Quote from MadPup :
For Android, install F-Droid and from that install Vanced. YouTube and YouTube Music, all ads are skipped.
The official YouTube Vanced isn't on F-Droid and I couldn't find any unofficial versions either. Also, Vanced is shut down so unless you downloaded it before they stopped allowing downloads through Vanced Manager it's very hard (if not impossible) to find the official version

Maybe I'm just weird but I enjoy YouTube Music a lot more than I ever have Apple Music or Spotify. Feels far more intuitive for me.
Absolutely. Hands down.

YouTube was pushing this promo at me multiple times a few months ago and I finally bit on it. As soon as I agreed to it they immediately charged full price to my iTunes account! Their only point of contact is a fax number in San Bruno, CA, and despite multiple faxes they just ignore them. I gave it a couple months of charges then complained to Apple about this scam, had screenshots and everything. Google is a mess.

Quote from johnulcer :
Google Music was the best streaming app ever. The auto playlists were amazing. The integration of uploaded tracks alongside streaming tracks was also brilliant... I had full fledged access to all my mp3s in an easy to navigate fashion, and if I did an auto playlist I'd often have personal uploads appear alongside streaming tracks. It was just brilliant. A good example of this is that I'm a big Prince fan, and had some albums that were unavailable to stream for years (a few that probably still are unavailable) and I could easily play those songs alongside other tracks.

Now, the app has been really downgraded. I still subscribe and it's worth it for ad-free YouTube alone, but the auto playlists are lazy, and I constantly just get the same songs popping up over and over again. Google Music encouraged exploration of music and with YT Music I feel like the algorithm is just constantly giving me the same stuff because the more I listen to it, the more it pushes the same content.

They also relegated uploaded tracks to a separate section of the app and made them deliberately difficult to navigate through so I basically never get to stream my own library anymore unless I think of a specific song and search for it, and even then it can be difficult to find right away. The app navigation is just all around awful.

My theory is they dangled the carrot of personal uploads early on to get mp3 library folks like me to switch, then deliberately phased that out during the rebranding to keep us dependent upon paying for the streaming each month. And I guess it worked. But man, I really miss Google Play Music... RIP... It was so, so much better than YouTube Music on literally every level.
Plexamp. Love it don't need to worry about some service messing with my flac or mp3

Quote from AJayJay1987 :
Not sure this works anymore. You used to have to use a random local address for billing which gets flagged. You can't change the billing country for obvious reasons so I can't get a payment accepted.
Saw this on a link from another user…

"Editor's Note: YouTube Premium has updated its credit card approval process, so this method no longer works for most online users. While you can still connect to a VPN to get a discounted subscription price, you will need a Visa or Mastercard issued from the country you're trying to sign up through, with a corresponding billing address. The VPNOverview team is working on a new solution, so make sure to check back for updates."
