Close your Chromebook, close the tab, or log out and your music stops. Casting a tab also stops playback when the device of origin shuts down. When I get notifications on my Chromebook, for instance, the volume on the cast speaker fluctuates so I can hear them. For one, when casting a tab, all sounds from that tab affect the session. How in the world, then, are we at this stage of the game and YouTube Music still exists without built-in Chromecast support on the web?Īnd before anyone starts to mention the ability to cast a tab in Chrome, realize that this comes with huge trade-offs over just building in the standard Chromecast API. Chromecast support is baked into YouTube on mobile, on the web and basically anywhere it lives. YouTube was one of the first Chromecast services. It doesn’t take much to connect the dots, here. I’m unsure how those behind the service can look at Chrome users with a straight face. I’m unsure how a music platform with YouTube in the name can exist without built-in Chromecast support.
CAST MUSIC FROM MY COMPUTER LIBRARY FULL
Yes, I’ve ranted about this before and now that the move to YouTube Music is in full swing, I’m ranting about it again. Well, except for one, nagging, silly, and entirely-avoidable pitfall: proper Chromecast support on the web. Count me in as one of the users who never saw anything wrong with Google Play Music, but also as one who knows that things transition and is mostly on board to give it a real try.
If you haven’t done so already or are unfamiliar, the massive migration effort has been officially underway for a few months now and many users have been eagerly awaiting their turn to swiftly move all their music from Google’s on-the-way-out music service to the new, much-maligned YouTube Music. You can check here if you want to see if your account is ready for transfer. I finally got the thumbs up to be one of the users that can successfully move my Google Play Music library over to YouTube Music with just one click.
