I prefer YT Music because you can get user uploaded stuff like instrumentals, remix's, user made music, live performances and unreleased tracks. As well as it comes with RUclips premium.
Same! Used Spotify for years but I just switched earlier to RUclips Music because it's more affordable. I used to have both RUclips Premium and Spotify Premium and that costs me approximately 10 dollars per month.
When comes to the pricing, RUclips music also comes with RUclips premium(no ad, download, YT original) and Google play music. A pretty good deal i guess?
Its also easier to find music on RUclips than Spotify. You can just type some of the lyrics of the song you want and RUclips will most likely find it. Can't do that on Spotify
@@james3032 not that. Sometimes you dont know the title of a song but you only know some part of it. So you type in the part that you know in YT Music and the top result is most likely the song that you are looking for.
@@rajeshpapani I don't know what are you talking about bro but you'll find 100 times more songs on RUclips music. All singers, famous or not upload their music on RUclips, not all do same in case of Spotify. You can literally add vids/music from RUclips to RUclips Music libraries. So if you watch one music vid and it recommends you another... You can have that in your playlist. Spotify does that too but it has a few songs only.
@@raven55six i add some albums ,songs to playlist to listen only those songs,but when i search the song name its shows all songs from YTM , what's use with playlists, library when we cant search playlist songs only?no details available of songs like lyricist,music director
YT music is bundled with YT premium so pricing wise it is best bang for buck. Organization of playlists, recommendations is better on Spotify than YT IMHO.
Actually, no. You can get Hulu and Showtime with Spotify premium if you are a student for only $5 a month. Even disregarding the student pricing, Spotify has just been out for longer and thus is far more refined and polished, in addition to having a larger catalog.
I personally like underground rappers and I find that you can only find them on SoundCloud or RUclips Music so that is the main reason I have RUclips music premium.
Other pros for each platform: RUclips music has those super rare 80s/90s underground House Music classics that Spotify will never have. Spotify has integration with Amazon Echo devices so I can play a music across several devices simultaneously. Spotify also has integration with Shazam which I use quite often.
I use both.. 60% of the time Spotify , 30% RUclips Music, 8% SoundCloud, 2% MixCloud ( i pay for Spotify and YT music, I pay $3 a month to support a DJ I really like on MixCloud.)
Main pros of why I use YT : 1. More variety of artists. You can discover more underground or non-mainstream artsists 2. Live-performances, instrumentals, remixes The only major con I have with YT is something that spotify offers which is the "like" feature. On spotify, when you like mulitple songs from an artist, that will automatically create an artist playlist for you with all the songs you liked in sequence of the albums they are under. YT has no feature like this. Instead it shows all under one "Liked songs" playlist. You'll have to manually create playlists for each genre/artist which can be a hassle but for myself I can tolerate that.
The only things I don’t like of YT music is the Library System is a mess. Randomly removes my songs added to a playlist. Changes certain songs of mine to one with the same name but different artists.
With the Your Mixtape playlist, it’s randomizes, when you click on the playlist you get a list of music, that you like and could potentially like, but after you click out and click back in, it gives you another random set of your favorite and potentially likable music. Edit: I’m talking about RUclips music
After comparing several songs back to back, face to face on RUclips Music vs Spotify vs Tidal, I noticed that RUclips Music has a louder volume and better EQ sound quality than either Spotify or Tidal. just my honest opinion. I've been playing guitar and dialing EQ settings on my instruments and equipment for 5 years and I could honestly swear that I think RUclips Music has clearer highs and punchier bass with a mid range scoop that isn't too severe- it's just nuanced, and it really lets the speaker kick loud enough. but again, just my opinion.
I have RUclips Music, I like it the best. Love the fact that u can find full live concerts to add to ur playlist and can create a music list that u can listen to offline.
RUclips music is a better deal if you pay for Premium. The pros of premium are just insane when you get used to having it. However, Spotify has the social factor and most people share Spotify playlists not RUclips music playlists, especially during social gatherings. So I'd say if it's just for you, get RUclips premium. But if you're more of a social person and love sharing music, go with Spotify.
Well I prefer YM algorithm it really give u more unique music. Also I can use mix of hours in one playback. For radio just play radio of your Artist that u want. And the thing I love the most about YM is the interface when u can double tap to move on your playback 10/15s (as u wish in the settings, also 5/20/30/60s) back and forward! And of course you got all the music in the world ☺️
I am using RUclips music because I can add music videos of my native language in my playlist. I speak kokborok and listen to kokborok songs very often, they don't upload it on spotify.
I only wish you could be more organized on YT Music. I like Spotify because I can organize things in folders. Playlists turn into a mess, you can't keep them in A-Z order, they order them by last saved.
I like YT Music more because it's connected to YT. There's also user uploads, remix's and there are multiple versions of a song, etc. It's basically just YT but only music - this is great because it has YT's search power, like you can just type in a lyric of a song. Just needs improvements, like the fact that you have to add songs to a playlist one by one is annoying.
I believe Spotify premium costs more than RUclips premium that comes with RUclips music. As a single consumer who cares about music diversity and uses youtube a lot and doesn't want to see ads, Spotify seems like a waste of money, not to mention it doesn't have a lot of music that I like. If I want quality music I just buy a digital version or a CD.
I really like the Spotify radio algorithm, sometimes I just went through a deep rabbit hole with the radio system in Spotify, it's like reading through Wikipedia. At some point, you were just reading through some documented stuff and at the end somehow you ended up reading about cats for some reason. It's how I discover new artists that I have never hear about. On the other hand, RUclips Music doesn't generate its Radio features really well like Spotify. They do sometimes play other artists, but when you list through the queue list, you can see that they just list up the same artist on the same album or they generate a different kind of album for that particular artist. For example, if I put up a radio for Chemical Romance, at some point you might hear Green Day played for a while, and the next song quickly jump back to Chemical Romance. I'm currently on RUclips Premium right now. I'm still considering changing back to Spotify. But I'm been getting used to YT music for now. Plus you get ad-free videos from watching RUclips. What's not to like about that. I've been seeing some improvement in YT Music. We'll just have to see in the near future what they might have to offer.
It's cool that you've started to see improvements to YT music already. I agree that I think YT music will start to have even more great features come in over the next few years. More tough competition for Apple Music and Spotify!
I've had RUclips Premium already for about a year. I just found out RUclips Premium comes with RUclips Music. It even has a bigger library than spotify... Been draining money away all year... Goodbye Spotify🙂
Ok so basically I listen to music non stop. Either on my phone or my cars stereo. I have both spotify and you tube music. For my taste when listening in my car RUclips music sound quality is higher then spotify. The bass in much more punchier and the high are very high. The rumble off the bass in loud. Spotify on the other hand not so good. I believe 320 kpbs on spotify while 256 kpbs on RUclips music. But from what I hear this isn't true. So I believe RUclips has better sound quality. More choice as far as mixes. For example clear bandit music .we have 6 different remixes of a song. While spotify only has the original and maybe on remix of the a song. So I believe RUclips music is more value for the money. This is coming from a 4 year spotify user.
