfect, YT Music is still going to improve on itself even if its sometimes years behind on its updates.

I've never subscribed to spotify before but when UKposts announced they'd be releasing a music app, I jumped in the wagon. What I really love about youtube music is the "slowed songs" or great remixes that I suppose you cannot find on Spotify. And also Im on a student plan. It costs only 2dollars a month. The app has gradually increased to become better in these few years im using it, and im not looking forward to change to other music listening platform soon. Edit: btw, since i paid for the $2 for both youtube and youtube music, now I get to watch youtube videos without ads and in the background/when phone is turned off. This is very important to me because I love watching youtube videos whether it be pop culture, studying videos as well as economy and history documentaries. I dont really use tiktok/insta much for entertainment purposes both because of I have no interest to and also I want to maximise my 2dollars.

Spotify as far as I know, does an aweful job of actually shuffling my playlist. Instead of just giving me a straight up shuffle that is completely random, it instead gives me songs that are more “popular” so I could go through the entire playlist before I hear any of niche songs I have on there. It’s really annoying hearing a lot of the same songs every time I shuffle. I do kinda like the new enhanced shuffle option but it’s also bordering on just giving me the same kind of songs to the point that I’m thinking of turning it off. I haven’t used UKposts music in a long while but I can’t exactly switch because my family is on the family plan for Spotify and I don’t feel like paying the UKposts premium subscription yet. But I do remember really liking it when I had it, one example I think back to is when I used to love listening to white stripes and their live covers, Catch Hell Blues is a total banger live and UKposts had the cover. Spotify doesn’t have it. Maybe one day I’ll switch but ima wait til I’m in college because I’ve heard of UKposts’s student discount and it sounds amazing for what you get with it.
@Korvanick 3 місяці тому
Great summary. I had the Spotify/Hulu bundle from college but when I got UKposts premium I was struggling to decide if I wanted to keep both. Spotify ended up raising the price so that made the decision a bit easier. I've always found UKposts Music to have better recommendations for me anyway, so it works out. One other big factor to consider is whether people use Amazon Alexa or not, as Spotify is supported but UKposts Music is not. I switched my home automation over to Google, but if I hadn't, I probably would have stuck with Spotify out of necessity.

Darn, I use YT Music almost daily for years and I didn't notice "Your music tuner" section, since it requires scrolling past many, IMO useless, sections, so I always just randomly found a song I played in the past and started a radio from it. Usually worked quite well, but I will give music tuner a go, thanks for showcasing it. Ps.: if anybody from YT is seeing this, give us option to either remove/hide sections in the app, or to change the country for Trending songs, since it keeps recommending songs from country I live in, which I have quite a distaste for (especially since a lot of them are quite bad Rap). If I had those, to me, useless sections hidden, I would be able to notice new sections/features way quicker.

I’ve used both extensively I love Spotify’s app and the algorithms for recommendations are amazing. I settled on UKposts music though because it’s just a simply better deal. The app is really good now but the three key reasons are 1. Access to UKposts premium, UKposts, without ads is a mind blindly different experience and it’s nice knowing that I am supporting creators. 2. Access to all music on UKposts not just UKposts music. This is great for unofficial tracks, live performances, covers, remixes, and so much more unsanctioned content. 3. Personal upload music library. I have a lot of old music, demo track and underground music that just can’t be found on any other streaming services and knowing that I can still listen to these alongside my streaming service has been great. Either way though I think both are great services and you can’t really go wrong with either.
@m_lies 4 місяці тому
WHAT??? "Spotify’s app and the algorithms for recommendations are amazing." do you live in a diffrent demension as me??? because i had been using it for over 2 years, but it has the littelary WORST algorithm.... It pushes song genres onto me that i absolutely HATE, and even thought i never liked such a song, dont have one in my playlist and i literary ALWAYS skip them. But to this day I'm still only flooded with genres that i absolutely despise as soon my playlist runs out after 5h of lissening... its SUPER rare, that it finds the right songs in the genre I'm listening to. It also has fewer songs that you can choose from, particularly for small artists, and way to many songs from other countries are blocked... While for example SoundCloud has a superb algorithm, like every day/week there is a list of 30+ newly released songs from many very small artist songs that have like 100-2000 plays, but nearly all fit my taste, something like that sadly does not exist on Spotify... (SoundCloud is on the other hand pretty bad when it comes to playlist management) And UKposts does not have the best algorithm, but It's still many miles better than Spotify, it was rare that it recommended me a song that didn't fit my taste, but it can get repetitive or many olds songs are pushed, and the amount of songs is also a lot wider... Spotify was for me only useful when i already know which song i want to listen to, or to listen like the top 100 Chart or some premade playlists or some huge artists. As the sound quality is just better, but never the algorithm...

