To this day, no music streaming app has been as good as Google Play Music. I miss the professional human curated playlists too.

I believe Apple Music still has those. But overall feature-wise, I agree, GPM was the best. YTM was borderline unusable for everything that I wanted from streaming at the time they transitioned from one to the other, and it seems it didn't get much better since.
What do you mean you don't want Shorts inserted in your music player?
I find the Samples (what I’m assuming you’re referring to by saying “shorts”) feature actually kinda useful for discovering new music. I flip through it every few months to hear snippets of recent hits or what YouTube might think I’d be interested in without committing to listening to an entire song.
Rhapsody back in the day beat that. You could use All Music Guide info to build amazing custom playlists. Custom options like "Music featuring electric guitar with no vocals made between 1950-1957 with a tempo between 90-120" and it would shoot out a whole playlist
Sounds cool. I used to read allmusic a lot.
I miss the app they bought out and created Google play with. I can't remember the name, but it was amazing
Same. I have been trying to remember the name for years. All I can remember is that some magazine called it "a warehouse in Brooklyn full of music obsessed hipsters". Best curated music lists ever. I discovered so much new music with it.
I think it may have been songza. That's a word bubbling to my brain.
Still in agreement though. Google music was top tier. They're the only streaming app that organized my library in a sane way. I just want the organization from the ipod touch, but Spotify wants their weird homogenous shit.
Yeah songs it was the one that they bought out and it was touted as being run by hipsters
Google play music was nothing compared to the old Yahoo music streaming service back in the early 00s.
Finally implementing something pirates have taken for granted since the first digital cross-platform audio file format (1983?)
Rare corporate W
This would be a time saver if Spotify was a part of the initiative because currently I'm migrating from Spotify over to YouTube Music.
Spotify has to support the DTI for it to work. Considering, Spotify's business model. I doubt they would support.
Don’t do it bro… YT has gotten increasingly shittier and although YTM stayed the same for a long time, you can now feel the enshittification coming to YTM too
What a unique and useful feature. That makes it totally worth it.
To bad Google will kill it off in a month
