I am starting week 2 as a #Xoogler. I'm a prolific #BugFiler even for companies I don't work for, so after I file an alphabet app bug via #InApp #SendFeedback I planned to post somewhere else.

I posted this post originally to:
mastodon.social/@mathiastck/10…

Last month I would've posted this bug to my currents page:

Google Currents - Wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cu…

or a #chats space visible to all alphabet.

Anyway, on @YouTube I filed via:

Clicking top Right Profile icon on home page
Clicking #HelpAndFeedback
Clicking #SendFeedback

"The 5k max on the #watchLater #playlist is horribly inconvenient for me. It also hurts that the functionality to copy a playlist into another playlist doesn't work with Watch Later. I assumed things got removed from Watch Later if you watched them." @youtubemusic

I had used @pandoramusic as my main music app for decades, and it is still my favorite for background music, but I do love #YoutubeMusic for new songs, music videos, and playing a specific song. I am on a family plan for #YouTubePremium which makes it very affordable.

I have also been using #SoundSearch from the main #GoogleSearch app, it effectively replaced the @Shazam app which has become much less useful to me since @Apple bought them in 2018. It used to help me find a related @YouTube video but it now seems stuck in #ApplesEcosystem.

apple.com/newsroom/2018/…
"@Apple acquires @Shazam , offering more ways to discover and enjoy music
Apple today announced it has completed the acquisition of Shazam, one of the most popular and highly-rated music apps, used by millions worldwide."

So a song at a time I'd grab a song I was listening to on Pandora to import it to YouTube. Like just now @Google's sound search found:

#ChurchOfTheFallingRain by the @stonecoyotes

g.co/kgs/Z44HLo

Which can quickly take me to:

A video link:


Or a music link:


And then I could add it to my curated playlists if I knew I liked it, or more easily and more often I would add it to my #WatchLater.

That was great until I recently hit the #5kLimit all #YouTubePlaylists have:

webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/7779…

after which it returns

"
Playlist contains maximum number of items.
"

Behavior is different for the various YouTube services, music, web, tv, etc.

I'm also in a situation where I cluttered my UI by adding #otherPeoplesPlaylists that have somehow have the same priority as the ones I regularly use. Part of the problem may be from importing/sharing/collaborating on playlists I shared to myself from #oldYouTubeAccounts.

I would definitely appreciate it if I could #sortPlaylists by #mostUsed. They seem to be be sorted by most recent or alphabetical. It's easier when adding to a playlists because it only shows playlists you are a collaborater on, but it's then hard to find the playlist to listen.
