I'm the opposite. I'm still grandfathered into the $7.99 Google Music sub, which turned into YT Music + YT premium. The cheapest music service with basically free YT premium is nice

I wouldn't pay more though

You should verify you're still at that rate, looks like other people started getting warnings a while ago that it's going up.

Yep. Just got hit with $8.55 after tax a few days ago

Interesting, I still have 7.99 charged on the 18th

It still is in parts. Still takes a few extra taps/screens to get to playlists

They are least stopped the practice of just starting a song when you went into a playlist.

My big gripe was the loss of audio quality. Made me pick up Amazon music for a bit
