Ya. I was originally a Google Play music subscriber which got turned into
YouTube music, for $9.99usd. Now they’re increasing the cost by like $4 after December. So I moved to the spotify family plan and now I share with my love ones for only a little bit more than the new YT price.
YT music was turning to sit though. It would always play music video audio with long ass shitty intros when the studio album music existed in their catalog. Even with the music video option turned to off.
Yeah, I fell into the same situation. I had a YouTube Music family plan that they told me was no longer grandfathered in, so I also switched to Spotify and have been happy with it. In my case, though, I lucked out because I only needed to keep one other person on the plan with me, so I went with the duo plan instead of the family plan and ended up saving money in the end.
If Google wants me back they can offer ad-free YouTube for $2/mo and that’ll be back as it was. That’s really the only thing I still miss, because god knows the music player itself wasn’t great.

Ya. This was my last straw. Figured I’d give them until the end of the original 9.99. So far the transition to Spotify has been good.
What about ReVanced? Or ViMusic?
Definitely open to other options, but now I’m basically stuck since I have family on my family plan now.
If you were in the beta. It’s 7.99.
I’ve been paying 7.99 since day one of Google Play Music. They added YouTube Red (Premium) shortly after.
Damn. I was early to Play Music, but not beta early. That’s an amazing price.