RUclips is amazing for searching songs in another language. Can’t live without it. Sadly haven’t use other apps cause youtube is already so dame good already.
I dominantly use Spotify because of the recommendation algorithm and seamless playing. However I also love RUclips music because it bundles up with RUclips premium and Google play music but the YTmusic app still needs a lot of work in terms of integrating the interface. Also I subscribe to Apple music because its way better to navigate through artists and albums and offline playing is better. Plus I live in China and Apple music is $1.5 a month so why not🤷🏾♂️
@@CharlesCleyn definitely. I see it surpassing the competition. But with google it might take some time considering that they have way bigger projects and that they always kill off projects midway
@@CharlesCleyn Its more applicable to dance music, but instead of having a minute (or 30 seconds) of intro and outro each, and about a minute drop Spotify will have just the radio edit which has no intro/outro and a shorter drop segment. Songs could go from 6+ minutes down to 4. for example: compare these 2 songs, the radio edit vs the extended mix. ruclips.net/video/JHOX-T5FNI4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/CBsVRqaJJA4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Rhm_-gMbTGU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/q8kUckZ15fE/видео.html
For those wondering about cross platform control and compatibility with smart speakers: Spotify Connect allows you to listen on one device and control your media through your Alexa app, desktop, and/or mobile Spotify client(s). You can also 'Cast' to a Google smart speaker from any Spotify client, allowing you to control the media through Google Home & the client itself. In comparison, YT Music only supports 'Cast,' which makes sense considering both are Google products. You cannot configure YT Music directly for use with Alexa-powered devices, which also makes sense considering they are two tech giants in competition, with each offering their own streaming service. The workaround for this is using your Alexa-powered device as a Bluetooth speaker for use with YT Music (or any other media on the playback device that is to be paired). There are guides online that detail how to set that up. Although this is a viable alternative, it has its caveats and is something I (personally) would not want to do. For me, the decision to stay with Spotify is based on the devices I own. Spotify is compatible with Google Home & Alexa devices, with cross-platform control and an intuitive interface. As much as I want to give YT Music a chance, I am not willing to pay for another service due to streaming restrictions on devices that are not compatible with Google Cast. I hope this helped, and thank you Charles for this excellent comparison.
I have both, but I'm trying to eliminate duplications or broad overlaps in paid subscriptions for financial reasons. Thank you for an excellent evaluation! Definitely facilitates my decision-making process!
The MOST important thing in a comparison between Music streaming services is their Audio Quality. Yet that wasn't even mentioned. Would have been a much better comparison had that point been included.
i'm pretty new to trying youtube premium, but already love the no ads for ALL of youtube . But one thing I haven't figured out yet is if YT Music has the nice exercise options like spotify does. I like being able to control the candence to match running speed a LOT a
@@CharlesCleyn just get adblocker on youtube if you watch videos on a browser, and listen to spotify premium on your phone, seems like it's more convenient and it's investing a lot on quality music creators/podcasters. They offered Joe Rogan a 100 million dollar deal, which ultimately made me join the spotify side.
Huge oversight not mentioning that RUclips Premium is included in the RUclips music subscription. For those that watch a lot of RUclips, that is a game changer and something Spotify just can't compete with.
did I not mention that? I'm sure i must have or at least I mentioned it on my entire review of youtube music here: ruclips.net/video/eiEE-s_3g-g/видео.html
You get more with RUclips's premium service. You can browse through your phone while RUclips is playing the background. You can also lock your phone and listen to a video or music from RUclips. Yes, they have the same monthly price tag, but you get more with RUclips.
Like Paige below, I've been with Spotify for years, but am about to move because youtube premium (£12pm ) *includes* youtube music which definitely makes it a much better deal overall.
On RUclips music, the Google assistant won't play from your transfered library. Regardless of your phrasing, it will always stream a random playlist. Basically, you can't even use voice commands to circumvent the shifty U.I. when you want to play the music that you paid for.
I started with youtube music, and only recently changed over to Spotify, I still use youtube music for all of my favourite songs that are absent on Spotify. But my main platform is Spotify cause of all of its features
been using Spotify since 2014 and I don't want to let them go because of RUclips Premium! I haven't tried that RUclips Premium, and they always gave pop-ups to subscribe to them and they offered one-month free trial. Maybe in the future I might change my mind and maybe switch to RUclips Premium. Maybe. haha but thanks for the honest feedback/comparison!
Only update YTMusic needs is a better interface with not hiding the repeat or shuffle button. It’s really annoying having to turn that on every time I use the app. Overall I love YTMusic 🤘🏽
RUclips Music has had the radio feature since the beginning but comes up through searching a specific Artist or genre that I've seen and used. Maybe that's still a drawback in a UI difference from Spotify where you have a library of Radio Stations to choose from upfront vs being singled out based in what/who you searched for on YT Music.
Thanks so much Charles for sharing. I was using Google Play, which was pretty good for me, but going to RUclips --well, I had my doubts. You video has helped me decide for now which direction to go. I'm a big podcast listener, recently discovering them, and so that clearly leads me in the Spodify direction, which for now, I will take. Stay safe!
@@zackfeinberg5113 Same here. The bitrate is lower but how come it sounds so much better. It makes my standard sound system in my car sound like it's BOSE or somethin! Even Tidal could not do this. What gives?
It all makes sense where youre coming from but I tend to choose youtube music over spotify mainly because as a mobile user spotify will always shuffle your music if you don't have premium and as you may tell, I don't pay for premium yet.
youtube has much more og songs because when i search voracity on spotify it pops some remixes not the og however when i search the same thing on yt music i instantly found the og song
Charles Cleyn well no at the end of the day you’re getting 2 services instead of just one. RUclips Premium has downloads for your favorite music and videos and no ads for music and videos which helps when your watching long movies and there’s a ad every 15-20 minutes
Charles Cleyn yes. If you get yt premium it includes originals and music with no ads on the youtube platform. It’s a better deal if you watch a lot of videos on mobile. I think the best is to go for a family plan as it has a better value and you can share with friends
I like RUclips music because it has not only normal mainstream music but also millions of individual creators and ton of music themes and Anime openings, endings,OSTs etc... And SoundCloud is good as well, so I'm going with YT music and sound cloud and ad version of spotify just in case 😅.
