Google just increased our family subscription by 50% - I’ve been progressively moving off Google, music the last remaining hurdle, but I’ve decided I’m up for it (I have gazillions of playlists!).

Any advice on easy way to do? There are no end of paid third party options online, but I have no idea which are any good, plus I assume I would need to give them my Google account details (which I’m unlikely to do).

I hate the thought of manually loading Spotify one song at a time, but suspect this is where I will end up.

Perhaps just give this thread a read instead of jumping: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=151&topicid=303137 :)

Hey,

Can you elaborate on google increasing family play by 50%

I have a yt premium account and pay via the Phillipines so it's only $7 month for yt family plan.

What does your costs look like now?

Look into the thread above. You can even get it way cheaper than that.

Goodness me. It seems steep. They got me paying it originally for the premium content and YTP has not produced anything worthwhile in a long long time. Now I'm used to watching YouTube without ads it could be hard to kick. YTM was almost an unexpected bonus. I do like YTM but there are many gaps to annoy me.

according to the first result on Google "Creators earn about 55% of the revenue on their channels — for every $100 an advertiser pays, Google pays $55 to the creator. The average YouTuber makes about $0.18 per view or $18 per 1,000 views". Well ok there's no platform like it from creator pov.

It's clearly been a good strategy got me watching more YouTube but I can't help feeling some bait and switch was involved 😂. Also there's no YT plan I can roll my storage into and whatever other google services I'm using. Google One is just storage..🤷

I used soundiiz.com & yes you must Auth your google account so It can transfer playlist. Just buy a 1m sub, transfer every in a cpl hours & de-Auth google account.

One advantage YT Music has is the ability to add YT videos to your music playlist. Rare & live tracks that aren't available no where else.
