Do you know that youtube stopped encoding mp3 ages ago? Whatever mp3 you listening, is re-encoded through ymusic's internal media converter with the help of ffmpeg transcoder library.

Re-encoded audio is always worse than the source. The max quality you can go with youtube audio, is opus 140kbps from web, or AAC 256kbps through YTMusic premium high quality mode.

Here are the streams extracted from youtube-dl for an example song (weekend's blinding lights)

Replying quoted below, sorry 😉
[Android Apps and Games] H7p3r10n:
Don't worry, I'm a computer engineer and also an expert in audio processing and especially about codecs.

If the original source used by Ymusic is not mp3 : one thing is sure : it's not AAC LC128kbps !!! cause it doesn't have the low pass cutoff at 15khz that the stock YouTube Music and YTM Vanced provide for free. SO Ymusic must be using something better such like AAC 256kbps LC VBR, which is CD quality sound.

You are right about one thing : it's obvious that generation transcoding implies loosing some data at each pass , but it also has been ABX proven that you can transcode more than 10 consecutive times the same file before human ear can notice sound downgrade cause each codec pass tries to preserve the psychoacoustics.

Anyway : Ymusic provides CD quality sound, and I have very highend audio gear and trained ear to appreciate this. And Vanced YTM didn't ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
Not AAC. It's Opus. Format code for default opus audio is 251. You can cross check it from stats for nerds, & youtube-dl format codes.

AAC 256k is YTMusic premium exclusive only.

Vanced Music without a premium sub plays AAC 128kbps (go enable stats for nerds & cross check format code you'll get 140, which is .mp4a 128k)
[Android Apps and Games] gb2b:
Hello,

My youtube subscriptions in ymusic have gone since yesterday.

I don't kow why.

Any help welcome, thanks.

By the way, thanks very much for the dev.
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
Yes. I confirm
[Android Apps and Games] gb2b:

[Android Apps and Games] H7p3r10n:
Hi,

I store all my music in OPUS format. Any chances to have the option to download OPUS YouTube content without MP3 transcoding?
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
This app won't do that. Use NewPipe, it has all the streams available for download.
[Android Apps and Games] H7p3r10n:
Hi,

Please could you add an intent URI to the YT Music (beta) screen (UI).

This way it would be possible to start the YT Music UI directly from a shortcut.

This kind :

com.kapp.youtube.ui.YTMUSICUI

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] H7p3r10n:
Please could you make the "My Subscriptions" screen show the subscribed channels rather than a useless random list of videos from subscribed channels ?

regards
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
There are almost huge no of feature requests related to YouTube video player UI being asked here & dev had no intention of coding them.

Dev's only one person & it's closed source too. So you shouldn't expect anything from him.

How to close and exit this app? I press pause but it plays right after i pause. I also force close it but it resart it self within few seconds. The only way to tunr it of is turn Bluetooth off or restart phone.
[Android Apps and Games] spanky310:
Hi is there a way to STOP Ymusic from playing some random video when the video I'm listening to is finished?

Its so obnoxious to just play some random crap when all I wanted is for it to STOP!

Sorry for the rant but I'm so fed up with this and cant seem to find a way for stop that in settings or anywhere in the app.

Anyone knows how to stop this behavior please share.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
That's a common problem if you wanna use a music centric application as a youtube alternative.

YMusic bydefault makes a playlist of 25 items based on recommendations when you click a video. You can fix this by video menu > "Play Single".

I wish ymusic was open source.
[Android Apps and Games] spanky310:
Thanks for the reply, I looked and looked but I can't find the "Video" menu, can you give me more information on where to get to the "Video" Menu so I can turn on the "Play Single" option?

Thanks again!!!
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
I didn't mean it's a setting. It's a 3 dot button on literally every video.😂
[Android Apps and Games] spanky310:
Ah got it, thanks again my friend. :D
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
Sponsorblock seems to exist for namesake. @khangneovip you've made your own mirror database & locked to it instead of using official sponsorblock database. This is completely forceful & horrible.

It's better to disable it completely than using your own mirror. Atleast give us an option to use official database dude.
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
Just wanted to take a note here that YMusic flawlessly works with YouTube ReVanced.

You get a direct download Button in the bottom right of a video, which directly links to Y-Music when you put the package name in the ReVanced settings (com.kapp.youtube.final).

Best greets ✌🏿
[Android Apps and Games] badabing2003:
Thanks

Where do you see the setting to enter the package name?

Does ymusic takes the same bandwidth as playing a YouTube video? Or it takes less, since its only playing audio?
[Android Apps and Games] MasterGamer1:
Suggestion feature request

Description:

Add an option to select which audio quality e.g. (48kbps, 128kbps, 320kbps, etc) will be used for playing a video in background

Why do you want this feature?

Helpful for saving data or playing audio in poor network speed conditions.
[Android Apps and Games] rixse:
I hope that the developer releases a compatible version of ymusic for pixel pro 7.
[Android Apps and Games] cyclops13:
Yes I sure do! I've been looking forward to it.
[Android Apps and Games] Zoli1972:
Hi,

On the first page of this thread there is a claim, that YMusic is able to download audio selecting the *.opus format. But on alsmost all cases I didn't get the option to download the *.opus stream. Why not? Almost all files on YT also have the *.opus stream in their stream list.

[Android Apps and Games] emperorsuresh:
Hi,

Hoping to see a 64-bit version of YMusic that is Pixel 7-compatible. 😍

Also, the app fails to load on the 2022 Fire HD 7, even though it installs successfully. Any ideas/workarounds?

Hi guys.

I changed my phone. Do you have an idea how can I use again YMusic Premium on Huawei, without a Google Play? I have a GBox and Gspace. And through them I download applications from Google play.