Changed to yt music, mainly bc I get yt premium with it too. And that is a deal breaker for me, bc I hate ads and now double ads on yt. especially on phones where u cant have adblocker. And at the same time supp the youtuber I watch. Also premium viewers give more money to the youtuber than the ones who watch the ads. So its all around better deal, and the features will come eventually since yt music is quite new.
Spotify is missing songs frome some smaller countries less famous artists. For example i like Bulgarian rock from the 90s and that is missing on Spotify. Also some older artists that don't perform anymore. That is why i prefer RUclips music. And in the category "discover new music" i think it is a tie. So i prefer RUclips music just for the extra songs. The extra features on Spotify aren't that appealing to me, i don't use them that much. But i guess is something that is a subjective preference at the end
Thank you for the well thought out comparison, the details between the two companies. I currently have the no advertisements on RUclips which comes with RUclips music. Don't want to pay additional money for spotify.
I still use RUclips Music, but one thing that is still irritating me is the shuffle button is broken AF for years and they don't even bother to fix it despite many people are already complained!
I do most of my listening on YT music but interestingly RUclips is better for live performances and old footage from TV programs etc. Ref. YT music discovery; I am as likely to listen to Bikini Kill as the Seekers and discovery will react but if I play Carlos Gardel I don't get offered more Tango.
The only true issue with RUclips music is the Quality of audio files can vary. For example I setup a mixtape full of sabbath, ccr, etc and some of those songs were uploaded like 10 years ago. So the mixing and stereo wasn’t that great. Lots of compression because they’re technically videos instead of audio files like spotify.
@@CharlesCleyn That’s all I’ve used RUclips music on. It’s truly a mixed bag. Any older songs you lookup or songs added by random youtubers years ago can sometimes sound like crap. Especially with bass. I’ll be in my car and lookup something like “Bitch” by Tech N9ne and the bass is nonexistent but I play the version on Vimeo or whatever and it’s just fine.
They must add yt music to PlayStation, Xbox and to every platform for full experience. If this happens I reckon a lot of people on Spotify will switch to Yt music because it’s more better.
As of MAY 2020, many SPOTIFY subscribers are no longer able to see the APPEARS ON Section on their mobile OR desktop apps. The SPOTIFY web browser ONLY has 50 titles visible. There are plenty of complaints on the Spotify website forums AND on twitter. They are avoiding the issue, pretty much. They don't want to pay for music streams as much as before. They are hurting the artists. Actually, they are BETRAYING the artists
one issue i found with youtube music is that it takes most/all the music from youtuber by filtering out ‘non-music’ and sometimes the music from youtube isn’t moved to youtube music (it’s obvious when an artist who uploads mainly songs only, but only has half the songs on youtube music, however, this was a while ago and it might of changed)
I strongly like and use Google products but I must admit that even after a couple of serious tries I always go back to Spotify. It is difficult to explain but I don't feel comfortable with YTM interface. When I search for a song I find it difficult to differentiate between a video, a song or whatever. Specially on the road it is not easy to quickly pick up what you want. In addition, the catalog for oldies, classics and non-trendy stuff seems inferior than Spotify. I have encountered many cases in which a song is in Spotify but not in YTM.
LOL, good vid mate. I'm subbed to YT Premium and I didn't know they had a YT Music. D'uh :-) SO I cancelled my Spotify premium account to try YT music for a look see. I'm paying for it already so might as well huh.
Hey gav hasting, so I'm thinking about trying yt premium and are still having doubts. Can you tell me your experience to purchasinh Yt Premium w/RUclipsMP
It is interesting to see that the algorithm for Spotify has worked so well for everyone else. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that Spotify does a terrible job of recommending new music to me.
@@CharlesCleyn Yeah, I use Spotify frequently, and my recommendations are usually songs/albums I have recently listened to or music from artists I haven't listened to in months. They do have new recommendations sprinkled here or there, but it is typically not anything I end up liking. I've started the free trial of RUclips Music Premium based on your feedback from this video as well as your other recent video of the service, so I am excited to see how my experience will be.
I like YT because it has knows my music interests. YT also recommends music according to my library and playlist. YT music categorize my music and and organize it in group mixes. I've used Spotify in the past. My choice is RUclips.
Another great feature on Spotify is the local files feature. You can upload songs or mp3 files from your computer and sync them to all of you devices :)
doesn't work for me. 2 of 30 local files are playable, and half of it have their mp3-tags in Chinese for some reason. Absolute garbage. So sad Spotify doesn't have all the remixes RUclips has...
The information that I wanted! 👍🏻 But you didn't mention about the sound quality in premium feature of both platforms, The comparison I dearly seek. As Spotify and RUclips music claims they have enhanced music quality like good bass and 3D surround. What do you think about that?
Funny you mention that because I was looking at it today too. I think youtube is doing a better job at trying to get good audio quality from their music videos but I've only seen them do this on mobile not desktop yet. I noticed on mobile you can change the quality, therefore listening to the actual audio and not the video file. Have you noticed anything?
@@CharlesCleyn Oh crud, Too late! I just purchased a 3 months subscription of Spotify premium 18 mins ago. 🙁 Well! Sound quality is the real game for me. I did try RUclips (non-premium), It just gives you the audio quality what you hear in the video, Many distortions sometimes. I didn't have a good experience with YT music to be frank in terms of "Audio quality". In my opinion if you understand music, You'll surely know the difference between "320 kbps MP3" and "AAC". According to some people they don't have any difference in sound quality. I was just looking for a detailed analysis of the sound quality in both the respective platforms.
@@CharlesCleyn That is so sweet of you to encourage me. But the thing is I really am a wuss, I can't make a video. 😅 Never done it before. But you can! Just suggesting.
the main problem I have with you tube music is only getting the live version of certain songs case in point the eagles. I have always preferred studio versions if I want to hear live music I'll go to a concert. really listening to live music annoys me with al the stupid clapping. Admittedly most you tube music searches give you the studio version not the live one so I'll stay with it for the moment. Also I wish independent artists well but I have no interest whatsoever in them my final point I succeeded in copying my play music library to you tube music but if I shazam a tune I can upload it to playmusic but cant add it to my you tube music library either directly from shazam or from play music library. Hopefully when play music ceases forever that uploading from shazam to you tube music will be possible like one can from spotify apple music etc
I only have RUclips Music Premium and not Spotify Premium but both stream at 320kb when you pay so I'd imagine both sound roughly the same. That said, if your watching the video version of the song on RUclips Music, you're getting the RUclips quality which isn't that great. Just listening to the song however it sounds pretty good. That said I know other streaming services like Tidal offer way better quality if you're willing to pay $20 a month instead of $10.
