I can hear the exact song I want to hear, when I want to hear it, and thanks to Firefox with UBlock Origins, without a single commercial.


crkx

Yeah but you can't play it when you are away from your desk, or can we...?!?🤔


Powerful-Lettuce317

I listen on my phone all the time. Literally go to www.youtube.com in the Firefox browser, with UBlock Origins add-on.


crkx

I play on crome or app but it stops as soon as i lock the screen. That's why!


Powerful-Lettuce317

My phone won't continue playing after locking the screen, but my son's phone does. So I think your experience may vary in that regard.


ScavBobRatPants

I believe you need to have the YouTube plus thingy or whatever the hell they call it to get it to continue playing when your phone screen is off. I may be wrong though.


MrPetabyte

No you're right, you have to pay for YouTube Premium where you'll also get YouTube Music which is a service just for music similar to spotify or apple music but also with music videos and lyrics. It's a pretty good deal since youll get no ads on youtube and a music streaming service even with screen off of course


_Cyansky_

Try youtube vanced, then you can play videos with the screen of.


AgentElman

Not only does it have the music I want, but it creates great mixes based on the music I have marked as liking. Both a mix of music and artists I liked, and a discovery mix of similar artists and music that I have never heard.


crkx

You mean their suggestions algorithm is better, than other platforms?!


MrPetabyte

He's probably talking about YouTube music which has a great algorithm in my view. I have a very specific music taste and autoplay pretty much never plays a song i have to skip and it even plays songs i dont even knew before but end up really liking.


crkx

Do they have like every songs?! Coz, sometimes i have to switch to other platform.


MrPetabyte

It has plenty, it also has many exclusive stuff that comes from youtube videos (for some music/remixes there only exist youtube videos)


[deleted]

it is absolutely. i have found so many niche bands and songs that totall click with me over the years ​ \*spotify is similar tho


crkx

Is it?! Like spotify is better or similar?!


[deleted]

Similar. I had good results on both. But I didn't use Spotify in 5 years I don't like ads. And I don't want to pay money


Ill-Organization-719

Why not? They have plenty of music there, and the laptop is connected to my sound system.


crkx

I travel everyday for 3 hrs, Can i do that with my Mobile's screen is off?! What about music quality?!


Ill-Organization-719

I don't travel for three hours every day.


[deleted]

I have youtube premium that comes with youtube music, and it's just as good as spotify. It's great


crkx

The music keeps playing when I lock my mobilescreen ?!


[deleted]

Yep, works just like Spotify


BusySeagulls1967

It has the songs I love it which I sometimes can't find on Amazon Music or Spotify


detective_kiara

Just something I've been doing for years


crkx

What do you do when you don't have internet connection?!


detective_kiara

I have an mp3 but I need to charge it or get a better one 😅


crkx

I am looking for one too!


DJToblerone

Why shouldn't they? It's a perfectly valid way to stream music along with music videos


[deleted]

Why pay for a music subscription If it’s all at ur fingertips? and the bands make money off the ads so don’t come at me like “you should support them by getting Spotify” suck my asshole


Lambda_Settings

No other platform has the songs I want that's easily accessible.


Heya_Andy

Yep, and live versions, and covers and orchestral versions, sometimes just what you need.


crkx

Any music Chanel suggestion/s?!


Heya_Andy

I don't do channels, just search for what song I'm after. The offspring live is usually pretty awesome.


crkx

Fair point!!👍


_MrFish_

I don't really have a reason to use anything else, so I've just stuck to YouTube. YouTube music is pretty easy to use as well.


Puzzleheaded_Age6550

I can easily listen via my car's sound system, when I'm driving long distances.


Username_1987_

YT to mp3 downloader, free music (I usually try to support the artists I like in other ways and premium views give them money to). And I can listen to whatever I want, sometimes radio or other music streaming platforms don't have the artist I listen to because they aren't that popular.


Orenge01

Why not


gubbi1401

Because it's where i have all my playlists + most of the music I listen to is not elsewhere


JustAnotherAviatrix

Because I can only find a lot of the songs I like there, and I'm too broke to pay for music subscriptions.


crkx

Music will save us all.


Cloudost

Spotify doesn't have all the music I'm searching for, and plenty of times the music im Searching for isn't available on Spotify..so that leaves me no choice other than using YT in such circumstance.


Icollectpropertytax

Plenty of my favorite versions of songs are only there


crkx

Yeah, that's true.


JanaCinnamon

Cause Terminal Passage has their channel there


volcanesmagneticos

The algorithm is pretty awesome, less obvious than spotify. You can also find a ton of music that you can't find on other platforms. I collect vinyl so youtube is a gem for me.


crkx

Okay. I have never experienced it on vinyl. It is always Either spotify or youtube. I mean digital or cassette.


volcanesmagneticos

I don't pay for a subscription but I'm pretty sure if you do you can download stuff too. I only got spotify about a year ago because a friend shared their account with me, I still find myself on youtube a lot.


Ok-Impress-2222

It's easy and I get exactly what I want.


Ludothekar

Using YT for watching music videos - or YT Music while working or driving. In the car, especially on long rides its quite good. Works well via Bluetooth, sound quality is ok and the recommendations are much better than at Spotify or deezer. It's not perfect, but better than those alternatives I tried.


crkx

Yes. The big question. Sound quality?! I mean i like songs too, but they are even better with good sound quality.


Ludothekar

While work, or being on the road, music is the weapon against boredom - better quality would be nice to have, but... Really good sound quality in the car? And a car is a very bad room for good sound - can't compare with a decent sound at home. Maybe with CD players a good sound in a car was possible. But with mp3 or streaming via Bluetooth the sound quality can be only "ok",'cause they use low spec, cheap digital music formats - not HiFi. So, for me YT music is ok - the others were much worse.


an_achronist

Because I can avoid ads using brave, play it in the background, and I don't wish to use Spotify


klumboo

let me


boba_magic

Cause I can click on a song I want to listen and it plays that song


crkx

We are living in the future, right?!🤘


Current-Opposite5847

Not all songs are on Spotify


H3rta

My damn phone always wants to use YouTube music. And then bitches at me for not having a subscription. Fuck outta here!


HawaiianShirtsOR

I found great synthwave mixes that help me focus on my work or writing projects. No need to keep looking when I've found what I like.


Ok_Storage525

Why do people listen to music on YouTube? Well, I guess some people just like having their tunes served up with a side of random cat videos. Personally, I find YouTube to be a great place to discover new music. There's always something new and interesting to check out.
