I love the fact that you can listen to unreleased songs and the live performances on KZfaq Music without having to download stuff.

Very underrated, it has all the music you can wish for. I would love a UI revamping though

Been using KZfaq music since 2021. Haven't left since. No Spotify needed

I’ve discovered more new music on KZfaq music than I ever did on Spotify or Apple.

I’ve had Google Play Music All Access since launch in 2013 at the $7.99/month rate locked in. Now with the transition to KZfaq Music and KZfaq Premium perks all grandfathered in, this is a killer deal for 1 individual. The algorithm for the different automated Mixes and autoplay based on choosing a single song is unmatched!

As a KZfaq Premium/Music subscriber myself I couldn’t agree more! (I have the annual plan) The main reason I switched (from Apple Music) was because of the wider range of song selections especially in more niche genres.

Agreed! KZfaq premium + music is so good, and people would look at me funny when I said I use KZfaq music instead of Spotify, which I find really weird and annoying as people don't know the potential it has. It is also really good value, after using it for a year and a half I have to say it is really worth it, to have ad free normal KZfaq and KZfaq music too.

I've had KZfaq premium for a year or so. Love not having ads and KZfaq music works for me.

Night and day difference between KZfaq Music and others is that with YTM you need to interact with the app even less than other apps. With others you have to every now and then to open the app to skip a song or do something since the app gets you wrong. With KZfaq Music you don’t need to do that. You press play, get on with your life and the app presents you what you actually want to listen without needing to think about it.

Well I switched to KZfaq music, because it came along with premium bundle. 😂

The fact that you get KZfaq premium which means you save days of your life in total from no ads, makes it worth it

FACTS! I use it everyday day alongside regular KZfaq Premium. Getting both for one price is an amazing deal.

KZfaq Premium makes it a killer deal. Switched from Apple Music a few months back and don’t miss it all.

One thing to note about KZfaq music is that the Chromecast experience is the best. When you're casting to a group of speakers and want to move the music around dynamically to different speakers in the Home App the YT Music app stays connected. So if you have a bunch of Chromecast audio devices in your home like I do it makes it very easy to cast and not get frustrated with things getting disconnected. So I can cast on my indoor speakers and then when I go outside I can add my deck speakers and not get disconnected and the music is seamlessly added to the new speaker. Another thing that works really well on KZfaq Music casting is you can have multiple people join the casting session and both can add songs to the playlist which is neat when you have people over.

I started subscribing to KZfaq Premium in November and I could literally never go back.. I watch sooo much KZfaq that it’s worth it. Haven’t used KZfaq music, as I still have Apple Music

KZfaq Music is Goated, for some reason my Account doesn’t get ads so I just start my playlist, lower my brightness to the minimum, and put my phone faced down. Listen to all the Sonic Music I want to for Free without ads!

I had KZfaq Music and when I added 200+ song in to my playlist it started to be laggy, when I wanted to change a song there was a 5 second loading lol, now Im on spotify and happy

The automated play lists and moods are solid, love it

For Talosive Historians, let it be known that this video appeared as a podcast first, then time time later it showed up as a video. Normally it’s the other way around if I recall right. What happens this time? I don’t know.

I switched to KZfaq Music from Apple Music almost a year ago, and haven’t looked back. It’s not as stylish, but it works really well, and I have all the music I want. And once the algorithm is trained a little bit, it really is great at giving me songs I want to listen to.

Thank you for the fresh take on YT Music. Seems like all the videos out there are two to three years old when the UI wasn’t so great. I personally have no major issues with YT Music, especially combined with YT Premium. The only thing I wish they offered is a “Download All” button within the songs tab. YT Music allows you to download all songs within a playlist or if you want to download all songs in an album but I find myself not selecting every song from albums to save within my library. Spotify and Apple Music have this feature and it’s something that I miss. I’m having to download all my songs individually and it’s a pain in the ass. Not sure how it happened but because I was downloading so many songs the app started behaving incredibly slow and ultimately started draining my iPhone battery significantly. I had to delete and reinstall the app to correct this so all the time I put into downloading my songs pretty much was a waste of time. SMH.

Been using it for 3+ years. LOVE IT!!

