PLEASE add an alphabetical feature to playlists!! I had my playlist organized perfectly and I attempted to use the "newest first" option. Terrible idea. My playlist is now completly messed up and the hours I spent organizing are put to waste. This is extremely frustrating. I love using this app for music but this is not helpful. I would sincerely appreciate it if you added the option to order playlists in alphabetical order. It would make things a lot easier for myself and other who prefer this.
Reviews for YouTube Music
So, after using the app a bit much more, it's actually quite annoying. After the free 14 premium days experience, you notice how, after every ONE SINGLE song, an ad pops up afterward. Too much ads. The UI/ layout of the whole app can be inconsistent and therefore confusing. Ex: "Add to playlist" isn't in the same place when you're in the song you're playing or just in your watch history. Also just viewing your history is not a fast, quick, easy access, as in the library when on the home page.
This is the only app I'll use simply because I can actually build a library saving specific songs/albums and not just artists. And listen to exactly what I want when I want to, unlike Pandora or Spotify. I've been using this since it was originally Google Play Music. I wish they would make it so you can jump ahead on your artists list instead of endlessly scrolling. As well as organizing your music by genre and not just artists, songs, and Playlists.
I have YouTube Premium, which I only mention to give the most accurate and relevant review. I am not certain of the differences and how they impact the experience between Premium and Non-Premium. That being said, I adore the app. It's easy to navigate and laid out nicely. It's extremely similar to the "normal" YouTube but I love that it's for music only so there's no need to sift through videos that aren't related to music. It's common for there not to be a music video with the songs
YouTube music is my 1st choice when I want to listen to music. I can easily search for any song by title and musician and a very high percentage of time it is available. Most of the time it will play similar music for hours after that selection. However, occasionally the app doesn't recognize any or much related content. The thumbs up and down ratings help the app decide what to play but it doesn't limit it to selections you've rated.
It WAS great, until almost every song in "autoplay" or shuffle starting playing the clean version of songs. I'm am a 33-year-old grown man. I do not want to hear pauses every few seconds. This is extremely annoying and I saw I'm not the only one. PLEASE fix this ASAP before I cancel my subscription. $15/mo is already too expensive for a music app, especially since I already pay for YouTube Premium and YouTube TV. Very disappointed! Update: talked to a live agent today... trash!!!
I've been using YT Music for so long, love the ad-free music, the varieties, and the unlimited playlists you can make and how communitive it can be with AI and other playlists by others. But I've caught this one bug where the suggestion songs aren't playing it's music, instead, all the suggested songs play the first song listed on the playlist. I've tried restarting my phone, closing out of the app and pulling it back up, and refreshing yet nothing has helped.
It's an amazing app to use for music and helps download music, but I couldn't find the songs I was looking for. But it does have song recognition, and you're can pick your own songs. Although it doesn't recognize some songs and I hope they fix the app soon, but other than that, I recommend it. Way better than Spotify, Pandora, and other music apps
Recently, I started paying for Premium, because the idea of having my music with my screen off was too appealing. It used to be that I could go my whole work day across several apps with only one press of the play, unless i accidentally closed the app. Now, YT will stop itself not even halfway through the first song. It is a constant battle to hear the song stop, close my current app, open YTM, restart the song, go back to work, listen to maybe 2 songs and start all over. Terrible. Pirate.
For the last month (maybe longer), I've noticed my volume levels are significantly lower than they used to be. At first I thought it was just me, but this is consistent across my phone speakers, Pixel Buds, and car Bluetooth. Today, I discovered that clicking between songs rapidly results in the same track being played at different volume levels at random. Seriously? I don't know what kind of processing Google added, but there NEEDS to be an option to disable all of it. This is ridiculous.