I switched to Google team about 3 years (GPM first) ago due to some issues with spotify app. The only thing that really really missed was spotify connect kind of feature. being able to control music from any device is awesome. Other than that I think they are both great services, though YTM is a bit more repetitive when discovering or completely misses the target, there is no middle ground yet. I'm sure they will get there. We are talking about one the best companies in the world doing AI algorithms and finding out what you want. You can upload your own music to youtube music (very recent feature to deprecate GPM) which is something I think spotify will never have.
I have Spotify and many songs I like aren't available in either platform as actual music albums, but are available as official album playlists on RUclips. Since YT Music can make use of its videos, I can now have can have access to those songs. All the Lakeside, Shalamar, Midnight Star albums are on RUclips, so that's the main reason I'm switching to YT Music.
@@CharlesCleyn Well, I haven't switched just yet, but, as you say, the overall design of Spotify is more polished and thought out. I have a question: can you use YT Music in your car via bluetooth (without Android Auto or Apple CarPlay)?
YT music does have a radio feature? You can Access it by choosing an artist and clicking radio-button. Then it tries to find similar music and plays it forever. I use radio feature to discover new music.
I love RUclips Music... there are video songs, audio songs, cover songs, instrumental versions uploaded by common people... so much more to explore plus RUclips Premium that's ad free throughout youtube, Plays videos or audios in the background and that's all for 129 INR (1.8 USD), a months Really I feel those are paying for any other music streaming service is really ignorant fool, when there's RUclips Premium
2 major things you forgot to mention.First sound quality and second is how you stream it to your sound system. There are a number of streaming devices out there and some very good ones that support Spotify and the Spotify app on your phone can control the app on your desk top. With RUclips music you are stuck with the app on your phone and the app on your desk top. But the phone can not control your desktop app.I can not find a single streaming device that supports RUclips music. Maybe somebody who reads this could help me.
There's a native podcast app for Google called Google Podcast, maybe they'll integrate over time. Also there's now a very interesting feature which is music uploads, The YTM desktop or PWA app allows you to upload you bought music on other platform like Bandcamp e.g. to a dedicated server for you with total access.
I prefer YT Music because you can get user uploaded stuff like instrumentals, remix's, user made music, live performances and unreleased tracks. As well as it comes with RUclips premium.
This is true and sometimes the live performances of songs are often better than the recorded versions. Have you found that?
@@CharlesCleyn Definitely
Found a concert on Han Zimmermann soundtrack so awesome. Keeping youtube music premium only cost less than 4 usd where I live. Hehhee
@@hellothere-us7iw that's a great price, why so good?
To be clear... RUclips Music premium comes along with RUclips premium and not the other way around!!
I’ve used Spotify for years, but switched to RUclips Music because of it comes with RUclips Premium which makes it a much better deal overall.
True, it's nice to have those options for TV
Same! Used Spotify for years but I just switched earlier to RUclips Music because it's more affordable. I used to have both RUclips Premium and Spotify Premium and that costs me approximately 10 dollars per month.
I hope the soon throw Stadia into that deal too
@@CharmaineAlmasen quick question how'd you export your music from spotify to YT music? my biggest concern for switching is having to remake playlists
I just switched to RUclips music from Apple Music because I watch a lot of RUclips so that’s why I went with you to premium
When comes to the pricing, RUclips music also comes with RUclips premium(no ad, download, YT original) and Google play music.
A pretty good deal i guess?
A pretty good deal, especially if YT original keeps making great content

Hussain Abbas Yea I have a problem with binging yt videos in general and Im less likely to use it on my phone if there ads playing. I prefer real life
Its also easier to find music on RUclips than Spotify. You can just type some of the lyrics of the song you want and RUclips will most likely find it. Can't do that on Spotify
That's very true, the power of Google!
I like RUclips Music because of the algorithm in the search is really nice you can search for lyrics to a song and it will find it
Harpreet Thind RUclips also has literally every song ever made
What? Anyone can search for lyrics on google on youtube.
@@james3032 not that. Sometimes you dont know the title of a song but you only know some part of it. So you type in the part that you know in YT Music and the top result is most likely the song that you are looking for.
There is a huge amount of songs that don't exist on Spotify at all. Remixes, remakes and bass boosted, etc there is a lot on RUclips.
Actually. That's what i m try na say this whole time
thats the problem with YTM,u search within ur library,no use with library, playlist on YTM
@@rajeshpapani I don't know what are you talking about bro but you'll find 100 times more songs on RUclips music. All singers, famous or not upload their music on RUclips, not all do same in case of Spotify. You can literally add vids/music from RUclips to RUclips Music libraries. So if you watch one music vid and it recommends you another... You can have that in your playlist. Spotify does that too but it has a few songs only.

Absolutely, by the way, RUclips premium and music is cheaper than Spotify if you buy with a Indian VPN
@@Ecofg Have you tried Tidal?
@@CharlesCleyn neup, not yet
@@CharlesCleyn I tried Tidal few months and now I think about going back to Sporify or try YT Music
YT music is bundled with YT premium so pricing wise it is best bang for buck. Organization of playlists, recommendations is better on Spotify than YT IMHO.
Actually, no. You can get Hulu and Showtime with Spotify premium if you are a student for only $5 a month. Even disregarding the student pricing, Spotify has just been out for longer and thus is far more refined and polished, in addition to having a larger catalog.
Yes, i didn't know about the hulu + showtime thing , that's pretty cool
Spencer Carruth yeah, those 2 are irrelevant to me.
@Ritchie B What is that show?
Jay G RUclips has most music, Spotify has best ui and ai recommendations
Another point for YT Music: There are less ads than there are on Spotify for the free membership
I personally like underground rappers and I find that you can only find them on SoundCloud or RUclips Music so that is the main reason I have RUclips music premium.
This is true. There's definitely way more underground music on these platforms
Same here and ithink soundcloud is better but you cant play offline
Sound cloud rappers huh? That's rough. I hope you start feeling better soon. 😥
Im thinking of switching to youtube music cuz of soundclouds shit 500 song playlist limit
YTM gives you access to so many remixes/different versions of a song and not the same ole studio version you've heard for years.
Other pros for each platform: RUclips music has those super rare 80s/90s underground House Music classics that Spotify will never have. Spotify has integration with Amazon Echo devices so I can play a music across several devices simultaneously. Spotify also has integration with Shazam which I use quite often.
I use both.. 60% of the time Spotify , 30% RUclips Music, 8% SoundCloud, 2% MixCloud ( i pay for Spotify and YT music, I pay $3 a month to support a DJ I really like on MixCloud.)
