I don't even like using Spotify or Pandora, it's full of ads and I can't play what I want to play. I just go to YouTube or download what I want. Their structure sucks.

Spotify doesn't really have ads. Only the horrible free plan does and you are obviously not supposed to use it. It's designed to be as bad as possible to make people switch.

While YouTube is alright for music it's very inconvenient compared to Spotify. The same multiplied by 100x applies to downloading all your music.

YouTube music is actually very good.

But you need a subscription... And unless you also use a lot of YouTube and would benefit from a lack of ads it's not very good value.

I'm not into too much music, but whenever I do want to listen to some, I open a YouTube music client which is more than enough for my needs. they don't require subscription, or are ads-riddled.
