Ok...been on the YTM website at work all day. I don't mind the user interface.

I think they could just do a little better with the app

just got the email (unrequested) about transferring music over , for whatever reason its showing me as having 2 youtube accounts (both with my email) one is my main account the one ive always had and this other is one that been associated with my gmail which again same email outside of my avatar pic being different it should be one account no idea why its counting two. either way its trying to transfer my music to the second account which i dont want it to. Either way not touching this til they force me, my google music collection is huge 523 albums almost 8,000 songs.

Been using it, it's ok still getting used to the interface, don't see what was wrong with GPM. One thing I don't like is when I shuffle my play list in my car and I turn off the my car and come back to my car they music will resume but pay in order now instead of being shuffled.

Still feel likes a downgrade from GPM. No podcasts and there's no Artist, Album, Song Info when Bluetoothing with my BMW iDrive. :snoop:

Made the switch about a week and a half ago. So far, it's meh. My library appears to have come over with no issues.

The curated playlists are nice to have back. They used to have them in GPM a good six or seven year ago or more, but dropped them.

Biggest change is design. I love GPM, but it looks like something that hasn't seen a visual refresh in quite some time.

Biggest complaint is still that I can't cast directly to my Sonos speakers from YTM. I can cast to any of my Google speakers, or Chromecast, but not my Sonos speakers. I get why (they're suing each other), but it's still a minor annoyance having to go through the Sonos application instead.

I still have curated playlist in GPM. I'm not switching over until they give me no other choice. :sadcam:

I just did the transfer. This is awful.

I can't find my music. For example, the TGT album. I have 2 bonus tracks that weren't released on the official version. But all I see is the official version for me to play. NOT MY VERSION with my 2 extra tracks.

Can't find my Shawty LO "They Know (remix)"

On top of this, I let my parents use my account for their Google Home to play their music. And so all the songs they play are now mixed into my "history"

I dont have either of these issues on GPM.

I'm not changing over til I'm forced to. And then I might have to cancel after several years.
Like the interface, but this is a clusterfk

Someone start a petition for Google to stop the YouTube Music and go back to Google Play Music. Just rename/rebrand GPM as YouTube Music.
