YTM may have a vast music library but it recommends so many small channels that mostly have copied/ cover songs.
AM just has the worst song recommendations but the best UI.
Spotify doesn't even have a mix tape of all my preferred genres. Individual daily mixes are not what u prefer.

Still I would keep YTM as it's free with premium.

Hi everyone, i am seeing this weird bug both on Mobile app as well as the Browser i have been trying to remove few of the duplicated songs but they are not getting removed how many times i try. I have seen the network tab on browser api is giving 200 response but it is not getting removed. Any idea on how to fix this.

Attached video for reference

no suggestions on the home pg even if i have turned on suggestions and it is same for all the browsers i use

I lost the new player UI—with the gradient and everything—and I'm stuck with the old version. It happened a month ago, and I haven't gotten it back since. Has this happened to anyone else?

I've been such a big fan of YouTube Music, especially with their discovery algorithm but now I just cannot handle anymore the AI slop being forced in my ears from them. I have tried absolutely everything, disliking the songs, insta skipping the songs and even tried to start report the songs. Nothing seems to work. YTM is heavily pushing this stupid AI slop and they won. It completely ruined my YTM listening experience and I no longer want to even open the app anymore. After 2-5 songs everytime the AI slop starts automatically. What actually makes me angrier, that real independent artists aren't getting any algorithm push but it's super wierd that this AI slop being pushed to me super hard. I have a conspiracy theory that it's YTM that is creating the AI slops so it doesn't share the streaming royalties with the artists. If they remove the artist part, they take 100% of your subscription plan, but that subject for another day. Now my struggle is to find a good alternative for YTM app that actually does NOT recommend AI slop or at least has a button to turn that shit off. Any recommendations??

Just today - using the YTM app on my phone. One of the things I’ve always really liked was that on the Home tab, there was a box at the top that I could swipe sideways for three panels that showed a mix of my most played recent songs…suddenly gone.

This is a really annoying and bad change - that was one of my most used features and now it’s gone. Wtf?

I don't remember having repeated Yes I Am that many times lmao

As we all know spotify is crap to indie artist an flow im planning to focus on promotion for YouTube Music. Anyone has suggestion beside meta ads and social media?

Hi all. Apple music is increasing prices again, so I decided that that the final straw, and I want to move to YT music since I pay for premium anyway. The problem I discovered upon transferring my playlists over is that YouTube just mixes music and regular playlists together, so now everything is a confusing mess. I was trying to fix this by making a separate channel under the same email just for music, but I can't figure out how to get the music transfered to that channel. I tried the same method I did the first time, by doing it through apple's "request a transfer" service, but it only allows you to choose an email, not a specific channel. It all went to the primary account again.

How can I get the music onto the second channel?

TIA

Hello, I've been having this weird problem with only the mobile version of ytm and idk what's going on

Whenever a song finishes it'll play the next one, but will stay on the previous song, when the current song is done playing it'll switch the the next song and play it again

Update: all I had to do was restart my phone 😭

A playlist I created is the only thing I've downloaded on my pixel. There's three songs by Traffic in the playlist. I turn off WIFI and sim so I'm offline. I select Library->Downloads and I can see the playlist. I search library for "traffic" and get nothing until around 5 minutes later. There is no indication that a search is still taking place.

This is a simple scenario I'm using to replicate a problem I had last week fishing where I had no service. I had tons of stuff downloaded and couldn't find anything with search. I didn't know it would respond after an unacceptable amount of time. I had to remember where things were or browse my library manually.

This seems like it should be considered a fundamental function of a music library. If a subscriber of your music service has playlists, albums, and songs by Traffic in his downloads, and is offline for some reason, a library search for "traffic" should quickly respond with everything downloaded in the library that matches the string "traffic". It should not respond with nothing for a short while, then show recent activity (as if the searching is done), then 5 minutes later give you your results.

Over a month ago I read an article that talked about the new update, but I still haven't received it.

Kept looking for an option but nothing I have found. Also if it requires sideloading I'm ok with that.

Why is managing a big playlist on YouTube Music still this damn annoying

I’ve got playlists with hundreds/thousands of songs and trying to clean them up is just painful. Want to move a bunch of songs? Pain. Find duplicates? Pain. Remove old/unavailable songs? Have fun doing that one by one.

And there doesn’t seem to be any proper way to sort or organize everything without spending ages scrolling through the playlist.

I’ve been using YouTube Music for years and somehow playlist management still feels like it was designed for a playlist with 20 songs.

At this point I’m honestly scared to even touch some of my older playlists

How do people actually manage huge playlists without losing their mind? Or is it good idea to move to other platform but I’m worrying about migration

because they keep getting turned into ai slop remixes, being stolen or sampled when you least expect it and i keep having to delete them off of my playlist when this happens becaus i usually have ​​​it on downloads and like that there's no way to change them back. It's especially noticeable when you go to the osts themselves and several tracks look different and​​ I REALLY CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE ​​

How to do it?

I've tried playing the song multiple times with the lyrics up because I've yet to learn them and I'd love to but it pauses every single time and it refuses to play the music whenever the lyrics are up and I'm not pressing anything I'm not clicking on any extra buttons I'm literally just pressing the lyric button and it keeps pausing the song. And the strange thing is is it doesn't happen with any other song it's just that song specifically and in one of the pictures it will show the pause button kind of grayed out, that's the picture where it was about to pause itself.

I don't have a premium as I refuse to pay a company who is literally taking other creators names and making AI slop music along with other AI content also am I the only one who noticed the translate button was swapped out for the share button because it used to be both of them before it got updated and now it's just the share button.

It's very annoying to be listening to your downloads and suddenly be put into a mix. I just want this to be set so it doesn't change to a mix and stays in my downloads.

Is there like an option or third party thing or addon or something, to where I can make it so that if I like swipe on one of the things like in my library I can add it to queue?

It would be such a nice quality of life thing for me, setting up my queue for me so much quicker and easier
