Nintendo lawyers prepping to sue YouTube music
OK, it's possible it's a template Google made available for android developers. I find the YT music app easy* to navigate so quite like it.
Easier to navigate than what? If you say Google play music I'll drive to your nuts and kick you in the house. Ytm is hot dog water and gets worse every update
Hot take, all apps look the same now.
It’s laid out just like Spotify and Apple Music, so pretty much.
This is so true. There have been many occasions where I thought someone was using TikTok, but it was just another app that looked exactly the same (Instagram, LinkedIn, some guitar learning app etc)
Of all the music apps, why? I HATE Youtube Music. I only use it because I get it free with Youtube Premium, but its a shit app. Google Music and Google Podcasts died for this?
First off, I can't separate my podcasts from my music like I used to when we had two discrete apps, so whenever I want to listen to one, it erases the queue for the other. Why not have the ability to have seperate playlists for each?
Then there was the whole "merging your liked Youtube videos with your liked songs", so you'd get the audio from a 7 minute video playing at random intervals while you're just trying to listen to music. To their credit, they did fix that after several months of user complaints.
It also crashes fairly regularly when I'm broadcasting to my Google home speaker, which is actually kind of funny when you think about it.
All in all, 2/10 app, would not recommend.
I am by no means a YTM Stan and I agree it’s not a great app, but at the same time I struggle to think of one that’s objectively better, besides the now defunct Google Play Music. And that was only really better because it was easier to navigate.
Yes, honestly the fact that 'youtube music' is literally just a different frontend for YouTube drives me nuts, it goes both ways, the YouTube app for TV doesn't have proper features either, it's unclear if you are getting the music or video version and the most egregious of them all imo, on the TV app, you can't freaking browse for a different song while music is playing, you have to stop the song to go to the search bar.
Also the recommendation algorithm is awful compared to Google Play Music
What a terrible app to clone...
No clearly Youtube have copied Nintendo and should expect a summons in due course
I hope the big G will pull the big N into court.
Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I'd be like yeah checks out.
Nintendo has been taking down music for some years now, and now it wants to release a music service. They should had done this a long time ago.
The last thing i'm worried about being spoiled about is a video games soundtrack.
Looks more like Spotify to me, which came before YouTube music app, I think
