Keep is pretty nice for a basic note app, which is all I ever really needed. Of course, I'm trying not to get too attached, as I recognize that Google will kill it sometime in the next few years.

Samsung note is OK once you've gotten used to it. It's pretty much a clone of iOS' way of doing things.

Nah, 2019 Keep is all about AI-powered cash transfers between your Keep Contacts, for those times when you're with your photogenic Millennial Friend Group at your favourite artisanal breakfast cereal bar and Joey chanted the wrong slogan in between mouthfuls so you have to cover for him, again

so I could say that I finally figured out what this god damned cube is doing. Get well Lowtax.

Well they apparently might be killing Play Music soon, so who freakin knows anymore YouTube’s new music streaming service reportedly launching next March Or I guess more likely it'll be a new app that kinda does the same thing but also kinda doesn't Presumably it will also have nothing to do with YouTube TV, and YouTube Red will probably still be a thing somehow. None of the above possibilities would surprise me, especially considering I had to pass the above article through 3 different apps (Newsstand, "search", and Chrome) before I could copy the URL.

It's Google so they'll just have two competing music services that do slightly different things, with neither having all the features you actually want.

Youtube Red isn't even available in most of the world, including Canada. So I fully expect them to fold those products into one, and have it not be available here. That's so lovely. I think I'm gonna switch to Spotify just to avoid this incoming joke.

After using GPM for a few years, and being a Google fanatic, I tried Spotify premium and it's just really nice. Maybe Google can tighten up and entice me to come back.

How did you, or how should I, move your GPM playlists over to Spotify? That's honestly the one big thing holding me back, it would be loving terrible to have to remake everything.

I did not know how much I needed volume normalization until I tried GPM trial again. That was pointless 3 month trial  Well, not that Google has changed anything else either, still no desktop client, UI features geolocked  and maybe it was just bad luck but immediately stumbled on bunch of albums that were on Spotify but not GPM... ah well

I'm still grandfathered into GPM's early adopter price ($8/month) and the lack of ads on YouTube is a nice extra perk, and with the content being mostly the same across platforms it'd take a lot to make me switch. Hopefully they won't do anything stupid enough to make me want to. Spotify is appealing just because more people use it and it's not tied into any other products, but I still wouldn't pay more for it. Speaking of being tied to other products, Google and Amazon need to kiss and make up already. Pulling YouTube from Amazon devices is ridiculous, and the more stuff they integrate with YouTube the more ridiculous it'll become.

It's the radios that's the killer feature about gpm, does Spotify have anything similar or is it just rigid playlists? Being able to point it at an artist and tell it to play related poo poo is the best, and the pre made ones are great too

Spotify has features for Radios for individual artists and genres. There's also a setting to continue playing similar music once you reach the end of an artist's album/playlist. Google gave me 6 months of free GPM but I went back to Spotify after a week. Spotify's Discover Weekly feature (weekly auto generated playlist of music they think you'd like) is too good and spot on.

As we don't get youtube red here I'm totally expecting them to gently caress up this merge somehow, so it's nice to know there's a useful alternative

Definitely agreed, and everyone is right about there being radio functionality but it is hit or miss for me as to whether I'll like what they pick; Pandora was way better in that respect

The few times I've tried it, it either doesn't work at all (the fake PO box thing, using "90210" is hilariously common) or the VPN ceases to work or exist. It's also just not worth the hassle, I don't know anyone who does that anymore.

Thanks whoever recommended Soundiiz. It worked perfectly, only missed a few songs. I did have to get the premium for $4.50, but it was worth it to avoid that hassle, plus I had spare Opinion Rewards credits.

Having tried both services extensively, GPM does a much better job of creating radio stations based on a song / artist / playlist than Spotify did.

azurite posted:Is Spotify capable of pre-downloading auto-generated stations on an automatic basis like Google Play Music? idk about stations but I have it set to download both my Release Radar (new recommended music from my listened to and/or followed artists every Friday) and Discover Weekly (music that Spotify thinks I'll like based on my listening habits, mostly newer stuff from artists I'm not familiar with, updated every Monday) playlists. they both download every week and are usually 30-40 songs each. it works pretty well. their recommendations keep getting better and better with time - they put me on to tons of good music this year. there's also a bunch of "daily mix" playlists that may be able to be set to download too...not sure. e: the one glaring omission from the Android app is basic playlist editing features. you can add or remove songs from a playlist, but that's it. you're much better off using the desktop version. apparently the iOS version has much more full-featured playlist editing.
