Honest question, why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium? Also, does no one use Pandora anymore? I still use it occasionally.

You mean because that subscription includes premium YouTube Music?

Yes. I see people with multiple subscriptions, including like yt and Spotify, and I don't understand why. Lol Do the offer services offer something other than just ad free listening that you wouldn't get with yt music?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There's definitely differences in the catalogs. If there's a particular genre that isn't well represented on YouTube Music that is well covered on Spotify. Maybe they just got YT Premium as a family subscription because the kids are on YouTube all the time. I personally can't imagine switching to a service that doesn't have a digital locker for me to upload my existing library like YouTube Music does (though I'm still mad at the uploads being less integrated than they were in GPM).

I still use it, often. And no ads either with wireguard going to my pi-hole.

So Pandora stops playing for me if it can't get ads, it wasn't like that in the past but more recently it has become a pattern.

Idk, worst I get is about 5 seconds of silence

Well, I had been happy with YouTube music for years, but I'm frustrated by this at the moment:

Exactly. And Spotify for example is horrendous. I don't understand how people can use an app that is so slow and buggy.