Main pros of why I use YT :
1. More variety of artists. You can discover more underground or non-mainstream artsists
2. Live-performances, instrumentals, remixes
The only major con I have with YT is something that spotify offers which is the "like" feature. On spotify, when you like mulitple songs from an artist, that will automatically create an artist playlist for you with all the songs you liked in sequence of the albums they are under. YT has no feature like this. Instead it shows all under one "Liked songs" playlist. You'll have to manually create playlists for each genre/artist which can be a hassle but for myself I can tolerate that.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Tes on Spotify I like RUclips not but Spotify has your own mixes whixh can go on for hours
The only things I don’t like of YT music is the Library System is a mess. Randomly removes my songs added to a playlist. Changes certain songs of mine to one with the same name but different artists.
With the Your Mixtape playlist, it’s randomizes, when you click on the playlist you get a list of music, that you like and could potentially like, but after you click out and click back in, it gives you another random set of your favorite and potentially likable music.
Edit: I’m talking about RUclips music
After comparing several songs back to back, face to face on RUclips Music vs Spotify vs Tidal, I noticed that RUclips Music has a louder volume and better EQ sound quality than either Spotify or Tidal. just my honest opinion.
I've been playing guitar and dialing EQ settings on my instruments and equipment for 5 years and I could honestly swear that I think RUclips Music has clearer highs and punchier bass with a mid range scoop that isn't too severe- it's just nuanced, and it really lets the speaker kick loud enough.
but again, just my opinion.
That's interesting as they say spotify has better sound quality
I COMPLETELY agree!!! I totally think RUclips sounds better.
I have RUclips Music, I like it the best. Love the fact that u can find full live concerts to add to ur playlist and can create a music list that u can listen to offline.
RUclips music has been great for a year, but it has improved, an updated comparison could be useful ! Great vid nonetheless
yes, definitely think YT is improving the fastest..
RUclips music is a better deal if you pay for Premium. The pros of premium are just insane when you get used to having it. However, Spotify has the social factor and most people share Spotify playlists not RUclips music playlists, especially during social gatherings. So I'd say if it's just for you, get RUclips premium. But if you're more of a social person and love sharing music, go with Spotify.
go to youtube music pick an artist then click on the 3 vertical dots on the upper right corner and select creat rradio station
Thanks for this great tip! Do you use the radio feature a lot?
Well I prefer YM algorithm it really give u more unique music. Also I can use mix of hours in one playback. For radio just play radio of your Artist that u want. And the thing I love the most about YM is the interface when u can double tap to move on your playback 10/15s (as u wish in the settings, also 5/20/30/60s) back and forward! And of course you got all the music in the world ☺️
I also think the next few years will be really big for YT music since they're only just beginning really.. what do you think Roy?
I am using RUclips music because I can add music videos of my native language in my playlist. I speak kokborok and listen to kokborok songs very often, they don't upload it on spotify.
@Ken Milton Tam-og well, that's the only catchy and circle shaped icon I found.
"Why I use YT Music"
Me: *searches woppapagagganga style*
Spotify: "What the hell was that?!"
YT Music: "You mean, Gangnam Style?"
I only wish you could be more organized on YT Music. I like Spotify because I can organize things in folders. Playlists turn into a mess, you can't keep them in A-Z order, they order them by last saved.
I like YT Music more because it's connected to YT. There's also user uploads, remix's and there are multiple versions of a song, etc. It's basically just YT but only music - this is great because it has YT's search power, like you can just type in a lyric of a song. Just needs improvements, like the fact that you have to add songs to a playlist one by one is annoying.
I believe Spotify premium costs more than RUclips premium that comes with RUclips music. As a single consumer who cares about music diversity and uses youtube a lot and doesn't want to see ads, Spotify seems like a waste of money, not to mention it doesn't have a lot of music that I like. If I want quality music I just buy a digital version or a CD.
I really like the Spotify radio algorithm, sometimes I just went through a deep rabbit hole with the radio system in Spotify, it's like reading through Wikipedia. At some point, you were just reading through some documented stuff and at the end somehow you ended up reading about cats for some reason. It's how I discover new artists that I have never hear about.
On the other hand, RUclips Music doesn't generate its Radio features really well like Spotify. They do sometimes play other artists, but when you list through the queue list, you can see that they just list up the same artist on the same album or they generate a different kind of album for that particular artist. For example, if I put up a radio for Chemical Romance, at some point you might hear Green Day played for a while, and the next song quickly jump back to Chemical Romance.
I'm currently on RUclips Premium right now. I'm still considering changing back to Spotify. But I'm been getting used to YT music for now. Plus you get ad-free videos from watching RUclips. What's not to like about that. I've been seeing some improvement in YT Music. We'll just have to see in the near future what they might have to offer.
It's cool that you've started to see improvements to YT music already. I agree that I think YT music will start to have even more great features come in over the next few years. More tough competition for Apple Music and Spotify!
Yes !
Video has mentioned the biggest reason I decided next to RUclips. The search engine has offer much better music from first time than Spotify ever.
And it will only get better and better
I've had RUclips Premium already for about a year. I just found out RUclips Premium comes with RUclips Music. It even has a bigger library than spotify... Been draining money away all year... Goodbye Spotify🙂
Ok so basically I listen to music non stop. Either on my phone or my cars stereo. I have both spotify and you tube music. For my taste when listening in my car RUclips music sound quality is higher then spotify. The bass in much more punchier and the high are very high. The rumble off the bass in loud. Spotify on the other hand not so good. I believe 320 kpbs on spotify while 256 kpbs on RUclips music. But from what I hear this isn't true. So I believe RUclips has better sound quality. More choice as far as mixes. For example clear bandit music .we have 6 different remixes of a song. While spotify only has the original and maybe on remix of the a song. So I believe RUclips music is more value for the money. This is coming from a 4 year spotify user.
thanks for your thoughts!
I felt that difference too, mainly on the bass deepness and highs range. Highly dynamic musics get killed on Spotify.
@@sqyzysoda The bitrate doesn't tell all the story when YT Music uses AAC that some people says that is better than Vorbis codec.
RUclips is amazing for searching songs in another language.
Can’t live without it. Sadly haven’t use other apps cause youtube is already so dame good already.
I dominantly use Spotify because of the recommendation algorithm and seamless playing. However I also love RUclips music because it bundles up with RUclips premium and Google play music but the YTmusic app still needs a lot of work in terms of integrating the interface.
Also I subscribe to Apple music because its way better to navigate through artists and albums and offline playing is better. Plus I live in China and Apple music is $1.5 a month so why not🤷🏾♂️
Good point, I think YT music will surpass in a few years. What do you think?
@@CharlesCleyn definitely. I see it surpassing the competition. But with google it might take some time considering that they have way bigger projects and that they always kill off projects midway
@@shimeih2287 Great point, ya such a big ship to steer and it takes a long time for them to release bigger projects.
