Discussion Maybe if the album cover wasn't stretched across the entire screen...

If they wanted to stretch the album cover, in my opinion the third option would look much better than filling the entire screen; some covers look extremely strange.

Question Inconsistency resuming long audio/podcasts

• Upvotes

I'm giving YouTube Music a try, I don't listen to a ton of music (I go through phases) but the ad-free YouTube is a great advantage over other music services, and it's hard to beat YouTube for more obscure stuff.

I've been listening to more podcasts or similar kinds of longer running tracks on the YouTube Music app on my iPhone... for instance, I've been chipping away at a few 11 hour compilations of a radio show I like maybe 30-60 minutes at a time. The frustrating thing is that I can't seem to find a way to get it to consistently resume where I left off.

There are times where I know I'm about 50 minutes into it on the YouTube Music app... but next time, I click it in my speed dial area, or track it down manually in my history/library, click on it, and it starts at like 3 minutes in for some reason. If I don't have it memorized where I actually left off, it gets pretty frustrating because I tend to listen to this stuff while I fall asleep, and I'm usually too impatient to fight with it figuring out where it should actually be, or I'm too tired by the time I pause it for the night to look at the timestamp.

There also seems to be consistency issues across like, YouTube Music the app, and YouTube music the website on my PC... but this seems intentional. I kinda miss the way say Spotify synced across devices a bit more fluidly.

Are there any tricks to improve this? Even if I just need to make sure I'm starting/closing/stopping tracks the correct way, that's fine. I would just like it to be a bit more consistent with remembering where I left off in longer running tracks.

Discussion YouTube Music non premium, what's the point?

28 Upvotes

I recently cancelled my YouTube music subscription. Figured I can listen to music with ads similar to Pandora. But I can't listen to music when I open another app or close my phone. So I might as well just listen to music on YouTube like it's 2010? It's basically just a podcast app without premium access. I'll say this though, they let you add your own music on desktop and listen without ads.

Question Music videos, famous albums, singles and bunch of other more stuff started disappearing since the last update.

2 Upvotes

i use Samsung Galaxy A56, and i don't think im the only one having this issue because there's another person on the subreddit who is trying to fix this, they came up with a solution, it was to delete the app and re-install it and see if it fixed the issue. I tried doing it, everything turned back to normal at first, but when i closed the app and loaded it back, the app updated itself and the issue continued, i can't even listen to Eminem's song "Without Me" because of this stupid issue. Because the whole freaking album is gone with a bunch of other music videos, someone, PLEASE HELP.

Many people don't like the way the album cover can be expanded, but it does look good and somewhat different.

TLDR: 2024 -> now: song in playlist good, now: playlist song unavailable, can play outside.

I have a song that was active in my playlist (playable) from the beninning until now recently when its format was fucked up by stupid youtube. Now it is unavailable in my playlist (red rectangle 2nd pic) but still playable outside when searched (1st pic)

Any fix? Thanks alot.

Suggestion Pleading for a way to block artists so i can block all AI "artists" i come across

50 Upvotes

I keep getting spammed with AI "Artists" like this guy for example. There is no way to block an artists completely so my only recourse is to dislike every song that gets put in front of me. The only issue is that these guys create more songs faster than I can listen to them.

Please put a stop to this.

Question Share YouTube Premium

I want to get YouTube Premium Family with my coworker. If we set up the account at our workplace, could it be like we share a household? Has anyone experience with something like that?

Question Does google check ip addresses for YT family plan?

1 Upvotes

My friends and I are planning on buying the YT family plan even though we don’t reside in the same house. However, we plan on putting the same residential address on our accounts before buying it.

Will our accounts still get flagged by google for having different ip addresses? I heard that it automatically checks addresses (not sure if ip or home address) if they are the same.

Question A ton of songs suddenly disappeared even though restricted mode isn’t on and the account isn’t family restricted on yt

3 Upvotes

So in the past like 2 days a ton of songs suddenly disappeared off of my yt music app. Like one album that has like 12-13 songs only shows tracks 8 and 12. I tried searching them individually and they don’t show up there either. Some singles if I click on its ā€œalbumā€ page the tracklist is completely blank. Not even grayed out or smth it’s just blank. What is going on and has anyone else suddenly had this issue?

Question Is anyone else getting completely incorrect lyrics?

2 Upvotes

For context, I did not listen to the black eyed peas before listening to Cocteau Twins, so the "first song you listened to's lyrics staying for every song" glitch does not apply here. The last song I listened to was Gone by The Sundays (second photo) and the lyrics on that song are wrong as well! Does anybody have any guesses or answers?

Question EQ: Do you use it?

Just curious how many YT Music users employ the app EQ settings or do you listen without and let your external device "color" the sound?

Discussion Another day, another set of AI slop recommendations

7 Upvotes

5 more "artists" blocked. Not sure what's going on with some of the other quick picks, some are genres I never listen to, some appear to be songs listed by record labels whose pages show 10+ albums released in the last year but under many different (real) artists.

It seems that a lot of my other recommendations are based around American patriotism and Christianity for some reason....

How long before I have blocked every AI artist that YouTube wants to push on me?

Question Incorrect artist in search results

Is there a way to report this to get this fixed? While all of Takanaka’s music is still on his page, this kid is somehow also listed as Takanaka, making it to where you cannot create a mix from Takanaka’s actual page.
Also, YouTube seems to have this Bacco kid mixed up with another older artist by the same name

this half view to see the queue makes the album art fill but with a nice vignette and does not cut off. they should really do this instead of the full screen thing.

Discussion Thank you Spotify!

166 Upvotes

Thank you Spotify, for the past 5 years. Thank you for the endless headaches caused by the million bugs that were never fixed. Thank you for the silent bus trips because offline play kept malfunctioning. Thank you for the 5+ minute loading times (Of course, that must be my fault because I have over 1,000 songs).

I just moved my playlist to YouTube Music with one click, and it’s running fast. For me, it’s over paying for something that doesn’t work.

🤢