I don't have KZfaq Premium or Spotify Premium, but I end up using KZfaq Music a lot because they actually allow you to choose songs on mobile (as opposed to Spotify). Also, on both mobile and desktop, Spotify seems to have significantly more ads, but I generally prefer it's interface on desktop.

I just wish they fix the desktop app. Playlist icons become laggy once you go over 50 songs in a list.

KZfaq Music has concerts and bootlegs that are on KZfaq but never officially released so are unavailable on Apple Music, Spotify. Huge advantage to YTM. 🎶

The problem is sound quality :/ After switching to tidal I want nothing else. Everything sounds so clear.

THANKS FOR THIS COMPARATIVE VIDEO MAN

Stop it. You’re making me question my choice of Apple Music 😂 I’ve been considering trying the trials of the other services to see if one suits me more and you’ve re awakened the curiosity

been using youtube music for over 2 years!! love it OH GOOD EVENING DREW!!

Hi - why has youtube messed up my "subscribed" artists list - now I cant find it in the app - it only shows when I log on to the web version on my computor. Is there a way to reset it to what I had before?

yeesh 5months later and that $119 jumped to $139

YT Music has TERRIBLE UI for making playlists is the biggest con. Spotify just made their UI worse so now the playing fields somewhat even ffs.

Does it work on Apple car play as it works on car but no music in playlist or download in car

On the topic of podcasts in the video, are you going to move the tech podcast and ev podcast to the main channel now that there is a dedicated podcast tab on channel pages (similar to the videos, shorts, and live tabs) a few months ago on a livestream you said you would if they added it

I actually use youtube music for free, well... a modified youtube music app that removes ads and adds background play. The only reason I'm not paying for it, is because I can't.

Yeah I can't do without youtube premium is just amazing and I probably watch youtube far to much so I do enjoy not having adds way more and personally I don't really notice much if any difference between those other music services, I'm sure that they are there but honestly if you are just trying to enjoy music yt music does in my opinion a fantastic job

Apple Music found smash into pieces for me and I’m going my second concert of theirs. Apple Music radio definitely got better

KZfaq premium would be worth it even without KZfaq music… but KZfaq music is also great. I signed up for premium for the ad free KZfaq and the mobile features, but tried KZfaq music and it’s been my main music source ever since. I think higher bitrates etc would be a nice option but it’s far from a dealbreaker for me

How do you keep KZfaq Music app playing in the background or when it’s minimized on the iPhone?

I am finding a number of not only artists but songs that I wasn't familiar with but really like on KZfaq Music. I just started listening a couple of weeks ago since it was free and really like the service.

KZfaq music is amazing to me. Especially the algorithm and the synchronization between KZfaq if you hit the like button the recommendations become top tier the more you use it. Make ale another video after 1or3 months of use and I think your opinion of will be completely different

I have some albums on iTunes that I want to put on the you tube music ap. I was able to do this before Google did away with Google play. If I get premium and download cds will they still be ad free if I decide to opt out of you tube premium. I pretty much listen to way older music so I probably wouldn't be putting all that much into my library

As a KZfaq Premium subscriber, I'm trying out KZfaq Music to see if I should cancel Apple Music. Although I love how you can watch the music video straight from the player, there are some minor things that frustrate me. The biggest one is that I have to select shuffle every time I play a song, which defaults to playing songs in alphabetical order and sometimes by artist. Also, not a fan of the UI and the CarPlay app

I definitely echo the sentiment. Whatever one you can get cheap, go with that. For our family, I like apple news+ to read mags, we all use apple fitness+, and we need the cloud storage. So for 3 bucks, we get the music, arcade and apple tv thrown in. I don't really use them, but the rest of our family certainly does.

How to search a song on YTM and remove from the playlist via mobile app? I have to find the song that’s playing manually, that’s weird!

