    **Correction** We mistakenly said Sonos had Chromecast support, it does not. Here are our full guides for using KZread Music & Apple Music if you want to learn more about them: How to use KZread Music: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYZ-zJV9j7angJM.html How to use Spotify: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKFnqNCecsWtj7g.html Also, KZread Music has a student plan for $4.99 / month and there is a KZread Premium student plan for $6.99 / month.

    The biggest difference is that KZread has a LOT more music. Uploaded remixes, mashups, unreleased versions, bootlegs, explicit language versions, music video audio with the scripting, karaoke versions, 12' or extended versions, imports... I can never find these versions on Spotify. They seem to only have radio versions. I like finding EVERYTHING not just canned radio.

    I had the same problem as you, I really wanted to listen to maplestory bgm but spotify didn't have any, so I just converted them to mp3 with good audio, then went into spotify's local files, choose the file where I had the download mp3s, and bam, I could play them on my desktop. Then you just have to look up a tutorial on how to download those files onto your phone, its quite easy. KZread doesn't have crossfade which is a godsent, and the audio quality in spotify is much better, ntm I can watch my favorite podcast joe rogan now which I usually did on youtube to sleep, now I can just set a sleep timer at the end of the episode. I was trying to find an alternative to youtube since it kept censoring content creators, not to mention banning a youtuber with 5m+ subs for "bullying/hate speech" when he didn't have any previous strikes, glad I got spotify and unsubscribed from youtube premium, I suggest you do the same ;)

    I’ve been trying out KZread music recently and I really do like it. I’ve been a Spotify user since day one which has been over 10 years. Unless there is a clear personal bias I see no way that KZread music is better than Spotify. Spotify is still most definitely better. KZread music does offer more songs but a lot of the additional songs that you can’t find on Spotify come in inferior audio quality on KZread music because most of them were uploaded to KZread with a crappy audio quality to begin with. Both platforms are very good but Spotify is still the better one.

Spotify is far better in terms of audio quality and features such as sleep timer, crossfade, exclusive podcasts that spotify bought, and other subtle things that is very convenient, such as remembering what speed I have podcasts set to, but it still sets my song speed as normal, and being able to download songs from youtube and have it play on spotify for offline use, the list goes on.

This isn't a problem for most, but a problem for me since I like to keep both separate. Sure, you can make a brand account, but it's very limited with the features. Oh and also, Spotify doesn't have a hard-cap limit on how much songs/albums you have in your library anymore (excluding playlists and downloads which are still capped at 10k). I believe YT still limits it to 5k, plus the liked songs are associated with your liked videos.

Smart download is one of the best features of pro version, who is insane to download music by clicking download on hundreds of clips juts enable one option and music is downloaded automatically by ai. Also it is free with YT premium and it feels more like addition for YT premium unlike on Spotify where everything feels like you need to buy pro version because they complicate everything.

    To me its always been a no brainer. The youtube premium is the reason I've always chosen Play/KZread music. I don't care much about discovery or recommendations being an "old timer" who is pretty set into certain styles. As long as the music is there. Podcasts are easily found elsewhere and I don't see why the need for Spotify to mix them in. The only "cons" are I don't like when I am watching music on youtube and it tells me I should open it in YTM, and I don't really care for the videos mixed in YTM.

    My alarm on my Android phone let's me use KZread Music I feel like this a good app review/comparison. Just as a note: I'm a musician as well as avid music listener... And as such am looking for more depth behind the technical aspects. Like it'd be cool to include info on artists, the band, or producer. Some movie apps do this where they will show trivia, or behind the scenes information on the movie while you're watching... In case you want to go deeper. For instance, a lot of artist have played in different genres, or who were the artists influences? I think this would cause an app to stand out, when choosing which one to go with.

    1 year later, YT Music has 6 daily mixes + 1 massive supermix combining all of your tastes into 1 playlist, something that Spotify doesn't have. On top of that, it has much more music, and Spotify's goal is to make you absolutely miserable without premium. One thing they don't tell you about being a free user is that they'll interrupt any playlist you're listening to (including your liked songs) with "suggested songs". Are these songs very similar to your specific tastes that Spotify thinks you'll like? Nope! It's all whatever's currently charting in the mainstream such as Ed Sheeran, Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Glass Animals, etc. If you're a free user, you should ALWAYS go with YT Music. Their ads are also much shorter and skippable after 5 seconds, while Spotify has unskippable 30 second ads, and also plays up to 3 or 4 in a row.

    2:25 Here is my biggest (not only) issue with these services. Using Google Play Music, I could buy individual songs and then stream them online OR download them to my device so I can listen offline. Neither Spotify nor KZread allows this. If I want to download music THAT I PAID FOR WITH MY OWN MONEY then I have to PAY THEM to do it. Could you fucking imagine buying a car and having the dealer say "You can drive it anywhere you want, but if you want to park it at your house we charge $10 per month for that." Basically... if I'm anywhere that I can't get a decent cell signal I can't have my music collection. KZread and Spotify believe it's not my fucking right to have what I bought. It belongs to them somehow. Absolutely, positively and without any hesitation: Fuck them.

    @@rogerclarke4760 They're definitely pushing a lot of people to Bandcamp and Amazon (if Amazon still sells individual songs like they used to) and whatever else still exists that offers proper downloads, and where that doesn't work, to piracy of course.

    The one thing that attracted me to KZread music is that their auto playlists/song radios make more sense. When listento South African music, spotify will throw in every genre as long as it's by a South African, so you could go from Amapiano to Sjava, to hip hop to RNB even though those songs have no correlation whatsoever. With YTM if you are playing South African Hip Hop, it will mix that with similar artists from other countries, including the US . And if you play Amapiano on it sticks to it

    I switched from Google Play Music to Spotify Premium and have not looked back since then. It is hands down the best music app out there.
