Comments about Spotify as an Alternative to YouTube Music
Top Positive CommentTop Negative CommentOMGparticlesYouTube Music allows you to upload songs and albums, add them to custom playlists, and stream them to any device. Spotify has a decent selection, but YouTube can be augmented to play whatever you like.
Most Recent CommentD7Spotify needs account login and in free version of mobile songs are selected randomly meanwhile YouTube Music is not necessary login and you can play and download songs easily and there are many clients and ways to use the API free.
As free use Youtube is much better than Spotify. If you pay maybe Spotify is better but remember is a "rent of songs".

InnerTune VS YouTube Music
Comments about InnerTune as an Alternative to YouTube Music
This is a great alternative to YouTube music and it's free, very lightweight very smooth and responsive. I have one minor gripe and that's that you can't add artist or albums to your library, but I'm sure this will be fixed in a future update.
I can download songs for offline listening. Less data stolen.
It's much easier to use. The interface is more user-friendly.