What makes KZfaq Music suck is the app. Not having the fundemental option to Search in your own playlists makes the experience a pain in the ass having to manually scroll thru playlists for a certain song… I’ll still use Spotify as my main music Platform. If YT implement a proper search bar for playlists, i’ll jump over to YT Music as my main platform

Comentario en español: Las ganas que tengo que pasarme a YT Music, porque principalmente, al menos para mi, su algoritmo de recomendaciones en radio, funciona mucho mejor que el de Spotify, sin embargo ya tuve TV Music probándolo por un mes y me hicieron falta muchas funcionalidades, como organización de playlist, personalización, tienes varios albumes importantes que no estan completos (en este punto solo le resto punto y medio, ya que aunque no esten disponibles canciones de forma oficial la maravilla de esta app es que puedo igual encontrarlas por su gran galería de videos) y por último que no tenga app de escritorio (eso ya le resto casi la mitad de puntaje). Uso Spotify pero creo que le han metido tantas cosas que uno ya no sabe que escuchar en la app. si bien puede tener una buena interfaz al tener tantas cosas pued hacerla un poco confusa, por otro lado creo que su algoritmo de recomendaciones es pauperrimo, cuando hago radios de alguna canción que estoy escuchando, hay veces que me recomienda otras que no tienen absolutamente nada que ver, además siento que no descubro música nueva, me para recomendando lo mismo a cada rato, mismo, mismas playlist, mismos albumes, mismos artistas. Si bien usar Spotify es una buena app, puede llegar a ser muy aburrida, ya que no vas a descubrir nuevo contenido. En YT music he descubierto nuevas canciones y artistas en 1 mes que con Spotify en un año.

I have been listing to music through KZfaq music for 5 years now and I would say 99% of the music I listen to and the artists I found I got through recommendations, really obscure stuff as well. Stuff I would have never found otherwise

The only thing about KZfaq Music I like is the ability to upload my personal music collection and making available to access on any device and even play them in the background and no ads.

So do you get KZfaq music if you already have premium?

Because I have KZfaq Premium, KZfaq Music was a bit of a no-brainer for me. It also has more obscure content that you can't find on other services because it is linked to KZfaq. I have found quite a few live tracks that I could never find on Spotify. At first I hated the interface and I kind of wish they had an app (not the Chrome app which is basically the website in different packaging). KZfaq Music is a bit more challenging to manipulate playlists but it's not deal breaker for me. The one feature I don't see others talking about much though, (but for me is great) is the ability to upload your own obscure tracks into your library. Spotify allows you to link to local files on your device and add them to playlists but KZfaq Music allows you to upload to a server so that no matter what device you use those tracks are there. If other platforms can do this, let me know, but as far as I can tell this seems to be something I can only find on KZfaq Music. Now they just need a proper dedicated app wth better song selection tools for compiling your own playlists (ie a more graceful way of being able to select multiple tracks at a time and move them around and re-order them).

For a while my brain only focused on Spotify, the others did not exist, over time KZfaq Premium began to make more and more sense to me. What made me go 100% with KZfaq Music was precisely the wide variety of music, in addition to the fact that the same songs that Spotify or Apple Music have, I can also find on KZfaq. Not to mention that I can listen to presentations or that particular song that they played live, other people's covers (and in their languages), reimaginings with other styles, remixes, and even some soundtracks, whether from a movie or video game that are not available on other platforms, somehow it feels like an exclusivity XD Besides, like many here, KZfaq is one of those things that I consume almost daily, so KZfaq Premium is my best choice.

Is Trap Nation’s music KZfaq channel accessible on the KZfaq music app too?

I keep staying with KZfaq Music after trying the other services. The shuffle feature is what makes it special. I don't use playlists but have a massive library and like to just shuffle it. I'm also a heavy KZfaq video user so it's a no brainer for me.

Weird, In terms of the differences in the algorithms, I found the same diagnosis in reverse going from YT Music to Spotify a few months back. Could not get Spotify to be as versatile as YT was for me so gave up and went back. Suppose once you spend enough time with either one it learns your taste I suppose, and Spotify could have gotten better if I had waited

I was using Tidal. Then I went to compare sound quality on Tidal with sound quality on YT Music Premium. The difference is insane!

Been using it for years. It gets the job done!

My experience: Hey google, play some black death metal 🤘 Google: okay, here’s Friday, by Rebecca Black

I pay for KZfaq premium just to skip the ads. But I use Spotify for my music streaming. KZfaq music for songs that aren’t on Spotify.