The size of YTM’s library, on top of it being bundled with a YT premium subscription is what did it for me. I actually think music tends to sound slightly better on other platforms, maybe because YTM is capped at 256kbps and most other services go at least up to 320kbps or even offer lossless, but that ultimately doesn’t matter to me if the music I’m looking for isn’t available on the platform. Plus I do the majority of my listening on my AirPods which only support the AAC codec anyway, so I wouldn’t even see any benefit from subscribing to a service that offers lossless audio.

UKposts has one major flaw that makes it very inconvenient: no playlist sorting. You have to know where certain songs are within a playlist if you want to find them. That coupled with the mess that is subscribing to an artist keeps me from using the serrvice.

I tried Spotify too; I think almost a year. But before that I am already a YT Premium subscriber. And after that, I returned to YTM since a lot of things missing. Like YTM will suggest great songs by just picking 1song. Also, the best part, all music can be found on YTM since most musicians uploads first on YT. Like the special versions, mixed versions, or a fan-made versions. Also, regarding of playing music on different device, I mean on ANY DEVICE, you can just cast to it as long as you're connected to the same network.

IDK if it's just me, but my main problem that I have with UKposts Music is seamless streaming. For example, when I listen to Beyonce's Renaissance, the transition between Cozy and Alien Superstar just keeps failing if I download the music. When I stream it, it's fine. Noticed this in some albums too where there's supposed to be a seamless transition between songs and the transition just doesn't work if the songs are downloaded. That's my main (and possible only) problem with the app.

As a long-time Spotify user, UKposts Music has some serious usability issues. 1) Playlists can't be sorted. It's 2023, this is insane. 2) On my phone while using Google Maps, when the YT Music audio turns down for navigation audio, the YT Music audio clips really bad. 3) Unless I am completely disconnected from the internet, downloaded music does not immediately play from my device. Spotty connection? YT Music still checks in before playing downloaded music. There does not seem to be a similar "downloaded only" toggle like in Spotify. This is also insane. There are more usability issues, but those are my three biggest gripes over the past 3 months.

I actually have a funny story about using youtube music premium. One day I was at the gym, and, as I was without any headphones, I was forced to listen to that gym's playlist. At some point there was a song that for some reason reminded me of an old tv program, which for those of you who know it was called "art attack" (It was a program aired in multiple countries I believe, not just where I grew up in Italy), and suddenly I had the urge to listen to its opening, so, as I got out of the gym, I opened my youtube music app, searched for the track, found it, and with a big smile I pressed the play button, only to find out a few moments later that that video was actually a rickroll. In the end I managed to find the actual track, but that moment was sincerely priceless

Plus so many live performances from broadcast sources in addition to fan cams. Since I subscribe to YT Premium I don't feel a need to go outside the ecosystem. It's a little cheaper if you get the yearly subscription.

There's a separate Google app for podcasts: Google Podcasts. The way it functions is quite similar to Apple Podcasts, though: Both of these are a free service separated from YT Music and Apple Music respectively, and ads from Google and Apple are baked into the recording. If having a separate podcast app is a deal-breaker, that's fine, but I didn't mind this when I had Apple Music, and I don't mind it with YT Music now, since at least there's a clearer separation between the types of content I listen to.

Seems to be some sort of deep integration with the Sonos app.

UKposts is way better than Spotify for recommendations, but Soundcloud has the best algorithm to find new songs by far. Soundcloud has a feature to find really nice songs, its two playlists. One is updated every day and the other one once a week, They each recommend 30+ Newly released (sometime solder songs), and till now 90% of these songs always did fit my taste! A lot of these songs/ Tracks are only week of few days old from smaller artists, with songs that even have like 500 plays. But they still fit my taste, as the algorithm just knows what I like! But sadly the biggest downturn for SoundCloud is that you can't really sort songs in your self-made playlists... But i would still recommend it for finding new songs! and then taking them to other platform like UKposts/Spotify.
@JosephPoe Місяць тому
We have both. We subscribe to Spotify for music and UKposts Premium mainly to eliminate ads in UKposts videos (but have YTM as an added benefit). As a family, we use Spotify's Jam feature. The addition of audiobooks in Spotify is also another benefit it has (maybe released after your video). We use YTM for songs/artists missing from Spotify. Also, one benefit to YTM is the selection of live music. There is a lot more live (recorded live) music. If YTM would implement an equivalent to Spotify's Jam feature, then I could likely convince my family to drop Spotify (although, I myself do love Spotify's dedicated apps over YTM's "web player" on desktops/laptops).