YT Music definitely needs a search function for the library very helpful if you a vast collection of artists, albums & playlists ect.
RUclips music has user uploaded songs so it’s easier to find stuff, Spotify also generally (I can’t seem to find) doesn’t have extended mixes.
What do you mean by extended mixes?
@@CharlesCleyn Its more applicable to dance music, but instead of having a minute (or 30 seconds) of intro and outro each, and about a minute drop Spotify will have just the radio edit which has no intro/outro and a shorter drop segment. Songs could go from 6+ minutes down to 4.
for example: compare these 2 songs, the radio edit vs the extended mix.

@@phiphedude7684 ah very cool! thanks for replying
For those wondering about cross platform control and compatibility with smart speakers:
Spotify Connect allows you to listen on one device and control your media through your Alexa app, desktop, and/or mobile Spotify client(s). You can also 'Cast' to a Google smart speaker from any Spotify client, allowing you to control the media through Google Home & the client itself.
In comparison, YT Music only supports 'Cast,' which makes sense considering both are Google products. You cannot configure YT Music directly for use with Alexa-powered devices, which also makes sense considering they are two tech giants in competition, with each offering their own streaming service. The workaround for this is using your Alexa-powered device as a Bluetooth speaker for use with YT Music (or any other media on the playback device that is to be paired). There are guides online that detail how to set that up. Although this is a viable alternative, it has its caveats and is something I (personally) would not want to do.
For me, the decision to stay with Spotify is based on the devices I own. Spotify is compatible with Google Home & Alexa devices, with cross-platform control and an intuitive interface. As much as I want to give YT Music a chance, I am not willing to pay for another service due to streaming restrictions on devices that are not compatible with Google Cast.
I hope this helped, and thank you Charles for this excellent comparison.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and giving more context!
I have both, but I'm trying to eliminate duplications or broad overlaps in paid subscriptions for financial reasons. Thank you for an excellent evaluation! Definitely facilitates my decision-making process!
The MOST important thing in a comparison between Music streaming services is their Audio Quality. Yet that wasn't even mentioned. Would have been a much better comparison had that point been included.
in your opinion which one has the better audio quality ?
The quality is the same, depend to the artists
There are a lot of songs that are NOT available in Spotify but available in RUclips music.
Really, do you know which ones?
@@CharlesCleyn Alex Sparrow - SHE'S CRAZY BUT SHE'S MINE
and his entire channel
@@prateeksinghal630 interesting, thanks for sharing
I still like RUclips music more you can watch old live performances
That’s a great thing about RUclips music
Yeah..
That's the one and only app streaming music that have old live performances like Amy Belle & rod Stewart
I also like how more categories show up more than pandora music with the albums.
@@w.s.enthusiasthdtube3796kljty9⁹899 was pilots ytk99
i'm pretty new to trying youtube premium, but already love the no ads for ALL of youtube . But one thing I haven't figured out yet is if YT Music has the nice exercise options like spotify does. I like being able to control the candence to match running speed a LOT a
good points!
I watch much more YT than Hulu, so I'm thinking of ending my 5 year relationship with Spotify😥
I find I watch much more youtube too
@@CharlesCleyn just get adblocker on youtube if you watch videos on a browser, and listen to spotify premium on your phone, seems like it's more convenient and it's investing a lot on quality music creators/podcasters. They offered Joe Rogan a 100 million dollar deal, which ultimately made me join the spotify side.
Huge oversight not mentioning that RUclips Premium is included in the RUclips music subscription. For those that watch a lot of RUclips, that is a game changer and something Spotify just can't compete with.
did I not mention that? I'm sure i must have or at least I mentioned it on my entire review of youtube music here: ruclips.net/video/eiEE-s_3g-g/видео.html
You get more with RUclips's premium service. You can browse through your phone while RUclips is playing the background. You can also lock your phone and listen to a video or music from RUclips. Yes, they have the same monthly price tag, but you get more with RUclips.
Do you mean like you can get more independent music? That's true and one of the features I like about youtube music
Others: But RUclips music have ads too!
Me: laugh in RUclips music vanced
Like Paige below, I've been with Spotify for years, but am about to move because youtube premium (£12pm ) *includes* youtube music which definitely makes it a much better deal overall.
RUclips music is my choice simply for it removing all ads from youtube
On RUclips music, the Google assistant won't play from your transfered library. Regardless of your phrasing, it will always stream a random playlist. Basically, you can't even use voice commands to circumvent the shifty U.I. when you want to play the music that you paid for.
Awesome work dude just keep it up you're doing really good and yeah thank you for this comparison.
Thanks very much Adil!
I started with youtube music, and only recently changed over to Spotify, I still use youtube music for all of my favourite songs that are absent on Spotify. But my main platform is Spotify cause of all of its features
Is it the independent music that you like on YT music that is missing from Spotify?
what feautures are on spotify but not YT Music? I was thining of switching hte opposite way
been using Spotify since 2014 and I don't want to let them go because of RUclips Premium! I haven't tried that RUclips Premium, and they always gave pop-ups to subscribe to them and they offered one-month free trial. Maybe in the future I might change my mind and maybe switch to RUclips Premium. Maybe. haha but thanks for the honest feedback/comparison!
You're welcome!
I love how much you interact with your subscribers. Keep it
up
Only update YTMusic needs is a better interface with not hiding the repeat or shuffle button. It’s really annoying having to turn that on every time I use the app. Overall I love YTMusic 🤘🏽
Where is it hiding? I'm curious
Charles Cleyn under thee up next suggestion lol 🤔
RUclips Music has had the radio feature since the beginning but comes up through searching a specific Artist or genre that I've seen and used. Maybe that's still a drawback in a UI difference from Spotify where you have a library of Radio Stations to choose from upfront vs being singled out based in what/who you searched for on YT Music.
thank you for letting us know!
youtube music also just feels cleaner and i like the ui so much better than spotify
Also just remember that for ty music even if you don't have premium u will still be able to play any song you want
Thanks so much Charles for sharing. I was using Google Play, which was pretty good for me, but going to RUclips --well, I had my doubts. You video has helped me decide for now which direction to go. I'm a big podcast listener, recently discovering them, and so that clearly leads me in the Spodify direction, which for now, I will take. Stay safe!
I agree - for now Spotify is the best. Crossfade is the number one feature i love, it puzzles me as to why apple and youtube don't have crossfade
I know, I'm also very surprised. Maybe it's a technical issue on their end
Spotify sounds so much better. I'm really frustrated with poor quality from YT making me lose my love for music. I really wish YT up their bitrate
funny I find YT music to sound much clearer and louder for some reason. I can’t figure out why.
