Google to pull plug on Play Music, its streaming service that couldn't beat Spotify, in favour of YouTube Music

Re: Disabled person

Cool. The Mini did always play some random rubbish off of YouTube when one of the uploaded tracks (which had been played about 3000 times) suddenly stopped working and had to be deleted and re-uploaded. Maybe I'll delete everything, upload them on YouTube music, and see if it "just works" (TM)

Cheers for the reply!

Yes indeed, already have a house full of PIs running Kodi or PiHole. Thanks very much for the tips!

Disabled person

Hi,

I found that uploading real CDs (remember them?) of quite obscure sounds (Bhuddist chant, Native American, birdsong etc) onto Google Play Music allows my disabled mother to talk to the mni Google home speaker thingummybob to play, repeat, change volume etc. "Hey Google, play mum's birdsong" "OK, here's your Google Play playlist called Mum's Birdsong". So now I need a voice controlled speaker that will do the same thing on the LAN.
