Props to the person or people who are developing this. It’s something YouTube themselves should have done.

Exactly. There is no excuse for Youtube Music being as shit as it is. Why does Google half-ass this so much?

I had a small laught when seeing that the UI is basically Spotify. Listening to YT music "via Spotify" is such a delightful thought.

But I will probably try it out. The YTM web interface runs like ass on my laptop (Takes about 3 seconds just to skip to the next song), so this might make the UI usable by just plain replacing it.

Why does it have to look like Spotify though? Why not make something better than both platforms?

Personally it made me nostalgic since I left spotify a few years ago and I long for those summer nights listening to my playlists while writing and reading.

Why mean that is a federated music player?

Never mind, it means that anyone can host their own instance.

I think your original question stands. Self-hosting != federation.
