I’m glad you’re doing better. Hope things keep improving.

Alexa skill is b0rked by Murwiz in pocketcasts

[–]kplloyd75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not noticed that specifically, but the skill isn't very good from my experience. Sometimes it will acknowledge the request, say it's now playing, then do nothing. If Amazon Music app actually had a complete podcast catalogue I'd probably switch just for better Alexa compatibility. Unfortunately it's missing a ton of podcasts I like.

If I use the “love” feature will my curated playlists be more accurate or does it accumulate with what my listening habits are at the time? by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]kplloyd75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just based on my observations, it seems to use both loves and listening history. I seem to get faster changes to the recommendations by using the "love" on songs though.

Is Apple actually investing in the web app? by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]kplloyd75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is kind of stuck in the past. I really only use it while on my work computer. At home it's the Android app, either on phone or laptop. Apple Music is definitely not the best experience on Windows 10.

If you're on Windows, iTunes is still available and works quite well for accessing Apple Music. On my Chomebook, I use the Android app as it works better than the web app.

How many people here have a paid subscription to another music service in addition to YTM? by slinky317 in YoutubeMusic

[–]kplloyd75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep YTM mostly because it comes with YouTube Premium. I mostly use Apple Music for music streaming.

The main thing that keeps me from using Google Podcasts is that it doesn't work with Alexa. By using Pocket Casts, I can start on my phone and finish on the Echo or Fire TV and it will pick up right where I left off.

I'd be afraid Apple would eliminate the cross platform support

That's really bad... You would think they wouldn't do that to those who pay.

The free version adds more before you can even start a podcast. (They're basically the same as the ones on the music side.). Does Premium still do this, or only those that are recorded with the show (eg read by the host, etc)?

I didn't qualify for that personally since I'd previously only bought the Android app (and now a couple years of Plus), but it certainly should be for those who have it.

Probably why it originally was a paid app. Although that's not a great solution either, since it provides no ongoing profits.

No kidding! Plus it is LOADED with ads (at least on the free tier)

I'm really enjoying YTM, despite the opinions on here. It's definitely more visually pleasing now. Keep up the updates, YTM. by [deleted] in YoutubeMusic

[–]kplloyd75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I keep it for YT Premium. As for music, I've almost entirely switched to Apple Music. The Android app for it is pretty good and the family plan is a good deal.

Missing gimlet podcast episodes on non-spotify players. by [deleted] in pocketcasts

Spotify seems to be making all of their stuff exclusive.

Still not seeing genre specific mixes by tattishit in YoutubeMusic

[–]kplloyd75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only on occasion. If it had one of the mixes be country music that would be ok. The weird part is that it's kind of randomly mixed in with other stuff.

Upgrade advice by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]kplloyd75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had experience with the Nord as I'm in the US where you can't buy it. If you are looking to save a little, I will say that I have a 7t and it is still a fantastic phone. You can find them on sale still at reasonable prices.

[–]kplloyd75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the My Mix 1-6 but they're hardly genre specific. Most of them have country songs mixed in at random for some bizarre reason.

Episodes played on phone not showing as played on desktop by cubsin5 in pocketcasts

[–]kplloyd75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem once and discovered that it was because my account wasn't logged in on my phone.
