1. Add YouTube Videos to Songs
If you like listening to live shows, covers, and etc., it is much easier for you to find your loved one on YouTube than on Spotify or other streaming platforms. YouTube Music also allows you to browse videos and add them to playlists for playing as songs or downloading. According to your most listened songs, you are more likely to find unpopular songs on YouTube than on Spotify.
