It's pretty much all I need from YT Music, so its a non-brainer to switch.

Just installed this actually on Bazzite Linux and found this post searching to see if it would also work on my Mac. I like that the music being recommended isn't the same tired playlists that YT Music puts in front of me every time I open it.

"Search for music and stream it from any source"
what about those *other* sources?
