Everyday things we have now, that we didn't when we started posting

I don't know too much about connectivity with other apps and services but I just find myself aversive to YouTube for Music because I don't know what it would feel like to navigate through when I connect to my car. If my music is in a playlist, Android Auto likely won't allow YouTube Red to play audio because YouTube is still a video streaming app before it's a music app. There may be a workaround but I don't think Android or Apple Car/Auto allow YouTube to be streamed out of the box.
We have two cars with Car/Auto capabilities and so it's a big deal for me when I'm driving them.
I think what Spotify does right is that it actually feels more like a straight-up legit music player. I think it was the first one that really made it feel simply like your phone had 35 million high-quality songs on it, and Spotify was just playing them. The free tier is also cool, as you can listen to everything, just with an ad every 30 minutes and a limited amount of song skips allowed when going through a playlist.
Listening to the music on Youtube just feels wrong somehow, as it doesn't feel like it's made for music. The convenience isn't there, and I'm just somehow used to the fact that going to Youtube for music is going for those obscure, low-quality community uploads of niche songs. For proper listening, it's like buying furniture at the grocery store kind of feel.

"On November 20, 2013, AOL announced that on December 20, 2013, it would shut down Winamp.com, and the software would no longer be available for download, nor supported by the company after that date.[67] The following day, an unofficial report surfaced that Microsoft was in talks with AOL to acquire Nullsoft.[71][72] Despite AOL's announcement, the Winamp site was not shut down as planned, and on January 14, 2014, it was officially announced that Belgian online radio aggregator Radionomy had bought the Nullsoft brand, which includes Winamp and SHOUTcast. No financial details were publicly announced.[73][74] However, TechCrunch has reported that the sale of Winamp and Shoutcast is worth between $5 and $10 million, with AOL taking a 12% stake (a financial, not strategic, investment) in Radionomy in the process.[75]
Radionomy relaunched the Winamp website and it was available for download again. Despite the website claiming that Winamp will be returning soon, as of 2018 no new stable version has been developed since version 5.666 from November 2013. In December 2015, Vivendi bought a majority stake in Radionomy.[76] The only change has been a new logo introduced in 2017."
Whoever was in charge of Winamp was horrible at business. Back in the day everyone used it, and selling it for 5 million 10 years after it's prime sounds like the worst thing one can do.
