> I have a large collection of rare and unique tracks, and I listen to music every day. I've been very satisfied with Google Play Music and now I'm having this utterly abysmal YT Music bs forced on me. It feels like a cruel joke.
I don't see how you're forced to use Youtube. I agree that using Youtube as your music library and management tool seems ridiculous. However why would anyone but casual listeners do so when there are plenty better alternatives? Just use one of the countless music players and library management tools much better suited to that task. Personally, I love Roon [1], but if you prefer something more affordable or free several other options come to mind:
- MusicBee
- Swinsian
- Foobar
or just plain old iTunes / Music.app
All of them are much better music players / collection organizers than Youtube.
