YouTube Music is a much better option than Spotify, in my opinion.

On top of the music you get ad-free YouTube.

I also upload any music I buy via Bandcamp or physical CD so I can listen to it anywhere. No one else offers that as far as I know.

Just make sure you use the unofficial YouTube Music desktop app (http://ytmdesktop.app/) if you're on a PC because using it in a browser sucks.

in theory i agree, but i could not stand the UI when i tried youtube premium, compared to spotify which is just seamless

Not sure if you were referring to YT Music by YT Premium. But YT Music is a different interface specifically for music.

I think its the same thing here, you pay for premium it gives you access to YT music

they are talking about User Interface, it's different for YouTube (the one for video) and YouTube Music (the one for music). Premium subscription can be shared between the two services, that's correct

i know, and the YT music interface in my opinion, is shit

Try InnerTune or ViMusic. They're based on YouTube Music. Both can be found in F-Droid
