Why I Like Musi Better Then YouTube Music and Spotify

When I was looking for a music app for my phone there were three things that I wanted. 
  1. Free.
  2. Plays in the background.
  3. Plays select songs.
I wanted number one because I didn't want to pay for music, I'd rather spend my money on other things. I wanted it to play in the background to conserve my phone's batteries. With YouTube Music, it doesn't let you play in the background, and it ate up my phone battery much more quickly than pretty much everything else I did. Also, I really really hate it when I search for a song and tap on the one I want to play and it just gives me the ones that are similar, like on Spotify. I hated this so much I didn't use Spotify for more than a day or two before going back to YouTube Music, which again ate up my battery, so I started hunting the App Store for an alternative. I found it in an app called Musi. Musi is 100% free (Unless if you don't want ads then it's a measly one-time six-dollar payment). It basically plays YouTube videos through a music player, so if you have a YouTube account (And I mean who doesn't nowadays?) and a connection then you're all set to go. It allows you to search YouTube and add music videos to your library, which was slightly annoying. I spent about an hour and a half probably total adding my favorite tracks to my library. Annoyingly, it requires three taps to add just one song, which I think is definitely something that I think they should try to reduce, as it would probably cut music hunting time in half. After that, it's merely a matter of opening the app (It opens right up to your library) and hitting Shuffle Play. This button shuffles your entire library and starts playing the songs. I actually really like this because I rarely skip a song that I don't feel like listening to.
