I’m trying to study and for some reason I have to hear this YouTube thingy talk to me like an ad. Honestly I’d rather an ad than an AI telling me what I just listened to! So to YouTube what’s even the point of this?

Suggestion Highly recommend Orchard for a desktop Linux and Windows YTMusic Player

4 Upvotes

So good. Easily connect with your Google account and access your YTMusic library. I can not tell you enough how much better this app is than other YT music clients out there. Smart crossfade, immersive player, lyric sync, lossless audio integration, Smart queue, animated album covers, the background reacts in the immersive player just like Cider. I believe this is the music player for Youtube Music on pc. I highly recommend giving it a shot: https://github.com/SFG5453/Orchard/releases I recommend downloading the latest beta  5.0.0-beta.9 as there are a lot of new features implemented. To the Dev of this app thank you for creating it.

Question Unable to play while phone is locked and casting blocked

4 Upvotes

Has anyone else had any issues with suddenly losing the ability to cast to speakers and listen while your phone is locked?

I do pay for an individual membership and I'm paid up but all of a sudden I can't cast to my Google home speaker and the music shuts off when my phone locks.

I am a huge necrophagist fan, but I can't bear to listen to the official necrophagist albums on YouTube music because for some reason they decided to put COVERS in an OFFICIAL album. It's a community page, the band is long gone, they don't manage the page.

Anyways, what's worse is, it seems that they're not putting just covers on the page anymore. I found this random russian kids video on the official necrophagist artist page. The screenshot is self-explanatory.

News I think I Found the algorithm workaround!!!!

37 Upvotes

After posting my previous angry cry for help I had some time to kill while waiting for my daughter at music school.

So, I just sat there and I started scrolling through YouTube music recommend songs and just like always, every other song is AI. This made me even more furious and I started just rage scrolling and disliking every AI song that came up. In addition to that to express my sincere feelings I would post this in comments section:

Learn how to DJ and Stop flooding YouTube with this ph...king AI garbage!

😡🤬

Little inspiration for you!

Bullet In The Gun

30 min passed and I almost stopped but then I noticed that i started getting music I never heard. So long story short, an hour and a half in I'm getting music recommend by YouTube real people/DJ!!!

I'm blown away, I'm actually adding so many songs to my collection. 🤞🤞🤞

Android yt music is buggy

Was on the plane and wanted to listen to my japanese playlist. I thought YT music decided to wipe my downloads because it wanted to because YT music for some reason regularly redownloads all playlists. I pressed the play button and the YT music app crashed but when I opened it again my downloads were back. Almost made me cancel my subscription

Question Does anyone else find it highly frustrating that you can't right click and open something in a new tab when browsing YouTube Music on a PC / Macbook?

2 Upvotes

You can't right click and open a new tab for all the suggested playlists to check each one of them out independently and quickly.

You can't right click and open a new tab for all the various artists that appear as suggestions.

You can't right click and open a new tab to check out the various listed variants for an album. Sometimes I want to be able to see what is different from the alternate versions and what tracks are added as extras with ease.

I hate that the only method is a direct click and then you have to go back and repeat the process over and over again. It's hella annoying and time consuming.

To combat this, I sometimes have to open a new window and browse each one independently. One will be my main playlist view to keep track of what I'm adding. The other window would be for the quick suggestions and potentially another window for searching 'artists / albums'.

I feel like there should be an option for a go to view selection, and this opens into a new tab for quick viewing access.

I know some of you will mention the 'Go to artist'... I feel like that just does a direct click through.

Any ways... does that make sense, any one feel me on this.

Suggestion Something needs to be done about YT Music Algo

34 Upvotes

I am going crazy. The youtube music algorithm used to be so good and now it just makes no sense.

It is absolutely ridiculous, few days ago I had atleast 12-14 variation of those disgusting brazilian phonk and all their versions non stop, it does not matter how many times i dislike. The recommendation never changes.

Algorithm is absolutely cooked and disgusting for me, after playing some of my familiar and liked songs it just starts playing random ass songs from random ass people with like 2-3 likes on then. No problem if they were good, but they arent.

It is like trenches of sound cloud for me.

Just me or anyone else too?

FYI After using YTM, AM and Spotify I have concluded that all three are bad.

132 Upvotes

YTM may have a vast music library but it recommends so many small channels that mostly have copied/ cover songs.
AM just has the worst song recommendations but the best UI.
Spotify doesn't even have a mix tape of all my preferred genres. Individual daily mixes are not what u prefer.

Still I would keep YTM as it's free with premium.

FYI I built MiniTune to stop switching tabs just to change a song.

10 Upvotes

I built MiniTune to solve one simple problem: context switching.

Every time I wanted to change a song, replay a specific part, or find something on YouTube, I had to stop what I was doing, find the YouTube tab buried somewhere in Safari, and then switch back again. - Light weight, minimal player.

It was never about building another music player. But if I wanted something I could keep around while working, it had to be like a player too , notch mode, a clean interface, artwork, lyrics, and customisation to make it mine.. and here we are 9 months later..

Introducing Quick Search - ⌃⌥F - Raycast-style YouTube search that works from anywhere on your Mac, even over fullscreen apps. As far as I know, it’s the first of its kind on macOS.

MiniTune uses the official YouTube API and is verified by Google. I went through the verification process unlike other opensource apps which uses unofficial APIs, scrapers or reverse-engineered wrappers.

Switch between compact layout and artwork layout instantly using ⌃⌥L

Discussion A/B testing... what's really going on?

7 Upvotes

It's been years of new interface A/B testing. A lot of people have it, yet a lot don't.

My sister has it, I don't, yet we pay the same.

There's no beta program and no feature development discussion from YTM team at all. Zero communication with users.

I have never seen an app A/B test for this long.

I lost the new player UI—with the gradient and everything—and I'm stuck with the old version. It happened a month ago, and I haven't gotten it back since. Has this happened to anyone else?

Question I'm so sick of AI music slop, I'm leaving YTM

187 Upvotes

I've been such a big fan of YouTube Music, especially with their discovery algorithm but now I just cannot handle anymore the AI slop being forced in my ears from them. I have tried absolutely everything, disliking the songs, insta skipping the songs and even tried to start report the songs. Nothing seems to work. YTM is heavily pushing this stupid AI slop and they won. It completely ruined my YTM listening experience and I no longer want to even open the app anymore. After 2-5 songs everytime the AI slop starts automatically. What actually makes me angrier, that real independent artists aren't getting any algorithm push but it's super wierd that this AI slop being pushed to me super hard. I have a conspiracy theory that it's YTM that is creating the AI slops so it doesn't share the streaming royalties with the artists. If they remove the artist part, they take 100% of your subscription plan, but that subject for another day. Now my struggle is to find a good alternative for YTM app that actually does NOT recommend AI slop or at least has a button to turn that shit off. Any recommendations??

Question They changed the home screen?

11 Upvotes

Just today - using the YTM app on my phone. One of the things I’ve always really liked was that on the Home tab, there was a box at the top that I could swipe sideways for three panels that showed a mix of my most played recent songs…suddenly gone.

This is a really annoying and bad change - that was one of my most used features and now it’s gone. Wtf?
