same here. tried jerboa and thunder for a but always come back to eternity. maybe it’s just cause I’ve been using infinity for so long lol.

kept private. they’re just in my yt music library with the rest of my music. it’s not uploaded as a YouTube video anyone can access.

oh yea 100%. I’m not going to argue it’s not piracy to upload soundtracks you don’t own to YouTube.

I think there’s still plenty legal cases for allowing uploading of user files (not to YouTube, to your private yt music library). ie uploading bought albums from bandcamp.

that’s such an immediately cynical take on it. at the time, there was no other way to listen to the p3r soundtrack. ATLUS has now put it on digital streaming platforms, including yt music, so I don’t have to do that anymore.

how is it a bad thing to allow users to upload their own files? there’s plenty of stuff you’re not going to find on any digital streaming service. old mixtapes, Nintendo soundtracks, etc.

have you ever looked into roon + tidal + jellyfin? looking into media server stuff now and wonder how that would integrate with jellyfin, if it even can.

yea but someone always reuploads pretty quickly. it was funny seeing ATLUS try to squash all the uploads of Persons 3 Reload’s soundtrack when that came out. someone had a new playlist uploaded within the day lol. and now it’s easily findable.

like I mentioned in another comment tho, if you have the files yourself you can just upload them to yt music directly. no need to upload to YouTube and worry about takedowns.

you can just upload music to YouTube music directly tho? like old Google Play music. you don’t need to do this workaround of uploading a YouTube video of the track, just drag-and-drop your files to the YouTube music site.

YouTube Music allows you to do this fyi

for anyone curious, YouTube Music definitely has this, I’ve recently used it. looks like a holdover from the Play Music days.

tried the other posters buycott site, but the play store link leads to a “can’t find app” page. at least in America.

this app seems to be similar and is available. messing with it for a few minutes and it works. https://www.goodsuniteus.com/

I’m with you on this one. it’s really easy to go “lol another Google app dead,” but this one case I’m ok with. YouTube has become the place for video podcasts. it wasn’t something YouTube pushed for, it just naturally happened as the site was well built for it. I used to have to use YouTube for video podcasts and pocket casts for audio. now I can just use YouTube music for both, and I find the UI much better at separating music and podcasts then Spotify.

it’s annoying as hell that they don’t have basic features in YouTube music yet tho, like mark as played or notifications for new episodes, which is crazy. you can’t even search the RSS directory for audio podcasts, you have to manually put in the feed url. it’s the Google Play music shutdown all over again. but I still believe the idea of moving audio podcasts to YouTube music makes sense.
