So I have been using Google Play Music for a few years and I love it. I will not go into the history of why this streaming service is a gamechanger for us old guys, but suffice it to say that once upon a time you had to purchase an album in the form of vinyl, cassette, or CD. Again an entire album. There were merits to this process to be sure, but audiophiles aside, streaming is a vast improvement.
So on to why I enjoy my Google Play streaming service. I plug in play "Rolling Stones" it will take me to the "Who" and "Fleetwood Mac". Even better, as an old guy, I may find a band I like that is newer, I.e. "Cage the Elephant" and it takes me down the road of similar bands which I can hit with a thumbs up or down, but continues to provide me with newer bands/songs that I enjoy.
I imagine this all depends on an algorithm that is way beyond my comprehension. Yet as far as Google Play Music is concerned while it is not spot on it does do very well selecting music that I enjoy.
Enter YouTube music. I am told GooglePlayMusic will be eventually phased out to be replaced by YTM. Really, I am pretty open to a change, but the algorithm seems to be SO very wrong when compared to Google Play.
Anyone else have a similar experience or a vastly different one? Anyone else thrilled with their music streaming service that would care to share?
Much appreciated.
