YouTube Music Rolling Out to WiiM Devices

​

We’re excited to share that YouTube Music has started rolling out this month to WiiM devices, beginning with Ultra and Amp Ultra. A YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium subscription is required for this integration, which brings access to over 100 million official tracks, curated playlists, remixes, live performances, and fan favorites directly to your WiiM streamers and streaming amplifiers.

Which devices are supported?​

YouTube Music will be available on:

• WiiM streamers: Pro, Pro Plus, Ultra (excluding the WiiM Mini)
• WiiM amplifiers: Amp, Amp Pro, and Amp Ultra
• WiiM CI MOD S and CI MOD A80
• WiiM Edition Audio Pro will receive YouTube Music in a future update
  Please note YouTube Music is not available for WiiM Mini due to hardware limitations.

​

How it works​

Just like with other streaming services, you'll control YouTube Music through the WiiM Home app directly. The integration works seamlessly with all the features you already use - voice control, EQ settings, stereo pairing, WiiM remotes, and room grouping.

Getting started​

Make sure you're running the latest version of the WiiM Home app and that your device firmware is up to date. YouTube Music is rolling out to WiiM devices over the next few weeks, so if you don’t see it available yet, just give it some time. YouTube Music will appear in your list of available streaming services. Just add your YouTube Music Premium account to your WiiM device, and you’re ready to rock! Please note that a YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium subscription is required.

This partnership gives you access to YouTube Music's massive catalog, including those hard-to-find live versions and remixes that make the platform unique. And as always, you get WiiM's quality and flexible connectivity options.

Thanks to everyone who's been requesting this integration. We heard you, and we're thrilled to make it happen.

Happy listening!

wonder if that is good or bad. if my music would be a benchmark my answer would be clear

I was feeling a little self conscious as I took screenshots of my app had to make sure to hide some of the most embarrassing stuff I could.

Now do Apple or is that simply a stream too far?
Cheers

Well, there's no point in continuing this discussion here, since we're only dealing with WiiM believers or dealers anyway. I had been hoping for a long time for this announced integration for existing devices, and unfortunately I was disappointed. YouTube Music Premium is only available for WiiM Premium devices. Since the included charger “LOL” has already given up the ghost, it probably won't be long before the device itself does too. Then it's time to say goodbye, because as they say in Germany, “There are plenty of other fish in the sea.”

Goodbye…

Much discussed but not happening.

Excluding Mini, really?? Sorry, I've been waiting here for months for YTM support because it was announced, and now this exception. I hope it's just a typo. I'm wondering what hardware limitations those could be?

WiiM Pro is €179 which isn't a lot for some. Being charitable, I would gift the Mini to a friend or relative to give them a nice experience and it gives a second life to the device.

Thats not tue, you are guilty of overgeneralizing to fit your agenda.

YouTube Music Premium is only available for WiiM Premium devices.

It's much more accurate to say it is available for all but the hardware resource challenged Mini model, no?

“There are plenty of other fish in the sea.”

Good luck finding something as feature packed and inexpensive, it won't be that easy.

Sonos is about the only alternative I can come up with, and it’s WAY more expensive than a Mini, not to mention their downright dumb policies over the past few years (hopefully improving with a new CEO).

Sonos is a speaker system. A single unit isn't that much more these days. A better alternative might be to use a tablet/phone to Bluetooth speaker(s).

The Sonos Port isn’t a speaker. It’s a $450 alternative to a WiiM streamer. As @Mike in NY said above, it won’t be easy to find an alternative as feature packed and inexpensive.

I had to jump in and say thank you to the Wiim team on YT Music! This is an awesome addition, and one i am super excited about! I love how Wiim listens to their customers. Keep it up!

I have a problem with this functionality (YT Music). I logged in, I see the content, but when I try to stream, I see the loader of the material for a few seconds and it doesn't play. It happens with all the content.

Same exact issue here, I'm on Android, both app and firmware are up to date, logged in with my YT premium account, but when I click a track, there's 3 dots that indicate loading for like 5 sec, but then nothing happens - Tidal works flawlessly as usual

 

[Erebus]

it doesn't play

Probably best to submit a ticket from the WiiM Home App, which I assume you've updated to the latest version? v3.3.1

I'd forgotten about the Port. A poor substitute for the Wiim pro

Yeah, just about to post the same for my iPad. Ticket submitted - you should do the same. Hopefully it’s just a backend glitch

They wouldn’t see YTM unless they had updated

 

[Erebus]

Wasn't aware of that. Thank you.

 

[Wiimer]

Am I the only one who is able to successfully play YTM at the moment?

 

[Burnside]

Ethan replied to my ticket to say they made some updates to their cloud servers and it’s now playing ok for me, but unfortunately just at 129kbps
