Like millions of others, I was a die-hard Spotify fan for years. But lately, I’ve been having a bit of a music app mid-life crisis, and I’ve found myself straying toward YouTube Music. With most music streaming services offering practically the same songs, features, and price tag, how do you choose “the one?” For me, it all boils down to how well the app can read my mind.
You see, my musical taste is anything but simple. I enjoy a wide range of genres, from lyrical rap to 90s Bollywood to 140 BPM techno bangers and everything in between. This creates a couple of challenges when it comes to music streaming. First, I’m often unsure what I’m in the mood for. Second, I’m mostly in the mood for a mix of things at once.
