Trying YouTube premium now and I would probably continue to pay after this trial period if it wasn’t for the terrible audio quality.

Some things sound ok, while others are encoded with some painful loss of fidelity. It is like it is 1999 again and you try to encode MP3 at 112 kbit/s to squeeze a full album into your 64 MB player, that bad.

I read somewhere that it uses Youtube as the source material and reencodes that instead of sourcing it properly as in Google Music.
