(Youtube) YT Music Service - Like button missing (Thumb up/down)

Dear Sonos-Team,

I am in transitioning from Google Play Music (GPM) to YT Music, since GPM will be discontinued, soon. Since you support YT Music for quite a while I’d like to know if there are plans to put the implementation on par with the GPM implementation?

In general it works OK, but since the music suggestion algorithm relies on the song like (thumb up) functionality, it would be great to have this feature for YT Music. (Since supported for GPM)

Thanks for your support!

Regards
Jens

Right, but shouldn't SONOS be reaching out to YouTube to bridge this gap for its customers? I'm thinking of selling my sonos speakers and buying something that allows me to stream general Bluetooth because I cant fully utilize my YouTube music through your glitchy user interface. Searching is clunky, and I cant like any track or add it to my YouTube Playlist.

SONOS needs to bridge the SONOS/YTMusic API gap for its customers.

Sonos support ~70 different music services, they can’t be expected to nanny all of them into implementing the various optional features. Plus Google have shown zero interest in any bug fixes or improvements to their YTM SMAPI service since its release, they really do not care about Sonos support for their service.

And frankly, YouTube Music is much more likely to listen to a paying subscriber than they are to Sonos. YTM neither pays money to, nor receives any money from Sonos.
