Ugh. Unlike some others, my 'migration' worked, but YT Music sucks. Sorry to be blunt and short, but that's how I best describe it. It's in every way worse than GPM for my use. I legally buy songs, and just want to stream them. YT Music is obsessed with, after playing an upload, playing random music with ads in it, rather than say, playing the next upload. The only thing that works without much complaints is a playlist, so that's good I guess. I can't even figure out if/how I can purchase music from it, which is really annoying.
- cbhl 6y ago> I can't even figure out if/how I can purchase music from it You can't, unfortunately.
- reificator 6y agoExactly this. Google Play Music was great because you could host your collection with them and mix it with their streaming library fairly seamlessly. Since the announcement of GPM's demise I haven't found a single other platform that fills this niche.
- jpeloquin 6y agoDeezer allows you to upload mp3 files, but only up to 2000 files, and you can only upload one at a time. If you only need to supplement the streaming library it may suffice. https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115004221605-Uploading-MP3s-to-Deezer https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115004221605-Up...
- banaana 6y agoApple Music has filled that need for me quite well
- cageface 6y agoThis is the main reason I prefer it to Spotify.
- PopeDotNinja 6y agoI don’t understand why Spotify won’t let me downvote music. At least I haven’t figured out how yet.

- ValentineC 6y agoApple Music comes with iTunes Match [1], which allows upload of up to 100k songs. It's a little wonky for edits of songs that are already available in the Apple Music library — because it would try to deduplicate instead of upload — but it's still good enough for my use.

- CivBase 6y agoI've switched to hosting my own Emby server and buying music from Amazon.
- ehsankia 6y agoGoogle is out of the music purchase business, they no longer have licensing for that. That feature is fully gone. Out of curiosity, are you a premium member or are you using YTM at free tier? I find the free tier version is much more handicapped compared to GPM, but arguably GPM was very generous comparative to the competition.
- axaxs 6y agoFree tier. I have zero interest in music 'discovery' which is essentially what people want money for. I just want to have a place to buy and stream my own music, anywhere.
- mkhpalm 6y agoI am a long time google music customer as well and having a hard time enjoying youtube music. I'm kinda converting to other things with ads to find new music then I just buy the albums and host them on plex. Works like google music did, has android auto, sonos integrations, works from a browser, all the things. Except now I can keep everything in flac, stream on the LAN in lossless, and transcode to whatever while I'm away from home. The most annoying part is I've had to start buying CDs again for obscure stuff that I can't find online in a lossless format. But they're easy enough to rip and throw in the music folder for plex.
