.Artist variety on a created station sucks compared to google play
.After awhile, it just picks some other artist to dominate a station you created with a totally different artist.

i cited similar issues with these types of things in the past (esp. about the live/different versions of songs you would expect) and tigerwise mocked me.

oh and if use the 'workaround' and go through my sonos app to get to YT music...? after eventually finding my way to my uploaded music (which is BURIED in YT music meaning they are paying lip service to the personal music upload and plan to kill it) it hangs up scrolling through my artists on "A".

yes, that is correct. apparently i have too many artists for the sonos work-arond so i can't play any artist who's name begins with B-Z.

SAD.

if you have any doubt google is sunsetting the ability to upload your own music, consider they took away the desktop music manager app (gone! cant even log in now) and replaced it with 'drag your music into this browser window'

you ever try dragging 10s of thousands of tracks in a folder onto a browser window and expecting that to work?

within the first 50 albums YT music already rejected about 20 tracks...ones that i will point out uploaded to google music without any trouble.

so yeah, frick google. this is a clusterfrick and the 'new reality' is plex is the last hope for my personal music library and plex sucks for streaming music unless you're doing it on your local network.
