One thing we loved with Spotify was the ability to control the music that was playing on a speaker from a phone, tablet, or Mac. If eaiesr to control music from other devices on Spotify That's no big deal when you haven't started listening to music yet, but it's extremely annoying to have your song cut for a few seconds if you want to transfer it from your phone to your speaker. Otherwise, we prefer using Spotify Connect because the music plays instantly on the speaker, while Google Cast needs several seconds to connect. Spotify (on the left) gives direct access to songs in the search suggestions Spotify Connect is really handy, and you're not going to find it on YouTube Musicĭo you have a speaker that's compatible with both Google Cast and Spotify Connect? We do, but only use Google Cast when launching music from Assistant or for multiroom audio.

This may be a bug, as it would defeat the purpose of having multiple accounts, but it can come in handy if you're playing songs in the living room for your kids and want to listen to music while working. However, you can play three different songs at the same time on your phone, smart speaker, and Mac, for example, using your account. If you're a Spotify user, you probably know you can't play different songs using separate devices with the same account, as the active one would automatically cut playback on all others. You can play songs on YouTube Music in parallel on different devices Update: Even though Spotify doesn't let you upload your songs to the cloud just yet, it's working on the option to let you play local audio files, which could hint the company is working on offering this feature. If you have a Play Music library already uploaded, you'll soon be able to transfer it over, too. The app can also be used to play files stored on your device, while Spotify doesn't offer either of these features. In the same way that Google Play Music lets you upload your audio files to the cloud and play them on any device, YouTube Music offers a similar functionality. However, people don't complain about such an issue with YouTube Music, so switching apps might be better for you-if you have that weird problem.

We tried several times and wrote down the order. We've personally never experienced that on YouTube Music.