Im moving from android to iphone for the first time ever when the 15 pro max comes and ive been trying to learn as much as i can before i do. Do you know if i will have my account will carry over to IOS or will i have to pay for it again via apples app store?

It's amazing how cheap KZfaq Premium with KZfaq music here in the Philippines. It costs roughly 4.33 USD for a family plan which is a no brainer.

I absolutely adore KZfaq music. I’ve been using it for about 4 years. I love it, I pay £15.99 a month for a great music app, no adds, on demand download and streaming, all the KZfaq exclusives. People can make fun of me for paying an extra £6 a month over Spotify, as they sit and complain about adds. End of the day, makes my life easier. They can suck it!

I have paid, family subscriptions to the trifecta: Spotify, Apple One + & KZfaq Premium. I only use Apple Music when Spotify goes down, infrequently. I usually listen to podcasts on Spotify. Half way thru this video I went to KZfaq Music & I did like the music suggestions. Cool video. I liked & subscribed. I tried Spotify and KZfaq free versions, but now, I’m never going back to being the product.

Agreed! Their music variety is surprisingly good.

I like if the KZfaq music does includes the options between the advertisements etc in the paid plan as well cos I personally prefer the paid plan with the advertisements etc, cos it feels like a closer to the real live radio😊

There are random, personalized mixes on yt of pretty much any genre you can find Theres literally a jazz version of final fantasy 14 ost, and other versions like 8 bit if that's your thing Theres other kind of osts too, like smt deep strange journey which arent available on streaming platforms Theres jazz ensembles, theres ambience music, theres anime ost too, there's a lot of stuff thats simply not available on spotify apple music etc This is pretty much why i stick with yt music, the app by itself might nkt be as good, the lyrics section i hate. The explore page kinda sucks imo, just like yt But i dont think id switch to other apps simply because of all of its benefits.

Why does everyone overlook Amazon music? It’s easy to use and good value if you are already a prime member.

Very informative thank you

How has no one commented on one fundamental issue with YT Music: they add all the non music but musical in nature clips or just random clips that’s difficult to identify. I like to put my overall list on shuffle, and despite spending hours adding and refining, it scours all my video likes and adds clips or vids that aren’t songs at all. I don’t like having random clips pop up in my car alone or with ppl. They need to isolate better what qualifies as music and not pull from their entire damn library. Until then I’m using a different service despite having YT premium

Yeah, People at work talked about a shared play list its , weird and yes, you can turn it off in settings, i am not sure where.

I have been trying to sync KZfaq Music across devices but it has been impossible, I think I am missing something ! 🤯

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! ALSO you can make playlistmixed with youtube videos and music, so you have access to all the remixes and unlicensed music, its like having a soundcloud and spotify/apple music in one platform. And the suggestion algorithm is fire.... interface could use some work though!!

 Music Lossless and spatial audio are killer features that I can’t live without.

I'm part of that younger generation, so I'm supposed to list these music streaming services but honestly I don't. I'm old school, I honestly like and don't mind spending money and building up my music library. yes I know its the expensive way but, pay once and you have them for ever.

I Don't Hall All That Stuff I Want This Suff Back

I find KZfaq music has the best user interface of every other music streaming app!

Because it is from youtube, sound quality and volume is not consistent

Podcasts on KZfaq Music are such a welcome addition.

I've been going with YT Premium all the way back to the beginning. Have Music grandfathered in. Still have Apple music and Spotify. Of the Three Spotify has been the least used. Not that it's bad, not at all. I just use the other two more depending on if I'm on my Pixel or Xr more. I will say that Google has done some good work with YT music and gives me more of a reason to use it.

As a switcher from Apple Music to KZfaq Music, can’t agree more. The selection is just so much larger!

I was starting to miss preachy Tim sir. Glad he is back :D

The best combination for me is KZfaq Premium for discovery and videos, and then using Apple’s Music app unsubscribed for a local library that manually syncs to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and a restored iPod. Getting back into iPods brought back a really nice part of life where you can just enjoy the music undisturbed and with physical button control - but you’ll probably want to update their batteries and storage so they last another 10 years.

