Spotify is actually the only one of the big 3 (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music) that doesn't have a cloud music locker feature, and it's basically the entire reason I can't use it.
However, both YouTube Music and Apple Music treat your uploaded stuff as second-class citizens to the stuff streamed from their music collection. Which is one of the biggest reasons I miss GPM, since it was much better for that.
YouTube Music has a pretty intuitive music uploading system, though it comes with all the previously mentioned baggage of YTM. With Apple Music you have to upload through Apple Music on a Mac or iTunes on a PC, and it's a real clunky system that usually takes me a bunch of finagling and forcing syncs over and over again until it finally works. So pick your poison
- kall 5y agoIn what way are they second class? I actually feel the opposite way, because I can use only uploaded/matched tracks in apps like Djay, Capo or GarageBand.
- elsonrodriguez 5y agoMy only lament is lack of family sharing, other than that it's been seamless for me.
- kall 5y agoOh that's unfortunate. I remember when you used to be able to share your whole iTunes library with people over the network, possibly even over the internet?
- hbn 5y agoFirst things that come to mind is they don't come up in the default search (you have to manually toggle to a separate search of your library), and also they don't show up in the web player at all.
