YouTube Music absurdities

If I request Schubert on my Nest Mini, PLEASE don't play some YouTube channel "based on the music of Franz Schubert" which actually sounds like bad imitation Chopin elevator music with limited skills. Just tell me you can't do anything I ask without getting more money. Pretending that musical pablum is Schubert is just an unforgiveable insult.

Hi imbroglioj,

Thanks for posting in the community and apologies for the late response. Let's sort this out.

Quick question; what is the exact command you are giving the Nest Mini? Could you try saying " Okay Google, play Schubert on Spotify"? Also, you can check out this link for more commands on how to control your music on the Nest Mini.

Keep me posted.

Best,

Nikki

Exact command: "hey Google, play Schubert." Adding the 'on Spotify' phrase gets me actual Schubert. My complaint about the YouTube Music response is not that Google wants more money to play an actual dead composer, but that it tries to deceive me with a bad substitute. Gave me that sleazy used-car salesman feeling.
