I’m cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.
It’s funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.
Anyway… there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn’t a thing.
Best music platform ever, and probably forever with the way things are going.
I’m just going to plug iBroadcast to everyone in this thread. It’s everything good about Google Music but without the bad stuff.
It has literally everything, and it’s cheaper than buying cds. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
