I’m cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.

It’s funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.

Anyway… there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn’t a thing.

      I argue plexamp is getting close to this as well. Although I use Synfonium with Plex which is also a very smooth experience.

      GPM is still untouched though. Even if was a rollercoaster waiting for a new client just to have YTM end everything we liked about it.