@@zackfeinberg5113 Same here. The bitrate is lower but how come it sounds so much better. It makes my standard sound system in my car sound like it's BOSE or somethin! Even Tidal could not do this. What gives?
Thoughtfully done. Thank you.
It all makes sense where youre coming from but I tend to choose youtube music over spotify mainly because as a mobile user spotify will always shuffle your music if you don't have premium and as you may tell, I don't pay for premium yet.
youtube has much more og songs because when i search voracity on spotify it pops some remixes not the og however when i search the same thing on yt music i instantly found the og song
Ya could definitely be. Especially with all the live stuff.
Get youtube premium and you get youtube premium and music that’s better than just Spotify
to get youtube originals and stuff?
Charles Cleyn well no at the end of the day you’re getting 2 services instead of just one. RUclips Premium has downloads for your favorite music and videos and no ads for music and videos which helps when your watching long movies and there’s a ad every 15-20 minutes
Charles Cleyn yes. If you get yt premium it includes originals and music with no ads on the youtube platform. It’s a better deal if you watch a lot of videos on mobile. I think the best is to go for a family plan as it has a better value and you can share with friends
YT music has a radio feature where you can tell the system to make a personalized radio based on the music track of your choosing.
@@nedoxff1 Charles Cleyn said that there is no radio on YT music, so that is why I pointed it out.
Agree with Discovery Weekly of Spotify. Their recommendations sre spot on!
spot on!
spot on!
I like RUclips music because it has not only normal mainstream music but also millions of individual creators and ton of music themes and Anime openings, endings,OSTs etc... And SoundCloud is good as well, so I'm going with YT music and sound cloud and ad version of spotify just in case 😅.
thanks for these thoughts!
Changed to yt music, mainly bc I get yt premium with it too. And that is a deal breaker for me, bc I hate ads and now double ads on yt. especially on phones where u cant have adblocker. And at the same time supp the youtuber I watch. Also premium viewers give more money to the youtuber than the ones who watch the ads. So its all around better deal, and the features will come eventually since yt music is quite new.
And I am getting an add of Amazon music...wtf
Spotify is missing songs frome some smaller countries less famous artists.
For example i like Bulgarian rock from the 90s and that is missing on Spotify. Also some older artists that don't perform anymore. That is why i prefer RUclips music.
And in the category "discover new music" i think it is a tie.
So i prefer RUclips music just for the extra songs.
The extra features on Spotify aren't that appealing to me, i don't use them that much.
But i guess is something that is a subjective preference at the end
Thank you for the well thought out comparison, the details between the two companies. I currently have the no advertisements on RUclips which comes with RUclips music. Don't want to pay additional money for spotify.
I still use RUclips Music, but one thing that is still irritating me is the shuffle button is broken AF for years and they don't even bother to fix it despite many people are already complained!
There's nothing wrong with it or at least mine works
@@HoweyJR_then shuffle is broken for many of us. It keeps replaying the same 40-50 songs and ignore the rest of the songs.
@@KokoKrunchs ohhhhh nevermind... I haven't noticed that but I also don't shuffle that long so I'll check it when I go to LA & drive to San Fran
I do most of my listening on YT music but interestingly RUclips is better for live performances and old footage from TV programs etc.
Ref. YT music discovery; I am as likely to listen to Bikini Kill as the Seekers and discovery will react but if I play Carlos Gardel I don't get offered more Tango.
The only true issue with RUclips music is the Quality of audio files can vary. For example I setup a mixtape full of sabbath, ccr, etc and some of those songs were uploaded like 10 years ago. So the mixing and stereo wasn’t that great. Lots of compression because they’re technically videos instead of audio files like spotify.
do you know if it’s worse on mobile to?
@@CharlesCleyn That’s all I’ve used RUclips music on. It’s truly a mixed bag. Any older songs you lookup or songs added by random youtubers years ago can sometimes sound like crap. Especially with bass. I’ll be in my car and lookup something like “Bitch” by Tech N9ne and the bass is nonexistent but I play the version on Vimeo or whatever and it’s just fine.
They must add yt music to PlayStation, Xbox and to every platform for full experience. If this happens I reckon a lot of people on Spotify will switch to Yt music because it’s more better.
As of MAY 2020, many SPOTIFY subscribers are no longer able to see the APPEARS ON Section on their mobile OR desktop apps.
The SPOTIFY web browser ONLY has 50 titles visible.
There are plenty of complaints on the Spotify website forums AND on twitter. They are avoiding the issue, pretty much.
They don't want to pay for music streams as much as before. They are hurting the artists. Actually, they are BETRAYING the artists
it is very low payouts thats true
one issue i found with youtube music is that it takes most/all the music from youtuber by filtering out ‘non-music’ and sometimes the music from youtube isn’t moved to youtube music (it’s obvious when an artist who uploads mainly songs only, but only has half the songs on youtube music, however, this was a while ago and it might of changed)
thanks Thomas, didn't know that
I played the same song on both...to compare sound.... yt music was way louder....louder=better
What l don't like about YT music, I listen to a lot of mellow songs. I'm not sure how I can find more mainstream, sociable songs easily
I strongly like and use Google products but I must admit that even after a couple of serious tries I always go back to Spotify. It is difficult to explain but I don't feel comfortable with YTM interface. When I search for a song I find it difficult to differentiate between a video, a song or whatever. Specially on the road it is not easy to quickly pick up what you want. In addition, the catalog for oldies, classics and non-trendy stuff seems inferior than Spotify. I have encountered many cases in which a song is in Spotify but not in YTM.
thanks for sharing your experience
LOL, good vid mate. I'm subbed to YT Premium and I didn't know they had a YT Music. D'uh :-)
SO I cancelled my Spotify premium account to try YT music for a look see.
I'm paying for it already so might as well huh.
Ya exactly, give it a try. Maybe you'll be pleasantly suprised!
Hey gav hasting, so I'm thinking about trying yt premium and are still having doubts. Can you tell me your experience to purchasinh Yt Premium w/RUclipsMP
Thanks, my premium ends in next week, so happy to to try the youtube music
It is interesting to see that the algorithm for Spotify has worked so well for everyone else. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that Spotify does a terrible job of recommending new music to me.
interesting, good to hear feedback from the other angle, are you using the 'like', 'disklike', and 'follow' actions regularly?
@@CharlesCleyn Yeah, I use Spotify frequently, and my recommendations are usually songs/albums I have recently listened to or music from artists I haven't listened to in months. They do have new recommendations sprinkled here or there, but it is typically not anything I end up liking. I've started the free trial of RUclips Music Premium based on your feedback from this video as well as your other recent video of the service, so I am excited to see how my experience will be.
I like YT because it has knows my music interests. YT also recommends music according to my library and playlist.
