Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

new Music Library App called Airbuds came out and my buddy eric wants to be a bitch about why my stuff doesn't show up on it since YTM doesn't have native support with it cus YouTube won't let them use their API for some reason

Proposed Solution

Contact the staff and offer a "solution" that makes it so that while the 1st party app doesn't have support, the 3rd party one does. Their email is hello@airbuds.fm and godspeed if y'all can find a compromise.

Alternatives Considered

I know this has support with last.fm but my dumass friend doesn't care at all, trust me, I tried and he said he's rather find a job than use last.fm

Additional Information

No response

Interesting find!

Dunno about the others, but I'd prefer to keep my conversations on GitHub, could you email them and link this issue in your email?

Btw, using the Musixmatch API we can map a YouTube song to a Spotify song, so even if they don't want to support YouTube in their code, if they expose a way to submit Spotify IDs it could still work.

From what I know- there isn't even an API for this.
Airbuds leverages the Spotify Connect API, as Spotify syncs playback live to every client using Connect- YouTube music (sadly) does not let you control other clients remotely or even view status. I think it might even be better if Airbuds had lastfm support, as that would mean the official android app would work if you put a scrobbler like Pano on your phone :)

youtube does have an API like that, but I don't think it's easy to access
iirc a few months ago I had the option to resume my session on my phone, a session I had started on pc

it might have been a yt experiment or smth

i have noticed sometimes it does recover sessions- but ive found the reliability to be low, and it ends up picking what i was last listening on the phone

Mayhaps (for androids) you have an Android app that pulls your current listening from the system media player, cross checks it with the Musixmatch API and somehow conveys or emulates the api of another app. Then connect Airbuds to that account. Could also have it exclude certain apps by the user's choice (like YouTube and other social media app where you would be viewing videos).... Idk I started typing and it turned into a mess.
