I sometimes decide to try out YouTube Music for playing some of the music I have saved on YT in a more music focused UI.

Then I go back straight back to regular YouTube, because half the songs/music can't be played in YT Music (including offical music on official channels).

I feel like I get some good value out of YT Premium, but I don't understand YT Music.

    Interesting use case.

    I’m opposite. I want 0 video functionality in the app and just want audio. When they made the YouTube integration more visible I started getting the ick.

    And, at least for me, the recommendation is by far better, than Spotify was. I had Spotify premium, liked a lot of songs, tried to use it regularly. And when it went on its on after my playlist finished, 5 out of 10 recommended songs were...shit. No matter how much I tried to like or disklike songs. When they started current YT Music (after the Play Music shutdown), I tried it and it was leagues better from the get-go (the recommendations, that is). I assume that's because they have my 10+ years old YT history. Anyway, I cancelled Spotify and happily use YT Music.
    I'm well aware that it could be different for everybody.
