(You have an Indian-sounding handle, so you might identify with this problem!)
I'd uploaded all of my offline library to Google Play Music, back when it was relatively easier to do so, and before it became YouTube Music.
Unfortunately the service seemed to do some sort of acoustic fingerprinting to make uploads more efficient, and I ended up with the wrong language versions of several of my film soundtrack songs! Loads of them got randomly converted from Tamil -> Telugu, Tamil -> Hindi, Hindi -> Telugu, Hindi -> Tamil, etc.
- knaik94 4y agoI did not have that experience with Google Play Music, but I have run into a different struggle with metadata. The new Youtube Music doesn't allow editing metadata online, you have to download the file, edit the tags, and then reupload. My tags for Hindi songs were always in English. Because of the way Hindi songs are credited, searching by tags like artist was always annoying, but that's not a problem specific to google music. I did have times where Japanese track names got translated to English in the old Google Play Music, but I haven't experienced that with Youtube Music.
- senbrow 4y agoFYI this doesn't happen on YT music at all; the user uploads are completely segregated from the YT catalog for licensing reasons so your files are stored exactly the way you upload them.
