YouTube music app is terrible, any music that I own starts with a 15 sec advertisement. The layout of the app is very confusing. I already miss Google play music.

    "It's time to let go of Google Play Music and embrace YouTube Music."

    That's gonna be a no from me.

    I like how google just expects their users to just switch apps. If I have to switch, it's away from google for me.

      The bad side Youtube Music, when it reaches the device limit, it cannot download songs again

          Google has a nasty, evil habit of creating useful apps that people come to depend on then kills them to force people onto an inferior product. Google Music just sucks.

            Doesn't care don't they. Go to Google Play Music and see the five start ratings from the ones who use it regularly.

              Also, kids under 13 that are part of your family cannot use YT Music via Assistant. So, as a YouTube Premium family plan subscription payer, half my family can't use what I'm paying for.

              Ya broke it Google! I'm getting less that I agreed to now.

                  There isn't a YouTube music app for wear os but they've already created one for the apple watch. Wondering if I should ditch wear os or YouTube music...

                    Any good music player other than YT Music?
                    It is too slow and is not supported in my country -_-

                      Lol, never use this app at all. Not even interested with YouTube Music. I'll stay with Spotify.

                        The youTube music is not available in my country, so when I go and download the app, all I see is google play music with youtube's colours. So as it's not supported in all countries, why force the migration if it offers the same options?

                          YouTube music not synchronis device files, it's bad thing for Nokia users, they've to download third party apps with lots off ads & by giving unnecessary permissions to them.
