Diving into YouTube Music: Hits and Misses
YouTube Music is my jam for streaming songs, offering a
massive library with extras like live shows and quirky covers. For week 2, I checked out how easy it is to use, its look, and what it delivers,
spotting what’s awesome and what could use a tweak.
Ease of Use: The app’s layout is super straightforward, with
a bottom bar splitting Home, Explore, and Library tabs. You can flick between
your saved tunes or new playlists in a snap. The Home tab serves up song picks
tailored to your taste, but searching is a hassle. Videos often pop up instead
of music, slowing you down. Sometimes playlists forget where you stopped, which
can throw off your listening flow.
Look and Feel: It’s got a cool, dark vibe that’s gentle on
the eyes for long music sessions. The playback screen is lively, with bold
album art, easy-to-tap controls, and lyrics that move with the song. But videos
sneaking into the mix make it feel messy when you just want audio.
What It Offers: You can team up on playlists, download
tracks for offline jams, and flip to music videos for a change. The Samples tab
is great for finding new artists or podcasts. But the sound quality doesn’t
pack a punch compared to apps like Tidal, and there’s no crossfade, so songs
jump awkwardly. Sorting your library is clunky without options like genre or
release year.
Three Ways to Improve:
Add crossfade for smooth song switches.
Crank up audio quality for a fuller sound.
Offer sorting by genre or year for a tidier library.
Home tab showing personalized playlists and album art.
Playback screen with album art, controls, and scrolling
lyrics.
YouTube Music’s huge selection and slick design keep me
hooked, but better sound and smoother features would make it a chart-topper.
