If only it didn't use YTM as a backend. Youtube Music has the absolute worst recommendations I have ever used. It will literally play a song from an artist I never heard before in a genre I don't listen to. It's completely random. I wish OGG players were more popular.
That's exact opposite of my experience with it.
What does a file format have to do with music streaming apps?
I say ogg instead of mp3, because I prefer it over mp3. OGG was always open but mp3 was formerly patented.
But we're talking about streaming here, not local playback.
I'm talking about streaming versus local playback, saying local playback is better for me.
Hmm ok.
I really like the interface of Namida for local play https://github.com/namidaco/namida
I don't have a problem with it playing a song way out of nowhere, but what if does do is play the same like 20 songs over and over and over when I let it try to recommend things. Like the songs it picks are decent recommendations but damn could I have something different?
And while we're venting, its recommended album feed for me is surprisingly good, except that half the things it recommends are singles releases. I don't want to see those please let me just se albums...
At least they fixed the bug where "repeat album" would constantly turn itself on.
