Ack, YouTube Music did this thing where it was playing random YouTube videos from people who uploaded the song, rather than an "official" release, and I fled wildly. I want nothing to do with YouTube when I load in YouTube Music; I want as close to the "official" source as I can get, and anything else bothers me. Spotify at least delivers that for me.
Did they stop doing that? I might ponder moving back to YouTube Music if so...
- tossaway0 4y agoI've never had that happen. I only use the mobile app, though. I've read complaints of people getting YouTube recommendations in their YTM. When I first got it, I created a second account/channel in YouTube (same login, just click on your profile pic and add an account) and I used that for YTM so they don't cross contaminate. They really should tell you this. I turned off video in the YTM app settings, because I'm listening not watching. But it still will let you listen to a video with no visuals. This is the best part of YTM; if you listen to a lot of unpublished stuff it won't be on Spotify, but there's almost always a YouTube version. It treats it like any other track, and you can add it to playlists, etc. I've never had it show a YouTube video as the first hit if there is a published version of the song. The videos are near the bottom of the results in a separate section unless it's the only result.
