      GP Music wasn’t too bad. I wish Apple would bring an iTunes client to Android, or at least if there were a decent comparable product (that supports streaming+purchasing music as I actually prefer to buy the songs I like).

      Locking people into the streaming model is lame

      I happen to use YT Music despite it sucking because I already pay for YouTube premium, and it seemed dumb to pay for Spotify or Tidal instead. Plus I hated what Spotify was doing by trying to combine music and podcasts into a single app. So naturally, a few years later Google is combining music and podcasts into a single app.

        A few years ago, before Google introduced YouTube music, they had the Google Play Music app that let you listen to their entire catalog, download/cache the songs beforehand, listen to your own audio files on local storage (including .flac files), and subscribe and listen to Podcasts.

        Literally was one of my most used apps until YouTube Music happened and they had less features for double the price.
