Remember when Google Music hadn't been killed yet...? (lemmy.world)

I'm cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.

It's funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.

Anyway... there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn't a thing.

Slightly? I hated it and switched to Spotify

[-] schnokobaer@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Me too. I would've probably used Google Play Music to the end of my days but the transition to Youtube Music was so good awful I cancelled and switched to Spotify within a couple of days.

I couldn't justify the cost of Spotify when I'm still paying for YouTube premium (and have no plans to quit) and at the end of the day it still isn't GPM
