A while ago I've shared my yearly online service expenses. @ignas asked why I'm using Spotify but not YT Music while having Youtube Premium account. Decided to run an experiment and live with YT Music for a month. The month haven't passed yet but I'm returning back to Spotify, at least for 1 more year.
I've compared both services and collect notes. Bare in mind, I'm long time Spotify user so observations are impacted by that.
Let's start!

Pros:
- YT Music is included in Youtube Premium subscription.
- There is some music which is unavailable on Spotify (and vice versa). I was able to find most artists i wanted. Very few were missing on one or another side. However, YT has some long mixes that are unavailable on Spotify.
- Different types of autoplay is a nice feature. When playing a mix, it is possible to pick how next songs will be selected. e.g. "familiar", "popular", some styles. Good way to explore!🧵 2/7

Cons? Many of them. Let's start with Podcasts.
- There are no notifications of new episodes! At least I had Spotify installed still and was relying on it's notifications.
- 2/7 of my podcasts were unavailable. These missing podcasts were published on Youtube channel as videos, but not on YT Music. This is probably producer problem, but as end user - I can't listen to them. Tried to contact podcast producers to fix this, but had no luck yet. Maybe adding via RSS would work.🧵 3/7

Let's talk about sync between devices.
- There is no sync.
- It is not possible start playing on mobile, and then stop or switch the next song on PC/car. I'm using this feature in many cases. To control what is playing in living room, to continue listening on laptop what I was listening on phone during commute, etc.
- Even worse, it does not sync which podcast episodes I completed. There was a week when Android auto automatically started the same episode each time I started the engine...🧵 4/7

@pawka if you love musicians, buy their albums on bandcamp and put them on your media server.

@stefano Thanks for asking. Access to the internet is difficult these days. Can't tell I'm good, but I'm managing!

@aeva @lritter I suppose that's good for air quality but in terms of genre conventions it's a bummer

@lritter https://www.homestuck.com/problemsleuth/000219 it shows up early on

@aeva @lritter on a scale from 1 to 10, how often would you say chain-smoking femme fatales show up in your office?
