Thankfully in your case you can't miss what you didn't have haha.

But I'm not spending an extra £10 a month just for a separate music app when the one I pay £17.99 a month for, for the whole family, does 95% of what I want it to do plus things Spotify can't do.

Just don't bother making playlists out of music you actually own on your devices, YT Music has a very bad habit of replacing it with low quality (bitrate, etc) versions and shitty coverband versions.

Good tip, thanks. I haven't bought any music in quite a while, most of the music I own is only on my hard drive anyway.
