Am I the only one out there who listens to a lot of their music almost exclusively through YouTube?
There is a lot to dislike about YouTube and how it handles music, but when it comes to instantly finding music that I want and without no restrictions on playback, YouTube works wonderfully well (at least, for me)
YouTube is definitely my first stop when I want to check out some new-to-me music that my friends have been raving about. It's my new, on-demand version of MTV.
I dislike what often happens if I add something to a playlist for future listening, however -- videos disappear, for a multitude of reasons. I have several genre-specific playlists I've curated that require regular maintenance because of this, and I can't always find alternatives for stuff that's gone offline. It's frustrating.
I also rely on youtube a good amount of the time. My main problem is that I mostly listen to electronic music that often can't be found on amazon (and I haven't ever really liked iTunes, much less bought anything on it).
If DI.fm had some way to purchase the song that was currently playing/recently played, I'd probably rely on youtube a lot less, but I don't see something like that happening anytime soon.
