Last I tried it, you couldn't even click through different songs in an album without it jumping to the now playing screen. No way to disable that behavior in se

Absolute trash of a UI.
Spotify has plenty of warts but it is at least functional.
On top of that, account management, setup, building new playlists is just horrible. It feels like the person who wrote it doesn't listen to music.
Literally anything is better than Youtube music. Given that Google music was actually pretty good back in the day it is hilarious how badly Google has screwed it up.
- llm_nerd 2y agoI guess people have different needs out of their apps. I was a long time Spotify user. When they decided to give hundreds of millions to Joe Rogan, I switched to Apple Music. Then when I got YT Premium for the video benefits, I randomly tried YT Music and it has been my primary since. And I have zero complaints. I search for artists and albums and songs and play them. Often I start algorithmic "radio" playlists based upon one of those. It plays the music. I save things to my library. I add things to playlists. I listen to music and I think it's a great app. And again, 4.8 on the app store, so the people for whom it's a terrible app might be the exception.
- Mindwipe 2y agoNot really, all the Google apps get five star ratings from all the spam accounts to try and make them seem more legitimate. Neither major app store has done anything about ratings spam for a decade and the system is entirely useless.
- NBJack 2y agoWhat do you want to see in the playlist behavior? I admit I build them without much effort in YT Music and never felt constricted, but I may be missing out.