YT music categorize my music and and organize it in group mixes. I've used Spotify in the past. My choice is RUclips.
Hey great review bro. Thanks and God bless you 😌🙏
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Another great feature on Spotify is the local files feature. You can upload songs or mp3 files from your computer and sync them to all of you devices :)
doesn't work for me. 2 of 30 local files are playable, and half of it have their mp3-tags in Chinese for some reason. Absolute garbage. So sad Spotify doesn't have all the remixes RUclips has...
*doensn't work with Windows. However i followed the same (official) steps on my MacBook Pro and it works!!
The information that I wanted! 👍🏻 But you didn't mention about the sound quality in premium feature of both platforms, The comparison I dearly seek. As Spotify and RUclips music claims they have enhanced music quality like good bass and 3D surround. What do you think about that?
Funny you mention that because I was looking at it today too. I think youtube is doing a better job at trying to get good audio quality from their music videos but I've only seen them do this on mobile not desktop yet. I noticed on mobile you can change the quality, therefore listening to the actual audio and not the video file. Have you noticed anything?
@@CharlesCleyn Oh crud, Too late! I just purchased a 3 months subscription of Spotify premium 18 mins ago. 🙁 Well! Sound quality is the real game for me. I did try RUclips (non-premium), It just gives you the audio quality what you hear in the video, Many distortions sometimes. I didn't have a good experience with YT music to be frank in terms of "Audio quality". In my opinion if you understand music, You'll surely know the difference between "320 kbps MP3" and "AAC". According to some people they don't have any difference in sound quality. I was just looking for a detailed analysis of the sound quality in both the respective platforms.
@@TheArchmage100 i can see you know what you're talking, you should make a video and go detailed on the sound quality between the two platforms!
@@CharlesCleyn That is so sweet of you to encourage me. But the thing is I really am a wuss, I can't make a video. 😅 Never done it before. But you can! Just suggesting.
@@TheArchmage100 If you are watching a YT video of course the qualiy won't be so good, you need to listen to the "official" YT Music audio.
the main problem I have with you tube music is only getting the live version of certain songs case in point the eagles. I have always preferred studio versions if I want to hear live music I'll go to a concert. really listening to live music annoys me with al the stupid clapping. Admittedly most you tube music searches give you the studio version not the live one so I'll stay with it for the moment. Also I wish independent artists well but I have no interest whatsoever in them
my final point I succeeded in copying my play music library to you tube music but if I shazam a tune I can upload it to playmusic but cant add it to my you tube music library either directly from shazam or from play music library. Hopefully when play music ceases forever that uploading from shazam to you tube music will be possible like one can from spotify apple music etc
And now yt music has song/artist radios, and daily mixes 1,2,3.... chill mixes 1,2,... focus mixes 1,2,.... new release mix, workout mixes 1,2.... etc
Listened all the way but....music quality did not come into the picture.
Anyone able to let me know if both qualities are the exact same? Thanks!
I only have RUclips Music Premium and not Spotify Premium but both stream at 320kb when you pay so I'd imagine both sound roughly the same.
That said, if your watching the video version of the song on RUclips Music, you're getting the RUclips quality which isn't that great. Just listening to the song however it sounds pretty good.
That said I know other streaming services like Tidal offer way better quality if you're willing to pay $20 a month instead of $10.
I switched to Google team about 3 years (GPM first) ago due to some issues with spotify app. The only thing that really really missed was spotify connect kind of feature. being able to control music from any device is awesome.
Other than that I think they are both great services, though YTM is a bit more repetitive when discovering or completely misses the target, there is no middle ground yet. I'm sure they will get there. We are talking about one the best companies in the world doing AI algorithms and finding out what you want.
You can upload your own music to youtube music (very recent feature to deprecate GPM) which is something I think spotify will never have.
Thanks Pedro
I have Spotify and many songs I like aren't available in either platform as actual music albums, but are available as official album playlists on RUclips. Since YT Music can make use of its videos, I can now have can have access to those songs. All the Lakeside, Shalamar, Midnight Star albums are on RUclips, so that's the main reason I'm switching to YT Music.
Good reasons too! Do you miss any features on Spotify that aren't on YT music yet?
@@CharlesCleyn Well, I haven't switched just yet, but, as you say, the overall design of Spotify is more polished and thought out.
I have a question: can you use YT Music in your car via bluetooth (without Android Auto or Apple CarPlay)?
YT music does have a radio feature? You can Access it by choosing an artist and clicking radio-button. Then it tries to find similar music and plays it forever. I use radio feature to discover new music.
Cool, thanks for letting us know.
Please is RUclips music copyright free for content on RUclips?? I need help ASAP
I love RUclips Music...
there are video songs, audio songs, cover songs, instrumental versions uploaded by common people...
so much more to explore
plus RUclips Premium that's ad free throughout youtube,
Plays videos or audios in the background
and that's all for 129 INR (1.8 USD), a months
Really I feel those are paying for any other music streaming service is really ignorant fool, when there's RUclips Premium
Thanks for your thoughts!
Which one can you actually download as a MP3, for offline use. Like on a usb stick.
2 major things you forgot to mention.First sound quality and second is how you stream it to your sound system. There are a number of streaming devices out there and some very good ones that support Spotify and the Spotify app on your phone can control the app on your desk top. With RUclips music you are stuck with the app on your phone and the app on your desk top. But the phone can not control your desktop app.I can not find a single streaming device that supports RUclips music. Maybe somebody who reads this could help me.
I wanna ask if youtube music also count views on the offial song for streaming?
i haven't seen any stream count, other thank looking at the views on the official music videos
There's a native podcast app for Google called Google Podcast, maybe they'll integrate over time. Also there's now a very interesting feature which is music uploads, The YTM desktop or PWA app allows you to upload you bought music on other platform like Bandcamp e.g. to a dedicated server for you with total access.
thanks for letting us know
Thank you sir. I can no longer endure the headache of Amazon Music Prime. Trying to decide btwix the 2.
I prefer YT Music. Google just needs to get onboard with the others streaming services offering much higher quality bitrate.
I think one day they will
Same price? :O I live in CR and Spotify costs less than YT music. Or can you get some discount?
houw can i fix spotify on my smarth tv like i do wethe youtoube
I used RUclips Music for a long time, but now, I decided turn to Spotify, only because of the podcast system.
spotify definitely is putting more focus into podcasts.
Emad Ahmed nothing trash with Spotify podcasts it’s better for everything to be in one app it’s ad free and has more features in a podcast app
As an audiophile which is better? I have high quality speakers and have heard YTM compresses audio
its better sound quality with spotify premium than spotify free
so premium users, I think, listen to source quality audio
