    I subscribed to YouTube Premium a few days ago, after being a long-time Spotify subscriber. It really does seem like a viable alternative… except for the lack of something like Spotify connect. I can’t even control the playback on my computer or TV from my phone. It’s like every YouTube Music device is on their own, knowing nothing about the others. With Spotify I could seamlessly continue the playback of the song I was listening to in my car on my phone and later on the smart speaker in my apartment.

      I’ve tried out YouTube Premium a few weeks ago with the intention of replacing Spotify, but it just doesn’t do the job. I have a use case where I have one computer playing music, but I want to control it with another computer. I’ve yet to find another service that does what I need other than Spotify.
