As someone who’s never used Spotify I guess I don’t know what I’m missing out on but I found it interesting all the same to compare them. It’s just more economical to have YouTube premium with YouTube music added in for free!
I have YTM through a family plan with a friend and Spotify through the student discount program, so YTM is for the music I listen to over and over and over and over and Spotify is for like, big boy listening times where I’m sitting down with an album (until I get speakers for my record player anyways)
tfw you are the guy who just gets free bandcamp codes from discords, downloads the FLACs, archives them in triplicate (NAS, offsite backup, cold storage backup), then converts them to opus, and then puts the .ogg files on your phone OR records from the flacs onto cassette for in the woods listening with the knockoff walkman you’ve had since childhood.
YTM and Spotify and the ilk just seem like too much work.
reading that just once again reminded me of how much requirements for those services can differ from person to person. especially that section about integrations. never threw money at spotify or youtube music fwiw
Me as a bandcamp user : 💀
I moved to YTM when Spotify just would not stop trying to shove Rogan down my throat at every opportunity. The iOS app itself has some rough edges but otherwise, no regrets. I used a tool to transfer over my playlists and likes, and from there it’s been perfectly good. Plus YT Premium is nice to have, too.
What did you use? I recently migrated to YT Premium and want to move on from Spotify but… oh my playlists.
I honestly can’t remember. There’s some options listed here. I might have used Soundiiz? I seem to remember it was something I had to subscribe to, but only for a month just to get all my playlists and likes moved, and then once that was done, canceled the subscription. I remember there were a few cases where a song didn’t convert because the name or specific mix or whatever was different, but I could just search it on YTM and add it.
