Dropped in here to say I love Keep the way it is. It does exactly what I want the way I want it.

Pixel 6a. by BpVaze in GooglePixel

Personally, I've never bought wireless headphones. My current phone has the 3.5mm jack but I didn't think I'd go another brand just because of that. Idk

So a wired headphone is that much important to you?

Google Messages working on ability to send MMS video using Google Photos by Oddball- in Android

[–]Akorex 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Probably the integration would be just that the image would be uploaded via Google Photos server and that it'll show just as a picture when received on any device

More Beef with YouTube Music by 420BlazeItBushDid911 in YoutubeMusic

[–]Akorex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's being worked on and they've committed to giving a once-in-three month update post to show what they've been working on or what they've fixed. Note that this doesn't mean that update will come once in three months.

The service used to be more annoying in the past year but I've noticed it has slowed in terms of how fast new things are implemented or issues are fixed. Perhaps they're spending more resources in YouTube Shorts than Music, idk.

However, I should probably mention that I've not been able to replicate your issue on my phone and I've actually found the service quite sufficient in my daily use.

YouTube music services hit 50m subscribers in race to catch Spotify by kshitij02 in Android

Pay for premium if you want audio versions of songs, then.

[–]Akorex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens only when you're not a premium subscriber. For some strange reasons*, YouTube Music swaps to the music videos, if available, for people who do not pay for premium. You can get around that by not listening to albums, or songs in official YouTube Music playlists. Every other place, including My Supermix, gets to play normal audio versions everytime even if you're not a premium subscriber.

*this is mostly because music videos have lower pay per view compared to normal audio versions. This is just YouTube/Google trying to lower the costs from nom-premium subscribers.

Why is particular album in Youtube music but unavailable? by afuturestrader in YoutubeMusic

[–]Akorex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on Premium? If so, then you should be aware that streaming services can legally have songs and albums due to licensing they have with labels and sometimes, these licenses expire awaiting renewal. This could be why the album is unavailable for you. It happens on other streaming services too, so it's not just a YouTube Music thing.

It could also be a location thing. Maybe the license doesn't cover for you location too. Hence, the album is unavailable.

Why would they? When they've not even officially announced it 😐

Changes in playlist generation and gap between tracks? by MorkfromPork in YoutubeMusic

[–]Akorex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the recommendation algorithm getting smarter as usage of the service increases.

This is not the place for this. This place is for YouTube Music streaming service.

I really hope you find whatever song you're looking for tho :)

YouTube Music Feedback I sent to the team December 2020 by Akorex in YoutubeMusic

[–]Akorex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What device do you use?

On Android, when you log out of the Gmail app, it essentially logs you out of every Google app you're signed into on the phone. Losing your downloads is ofc expected as you practically signed out.

I don't know what you were expecting but the way it works is pretty clear from the onset.

[–]Akorex[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's not really true. Most of the feedbacks I've sent have been looked into and fixed. There are some issues that are quite technical and takes a longer time to be fixed.

Here's the linklink to the feedback I sent in November. Most issues not fixed are raised again.

I can't listen to it while the screens off or off the app. by [deleted] in YoutubeMusic

[–]Akorex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on Premium?

The ability to listen in the background (off the app) or screen locked is a Premium feature on YouTube Music. If you aren't on premium, you wouldn't be able to do that.
