#12The Google curse. Starting or joining new teams and inventing products "resolving" the exact same problem in order to get noticed and climb the corporate ladder to a Google Fellowship. How about fixing the stuff you got ???.

#141) streams are of FAR lower and more variable quality
2) Some of the weird and wonderful music that was on Google Music is nonexistent on YouTube
3) COPYRIGHT STRIKES from YouTube videos apply to your music library(!?)
The whole transition is a horrible idea, and I wish they would have canned it.

You could host Plex on a raspberry pi in your house. Or you could house it on paid for servers like aws. https://www.plex.tv/en-gb/your-media/music/

Call me old fashioned, but what about a large capacity iPod or phone storage? And then just store the "master" on your laptop and sync as appropriate.

#17Spotify is annoying because the radio stations are garbage & I can't (or haven't yet figured out how to) downvote music.

Isn’t this a by product of the concept of “impact” linked to most tech corporate ladders nowadays?

It's not a good advert for their services, and won't encourage anyone to buy into anything new they create if they just keep closing down services, including paid-for services. You just can't trust them to keep the service running.
