I was also thinking of a subscription but they're absolutely taking the piss with the price of it. I presume they make more money off adverts. But either way you’d think they’d get easily more than double the subscribers if they charged half the price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're getting ad-free YouTube plus YouTube Music. I pay 20 a month for a family subscription so the missus gets both as well. Obviously any kids could have the same. We've got family Spotify and I'm not even going to attempt to persuade the wife and daughters to swap it for YouTube. (I presume you can download playlists for offline?)

Gemmill 52020 Posted Wednesday at 07:54 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:54 Just now, Howmanheyman said: We've got family Spotify and I'm not even going to attempt to persuade the wife and daughters to swap it for YouTube. (I presume you can download playlists for offline?) Aye it basically does everything Spotify does. I've been using it for years now so couldn't speak to how much better/worse it is than Spotify. There's services you can use to convert all your Spotify playlists over to YT music in seconds. Although obviously YouTube has all its own curated playlists plus the user versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 52020 Posted Wednesday at 07:55 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:55 Do the kids watch YouTube? See if you can't persuade them that the trade off of ad free YouTube makes it worth it. Then you can all gang up on your wife if she's not arsed about YouTube. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 37626 Posted Wednesday at 08:18 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:18 YouTube music has loads of obscure dance stuff from years back. Not available to stream on the likes of Apple. If that’s your thing it’s something to consider. Presumably because the label has folded so no one owns the rights and/or any existing copies aren’t high enough quality. So it’s just stuff where people have uploaded a recording of their vinyl copy or whatever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 16719 Posted Wednesday at 08:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:48 As you can probably imagine, the same is true for losing entries in 1970s Yugoslav Eurovision preselections. 😁 I'd probably struggle to leave Spotify behind, familiarity and all that. We've had a YouTube Premium trial for the last month and not being interrupted by ads is very nice though... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 15021 Posted Wednesday at 12:58 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:58 I paid for YouTube Premium and I can’t go back. You’re basically paying to make YouTube go back to how it was 15 years ago but the ads are so ubiquitous now that it’s beyond a joke. You pause a video and it’s popping an advert up ffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of that what you will I’ve just looked them up, and they were aged 15-17 when they recorded that. They also had a pathological hatred for greyhounds and made it their life’s work to wind the crazy bastards up. One of the above statements is true.
