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!𧾠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.𧾠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...𧾠4/7

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

Callie, I believed in you. I really thought you were gonna be the one. But, a sweat lodge and wind chimes has told me this cannot end well.

@swelljoe
History channel website has additional video like the prep and camera training they get before being dropped. But you canât really go to the website unless youâve finished the season and directly go to a specific season (use search engine) because spoilers. They assume you already watched it and kept up.

@LaVi @Uilebheist @ju @oblomov anche noi al liceo italiano (con una persona opinabile) e greco + latino (con, gli ultimi due anni, una professoressa veramente brava ad insegnare ed appassionata della sua materia (e totalmente incapace di gestire una classe riguardo alla valutazione, ma quello è meno importante)

@Steve12L bonjour !

Where do you reckon you're going to go on that raft, Greg? What do you think is different about the other side?
