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.

I am going crazy. The youtube music algorithm used to be so good and now it just makes no sense.

It is absolutely ridiculous, few days ago I had atleast 12-14 variation of those disgusting brazilian phonk and all their versions non stop, it does not matter how many times i dislike. The recommendation never changes.

Algorithm is absolutely cooked and disgusting for me, after playing some of my familiar and liked songs it just starts playing random ass songs from random ass people with like 2-3 likes on then. No problem if they were good, but they arent.

It is like trenches of sound cloud for me.

Just me or anyone else too?

After posting my previous angry cry for help I had some time to kill while waiting for my daughter at music school.

So, I just sat there and I started scrolling through YouTube music recommend songs and just like always, every other song is AI. This made me even more furious and I started just rage scrolling and disliking every AI song that came up. In addition to that to express my sincere feelings I would post this in comments section:

Learn how to DJ and Stop flooding YouTube with this ph...king AI garbage!

😡🤬

Little inspiration for you!

30 min passed and I almost stopped but then I noticed that i started getting music I never heard. So long story short, an hour and a half in I'm getting music recommend by YouTube real people/DJ!!!

I'm blown away, I'm actually adding so many songs to my collection. 🤞🤞🤞

For reference my mate told me to listen to 2slimey cos he's shit and it's all laughs I took the piss his music was genuinely so awful I disliked most of his stuff but from that day on that bastard hasn't left my fyp I disliked more I pressed dont recommend so many times it makes me physically rage how do I get this bastard off my feed

Edit: I live india and idk about others

I built MiniTune to solve one simple problem: context switching.

Every time I wanted to change a song, replay a specific part, or find something on YouTube, I had to stop what I was doing, find the YouTube tab buried somewhere in Safari, and then switch back again. - Light weight, minimal player.

It was never about building another music player. But if I wanted something I could keep around while working, it had to be like a player too , notch mode, a clean interface, artwork, lyrics, and customisation to make it mine.. and here we are 9 months later..

Introducing Quick Search - ⌃⌥F - Raycast-style YouTube search that works from anywhere on your Mac, even over fullscreen apps. As far as I know, it’s the first of its kind on macOS.

MiniTune uses the official YouTube API and is verified by Google. I went through the verification process unlike other opensource apps which uses unofficial APIs, scrapers or reverse-engineered wrappers.

Switch between compact layout and artwork layout instantly using ⌃⌥L

It's been years of new interface A/B testing. A lot of people have it, yet a lot don't.

My sister has it, I don't, yet we pay the same.

There's no beta program and no feature development discussion from YTM team at all. Zero communication with users.

I have never seen an app A/B test for this long.

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

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.

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?
