    They pushed so hard for youtube music, which is nowhere near as good as play music was (had a subscription there…amazing little app, if you even remember that), that I forgot completely about Google podcasts. Spotify really marketed its podcast feature too well so I used that instead.

      I don’t know how anyone on Android uses Spotify. That app is such dogshit.

      Also rip forever Google play music

        Honestly I think YouTube music is finally at parity with Google music. I’d prefer some of the fluff to go away (e.g. the comments, samples, & podcasts) but overall it’s gotten much better.

          Can I upload my entire 600gb+ library to it for free and access it anywhere anytime?

          Auto cache? Redownload so it acts as a backup?

            I think you know the answer to that. That was a pretty spectacular feature that I never thought was going to last. Regardless of branding. Hopefully you uploaded your music and transferred it over to YouTube music before the deadline.

              Yea I think all my music is on there, but the app is such garbage and unnavigable, I bought a 1tb micro SD card and said fuck that shit.

                It is not an intuitive app to navigate. I would 100% rather have Google music but YouTube music isn’t as horrible as it used to be. That’s not a ringing endorsement but I’m glad it isn’t still a dumpster fire

        I can’t argue with that, it was just useful to migrate my data across multiple devices. I badly miss the ui if play music, and I mean it.

        You must not know many Android users then. Almost all the android users I know (like 90% of them) use spotify. And I think all the apple users I know use it.

          I know many Android users who use it and I don’t know why. Apple music and Tidal music is better in every way.

          The Spotify app is so bad it’s embarrassing.

            So first you say you don’t know any Android users that use Spotify, now you’re saying you know many Android users that use Spotify… so which is it?

          The desktop apps suck but on mobile it’s the best music streaming service there is, imo. It has a few features I‘d like it to add but other services don’t have some key features that are much more important to me