I actually hate YT Music. The fact that it STILL doesn't let people hide user-uploaded content is perhaps the biggest annoyance. When it "transferred" my music from Google Play Music, I'd say like 90% of my library was user-uploaded garbage where the sound quality was horrid. Trying to search for official artist tracks is a nightmare because if I wanna add Bad Boys by Wham to my library I'm recommended the song as uploaded by goyslop69 instead and it sounds like shit. Deezer or Spotify is far better and doesn't have this issue. If I REALLY wanna listen to something only available on KZfaq, I already have a good KZfaq-to-MP3 converter and I can retag the music as I want. I'll stick to Deezer, thanks.

The day KZfaq Music will allow offline listening on Apple Watch is the day I will stop use Apple Music. I workout without my phone so this feature is a must for me.

As a KZfaq Premium subscriber, I wish KZfaq Music was better. While it is cool you can get remixes and songs that aren't available anywhere else, it sometimes mixes up fan-made music with official releases. I want the official release where possible, not some fan-uploaded content where the quality and labelling can be hit or miss. KZfaq Music also lacks other basic functionality like Normalization, crossfade etc. And then library management also seems lacking. It might be fine if you only have a thousand or so songs, but I have well in excess of 10,000 songs, which to me is where Apple Music especially shines and maybe Spotify. KZfaq Music has the potential to be something really good, but Google doesn't seem to be putting much effort into it, and they might get bored of it and close the service. I just feel that Spotify and Apple Music are clear leaders in streaming. Tidal and Amazon Music have the quality, but their apps suck.

The easy way to not have any ad or sponsor is KZfaq++ (at least on iOS). It gives you all the KZfaq premium feature (even download and PiP) it blocks ads and automatically skips sponsors. It feels like cheating and probably breaks the YT economy but it’s so good.

personally i think yt musics biggest buff is all Spotify premiums features + KZfaq premium

This intro is underrated!

I have been using youtube premium + music for years. In the recent months I've been dabbling with spotify and found I like it better because you can sort your songs within a playlist by title, artist, album or recently added. You can also exclude playlist from your music taste. For YTM, I don't like it's shuffle function algorithm. When I click shuffle on a list of like 300 songs, I expect it to shuffle through the list randomly every time, but what I find happening often is that the algorithm typically starts the list of shuffled songs with songs it thinks I like most, and that's annoying. The whole point of shuffling for me is to hear something random and different, not so much for my favorites. However YTM is better than Spotify in song availability. Some songs can not be found in Spotify, but youtube truly has EVERYTHING I could think of, because they either have the licensing or someone has uploaded it to KZfaq. Even if you run into a song that isn't found at all, you can upload the song yourself and it's playable from any device as long as you're logged into your account. With Spotify you can upload local songs, but those will only be available for playback on the device you uploaded from and the file has to exist & remain locally. I still want to switch to Spotify, because I'd rather lose a few songs here and there, than to not have a way to sort songs in my playlists easily.

Can't use other platforms (because of reasons the author gave in this video) but fuck ym doesn't work in my country 😭😭😭😭😭

I agree 💯

There is sponsor block chrome extension. I don’t mind sponsorships but the mid roll ads from KZfaq have gotten out of hand imo.

this is how it should be: 0:00 Skit 15:34 Commentary

ive been bouncing between the main 3. Apple is nice, Spotify is overpowered in a lot of ways, and YTM is just kinda awesome.

My brother pays for the family Spotify premium service and I use my own account and he uses his. I like not having commercials. The commercials made Spotify useless.

My only issue with YT Music is that there is no in-app equalizer. Other than that, it’s a no brainer when I’m already paying for YT Premium.

I’d love to switch to YT Premium but I won’t budge on Apple Music because of the Siri Shortcuts integration that you won’t get on any other streaming app.

There’s actually sponsors block that can bypass all the sponsors part, I use it with KZfaq premium and it has been perfect.

Honestly KZfaq premium bundled with KZfaq music is so good. I do not care much for any streaming services but KZfaq premium is gold and KZfaq music bundled makes it even better. I can simply like a music and it is added and my best feature, almost any music from KZfaq is possible to add and it is good! I think as a stand-alone it might not be great for everyone but coupled with KZfaq premium is awesome

I know it’s not the best Music streaming service, but the ad-free benefit keeps me on YTM.
