![]() ![]() This money was generated cumulatively by YouTube’s “twin engines” of 1. YouTube’s global head of music Lyor Cohen revealed last week that YouTube has paid out over $4 billion to music rights-holders in the prior 12 months. ![]() YouTube launched a subscription music-streaming service in June 2018 to quench record labels’ criticisms of low payouts from its free offerings - and it’s also now stuffing a huge amount of advertising cash down the chute to music rights-holders. Why the stark difference in Mills’ attitude, then? It comes down to the strides YouTube has made to directly appease the record industry. The European Parliament has since updated those laws to make YouTube theoretically liable for such activity - but, thanks to Brexit and wishy-washy “non-binding” implementation, they remain toothless in key markets such as the U.K. “YouTube’s growth for business over the past couple of years has outpaced everyone as well as the market itself, and is now well on its way to deliver the potential of its huge audience to the music industry, as these revenue figures now show.” Those are the words of Mills in June 2021.įor context, in 2017, Mills was taking a shot at YouTube’s “safe harbor” protections in Europe, which insulated the Alphabet-owned platform from legal endangerment at the time, even if open piracy was taking place on it. Wish nothing but the best for them, but danm does Youtube Music sound appealing when so many talk about it, the sound and variety etc.“ YouTube our music, whether we choose to license them or not… They say they bring users into the licensed ecosystem, but at such a paltry return that they might as well be in the pirate world.” So spoke Martin Mills, co-founder and Chairman of Beggars Group - home to labels including XL Records, 4AD and Matador - in June 2017. Only thing Spotify can do is just step up. ![]() So how do the jump? If its easy sure, but to add all over again by click is somethimg most will not do ir very least hate to do. Only problem like is how to transfer all songs from Spotify to Youtube. Youtube which primary focus video entertainment. Spotify sounds good, but as top used music streamer service you expect them to be the best or atleast better than Youtube. Im still for quality, not naive to aknowledge something better or change. I love Spotify had it for 10 years suprisingly, but kinda sad a site which is primary focus is not music being better than them. I felt it same m, like it clearer, louder and richer on Youtube, but its a small difference. Wanted to see if anyone else had noticed this issue of spotify being quiet compared to youtube. Im thinking of switching after all these years but couldnt find anything online really talking about this. ![]() I also compared downloaded songs and still once again youtube was much louder. Even with these settings youtube still sounded better. I have spotify quality settings set to "very high" on wifi and cellular streaming and i turned off the auto adjust quality setting to ensure the quality wasnt dropping due to weaker connections. I compared quite a few songs and came to the same conclusion. Yet when i play youtube music in my car at at the same set volume, youtube music is much louder and has deeper and richer bass. Youtube's sound quality maxes out at 256kbps and spotify maxes out at 320kbps. This is contrary to the information i found researching. Ive always used spotify premium for years but the other day i tested out youtube music and found the sound quality to be much better. ![]()