So... On my new Huawei phone I downloaded again YMusic from their website and "Support Development" from Google play, though GBox. Ymusic works great, but the free version… Unfortunately "Support Development" it doesn't work and I still have ads on YMusic.

Is there a solution to this problem? I tried to contact the developers via email and through their Facebook page but they never answered me...

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] successlieswithme:
Hello, To dev....i have a request.

Is there a way to just skip subtitle mixing? I don't use subtitles, so I have to manually stop the process for every download. I'd personally rather have an option to just ignore anything subtitle related, so that when the video itself is finished downloading, it ust moves straight to the finished tab. If it's already an option, could someone tell me where to find it? Thanks!

Is there a bugtracker for ymusic? I reported a bug a number of times through the function in the app but I do not know if someone received or read it at all.

It's a great app, by the way. Ideal for hearing podcasts with the screen off. The function to skip silence and raising the speed stepless are the second best features.
[Android Apps and Games] Gavons:
Thanks again dev for fixing the network bug! I tipped you a coffee a week or two ago.

I had no lost progress since that time, which is great, since it was awful and infuriating.

So thanks for fixing that.

If you consider the next options to do I would like to see some function that allows restricting the bandwidth. I do mindless work outside for 2 hours a day and while at it I run playlists. The issue is that my mobile internet gets drained rather quick once I also use video. When the videos are long it's fine, you set up the resolution and that's it for the video. But if the videos are short, like 30 minutes (shrinked down to 10-15 mins with the app) then the resolution sets back to automatic with every new video. And automatic tries to draw the best resolution possible.

So it is a lot of clicking to save bandwith. Not even possible with shorts.

Some way to fix the bandwidth usage, at least for mobile internet, would be great.

Thanks in any case for this app!

[Android Apps and Games] profeet2:
Hi all,

Question about bug reporting - how can I do that?

Is author reading this topic?

I'm using ymusic in my car's HU and I faced issue with video playback.

Video is freezing (looks like fps is sinking).

Reproduced only on HU with Android 4.4.2

Steps:

1 Settings>Playback>Play Video by default - on

2 Start playing any video>click on camera button> Auto is enabled

Video is freezing

3 But when I choosing any quality for video from bottom part of the list (attached screenshot highlighted in green)

Video playback is working perfect

4 Choosing any quality for video from upper part of the list (attached screenshot highlighted in red)

Video is freezing again

I guess 'Auto' select quality only from upper part of the list and it doesn't save selected quality if I choose bottom part of the list

It works nice on previous 3.7.xx version and was broken on 3.8.xx
[Android Apps and Games] Gavons:
@profeet2 you can send a bug report out of the app. It will be sent via your email app then. And the dev is reading the reports. I once received a push message from the dev thanking me about the reports about the network bug. :D

[Android Apps and Games] zhilenius:
Ive had the same problem this past few days...I think ive found the problem. It apears its the problem with the YTbeta login....

1. uninstaled app and instaled it again loged in in YTbeta....same problem persists..

2. Uninstaled instaled older version, upadated. YTbeta loged in...same problem

3. Uninstaled app. Instaled old version. This time no login....music plays....

4. Updated to newest version. NO YTbeta login....stil playing...no problem.

Hope this helps

YT made some changes in ad placement so I ges it forbids 3rd party programs for streaming...

Maybe just try to logout from YT beta...let me know if that works.
[Android Apps and Games] gv1dlux:
It worked, it's insane how you figured that out. I wasn't even aware I was logged into YT beta, haha. Thx so much
[Android Apps and Games] zhilenius:
Ive tried, instaling the latest version and loging in the beta...got 403.. so Ive uninstaled it...than ive instaled it again a few times and it keeped me loged in in beta...that was strange...so ive repeted instalin older version and updating it in app...and it plays with no problem...just dont log in the beta...just loging out does not work...
[Android Apps and Games] gv1dlux:
Yeah, I noticed that the mod and yt music go hand in hand so there's no way to just log out of yt music beta without logging out of your YouTube account on the actual mod

Is there no way to stay logged into your YouTube account while staying logged out of yt music? Or am I just using a too current version of ymusic?
[Android Apps and Games] zhilenius:
Well...I dont know...and dont want to experiment while this thing now works...its best to wait for a patched version...I hope the devs find this thread

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aachenvalentin:
Hello everyone!

I’m a new user of this forum and not perfectly sure if I posted this in the right section. Please tell me, if it isn’t the case.

Some days ago, I formatted my Class 10, 32 GB external micro SD-Card to become part of the internal storage of my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195, Android Version 6.0.1, rooted, CyanogenMod Version 13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT…, Kernel Version 3.4.0-cyanogemnod). Some of the apps I use (such as Spotify or WhatsApp) now store data on the (formatted) external SD-Card, which is perfectly fine. The problem is, that every time I reboot my phone, all of this data is no more accessible to the apps. So WhatsApp tells me that it can’t find pictures I received and was able to look at before rebooting my phone. Spotify downloads all my music again, as if it wasn’t there. Some other apps, such as an offline map app I use, are missing downloaded cards and so on.

This already is annoying, but additionally, the storage left (as stated in the settings) gets smaller with every time this process begins again. So it seems the data is perhaps not actually wiped, but the apps just don’t have access to them after a reboot.

I hope there is someone who knows a possible solution to this.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I purchased my S7 from UK recently but am based in Singapore. Is there anyway to get Samsung Pay on it?

I have a local Singapore Bank account and can use it with the Samsung Pay as I understand the Samsung Pay is tied to local bank accounts. I wish to do so without tripping Knox (no root to do it - as i might utlize warranty when i visit UK occasionally), and apparently getting the Samsung Pay download can be via changing the CSC. How would one go about doing it?

Also, will changing the CSC via Odin trip Knox?

Thanks!
