    I do find it amusing that GPM closing down made Apple Music the best music experience on Android. For how I browse and listen to media it’s far better than YouTube Music was for me - not to mention it actually looks really good.

      What makes it particularly good? I use Spotify myself.

        Personally, I listen to most of my music by Album, then by all albums of an artist only in my library, and finally by playlist. YouTube Music made the default organization (atleast when I tried it) by viewing the entire artist, and viewing individual albums was multiple layers deep. I also kept running into music on there having their licenses renewed (I think?) and they would be disappear from my library. I’d have to go back and re-add the albums. I just became frustrated enough I had to search for something else. I just really like the layout of My Library -> Artist (play or shuffle all) -> Albums (play or shuffle all).

        The Library system is better than the “Like” system on Spotify imo

        Also has lossless, the ability to upload your own files to the cloud, and pays artists more per stream

      Can I listen to Apple Music on my desktop on a web browser while being logged in to Apple Music on my iPhone/Android? The last time I subscribed to Apple Music (back in March or April 2023), it didn’t allow being logged in and playing music on multiple devices simultaneously.

        On a single account, no. You cannot listen from multiple devices at the same time. You can have multiple logged in, but only one can be actively playing a time. I’ve swapped between my phone and my desktop – and occasionally you’ll get a popup that “only one device can be listening at a time” but it usually just takes dismissing & clicking play again to get it to refresh. I think if you have a family plan the limit is 6 devices or something, but don’t take just my word for it.
