youtube music streaming
Answered
Dear,
I enjoy the youtube music streaming service a lot because of their great recommendation algorithms. It makes me really enjoy my setup.
Currenlty I'm streaming via bluetooth. From a quality perspective, I'd prefer to cut out the bluetooth from the streaming chain and stream yt music directy via my node.
Can you please add youtube music to the 'Music Services' section ?
thx in advance,
-Joost

Google always seems to have the best algorithms. An issue I keep running into with Youtube Music is lack of support on most streaming devices. I am going to buy one soon and hope Bluesound will state their plans on this matter.

I am not interested in using Bluetooth. I use BlueSound by loading up a playlist on an app and walking by and hitting play or pause on the unit. And sometimes via remote. If I used my phone, I would have to turn on bluetooth, pair it with BlueSound, then go into the app each time. If I wanted a Bluetooth speaker, I wouldn't be paying a premium for BlueSound

I have invested heavily in a Bluesound components at my house, but find that the bluetooth connection from my cellphone, as suggested, a lousy way of streaming music from youtube music to the Bluesound system. One pays a premium price for good quality music - almost audiophile - and then one has to downscale because of inadequate development in the Bluesound side. Google is far superior in regard to AI en personal music preferances, I have used Spotify, Amazon, Quboz and TIDAL and YouTube Music is far superior to all the mentioned names.... Come on BlueOS, when will you come with an adequate solution?

Plus one for YT Music support... bluesound? Anyone?

Hey Luc - your suggestion is a fine workaround (thanks for sharing your experience), but not a solution. I've lost hope that Bluesound is going to implement any native support for YouTube Music or Chromecast. If the Chromecast Audio that I have attached ever stops working, I'll have to look for a Bluesound replacement. I appreciate the heads up from Andrew about WiiM.

Not to be contrarian, but I actually had to permanently turn off bluetooth this weekend because a neighbor in my apartment building successfully connected to my PowerNode 2i well after midnight and blasted some awful music through my living room stereo. Could have damaged my speakers and sub.
So native integration for YouTube Music would be greatly appreciated.3 -
Same here.BluOS should support youtube music. I've held off making a purchase because of this.

Waiting for OVER A YEAR for this is getting very, very old. Please stay on the right side of the curve, Bluesound.

Would be nice to have support for YouTube Music - not to be confused with regular YouTube. This is a competitive service to Spotify, Apple Music, etc. I'm going to have to return my Node now, as I'm actually shocked this isn't supported, and I'm not willing to switch music providers considering I'm getting YouTube Music as part of a premium family plan. Thanks.

Three years have passed since this request was initially created, and this is still a feature request. WTF?

Bitte teilen Sie uns mit wann Sie YouTube hinzufügen? Wann erfolgt das Update? Besten Dank.

Please let us know when you add YouTube? When will the update take place? Thank you very much.

Hello Tony W.
3 years ago your answer was "it has been passed along for future consideration..." The future is now. YouTube music is part of this future. We customers like to now when you will see the light. Wake up and make this possible!3 -
There isn't a single app that I use on BlueSound. YouTube music is the only service I subscribe to, so it kind of sucks...can you please prioritize on this app?

I placed an order for an additional node and a pulse speaker to replace my Sonos crap. Decided to cancel my order since, even though Sonos annoys me quite a bit, I realized that supporting YouTube music is too big of a selling point. I may reconsider if BlueSound were to support it

Yes an answer from Bluesound would be nice. SONOS supports YouTube Music after all: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3259?language=en_US

Give it another 6 years. They are “passing it along.” I guess only other streamers can do it.

Is there any development on the Bluesound? I agree with Stan: I own my Bluesound for 5 years now and did not see any major streaming service added to the ecosystem (SoundCloud, MixCloud, Youtube, BBC, ...).
What are the future plans? Is there any roadmap?

+1 for YouTube music

JohanN, dont get any hopes that this will ever happen.
Even basic requests are not added (even though they kinda promise it), bugs are not fixed and are ignored.

They will loose more and more customer support and at the end Google will take over with their Google NEST option or further integration into other better amplified speaker builders.....If you SNOOZE, YOU LOOSE....

For over a year now I listen to YouTube Music, and all music from any source, including my own music collection, on my Bluesound system. You can do that too, and I'll tell you how. Bluesound supports "Airplay 2", an Apple application for casting (audio & video). However, there are multiple apps for Windows (PC) and Android that support Airplay. It took me several months to find the best solution and get everything to work properly, but the result is a perfect stream without any interference and without any loss (no Bluetooth).
For the PC/windows I ended up with "Tuneblade", which finally I installed on an older laptop, that became by then my casting device. Since I was very satisfied with the result, I paid $5 (!) for registration. A few months later I had found a perfect solution for Android called "Airmusic". Both applications can detect your sound system, in my case two Bluesound Pulse Mini and one Bluesound node, and send the signal to it. Note that these applications make a WiFi connection, they do not send an audio signal, so there is no loss of quality. (Audio quality isn't the main concern when listening to YouTube Music, but it is important when listening to your own collection. As most everyone here on this forum agrees, YTM excels through its algorithm, in no time picking up the music that you, I, each of us with our own preferences, will probably like). For those who are interested: Airmusic also detects devices connected to Chromecast. After seeing that everything was working fine, I also registered this software for only $9.95.
While it may seem like it’s just a matter of installing the right applications, it took me several months to get it all working properly. Just to give you a tip: you have to adjust the volume on the Bluos software beforehand (if you've solved it to your satisfaction, you can close that old-boiled looking program), after which you can adjust it further with both casting applications.
I wonder if the folks at Bluesound don't know these solutions (or any others, as there are more). They could at least suggest this on this forum, but it would be even better if they offered something like this integrated into their software (which urgently asks for an new look and feel). Doing nothing of that nature appears to me like a some kind of bad will...

Thanks Tony! But is this a final decision not to include Youtube Music native integration because bluetooth works fine? I am an android user, so AirPlay is not an option for me, maybe chromecast would be better, but it's a different topic.
Would you consider to add native support in the future?1 -
I have been very disappointed with Bluesound since 2020, when I purchased a NAD M17 V2. YouTube Music, Pandora and SoundCloud were not and still not available through Bluesound. I have read many requests for these streaming services to be added. However, Bluesound does not appear to be concerned about customer satisfaction. My Sonos streamer has everyone that I have ever searched for, and it does not make you jump through hoops trying to connect to those services. Bluesound is a big disappointment!

Reviving old topic because why not. I assume there is no progress on it and there won't be any progress.
Company does not care about their customers. Same as here:

Hello @Ash Cheng
People have been asking for Youtube Music here for years but no sign of progress in that direction yet...
When selecting your amp, make sure the Multi-room works in both ways. I have a NAD v758 v3i and cannot stream my TV sound to my Bluesound Powernode. Those are the things you only discover after purchase ;-)

After waiting for 4+ years for YouTube Music to be added to the Node, I'm completely frustrated. How come the Cambridge streamers can do it but not Blusound? Questions about the Wiim Pro plus; how does it integrate with Roon? I also have a Nucleus at home (alongside the Node). Does the Nucleus recognize it as an endpoint and do they play well together? Do I need to buy TWO of them to cover my two rooms, as I have two Nodes. Finally, is it worth it? Or...????
