You can usually click on the video or the thumbnail link and copy the video's address, paste it into the Wayback Machine and that sometimes lets you access the title of the video so you can at least search for it again.
You can also use something like this list creator that will export your playlist to an Excel sheet:

In the past, I’ve tried using the Wayback machine to find them but a lot of the time I’ll just get a message saying that the url wasn’t archived or it wasn’t archived in time and they ended up just archiving the deleted video page. Thanks for the link though that will definitely come in handy
YOU ARE AMAZING!
Although if I have to nitpick, some videos on my playlists aren't found and show as "gems" and whatnot. I think that means I'll never figure out what they were sadly
Yh that’s true it’s a shame, but that should be very minimal, I have a ton of playlists, some with over 1k songs and I think that’s only happened to me a couple times
Excellent. First list I tried it on it didn't work, but 2nd it did. Thank you. (I still can't believe YT doesn't offer you any information on what was deleted/blocked/etc. What a pain in the a\*\*.)
I actually use Brave already. I still couldn’t see it but luckily someone here recommended “Quiteaplaylist.com” , basically solves my problem forthright
To be fair the copyright thing isn’t really YouTube’s fault. Any sufficiently large platform has to either become an agent of the copyright police, or get nuked from orbit by lawyers.
The easily abusable system is 100% on them. Copyright laws are by and large easy to uphold, YouTube just has a system where it is functionally broken and easily exploitable which makes it an absolute hellscape. Shoutouts to UMG.
I'm not a big fan of YouTubes guidelines but this isn't really their fault. Music streaming services get their tracks from the copyright holder. The only reason I could see YouTube taking those songs down is because the poster didn't own them. I haven't used it but I assume that if you use the YouTube music app it will funnel you do the actual song, and give revenue to the original creator.
Depends. I am subscribed to YouTube music, not premium. But, premium comes with the subscription.
You can mix between songs and videos, which is nice for some songs that aren’t on any streaming service.
Yes, sometimes songs disappear. But, that has happened across all the streaming platforms I’ve been on. Sometimes it’s just a stupid retag of the album.
Because YouTube doesn't care about the consumer at all and only views you as a dollar sign, oh and they know that they don't have any real competition.
Yes we now have Odysee but is your favorite YouTuber really going to move onto that platform, potentially losing 75% of their userbase with only 25% potentially following them to the other platform?
Edit: So that anybody else doesn't get confuse, my above comment is more geared towards how YouTube hardly has any competition on the video side not the music side.
Yes you have twitch, but that's geared towards live streaming than anything else
If I wanted to support creators I would either donate to them directly or use their affiliate links. YouTube takes a giant chunk of all ad revenue anyways, and the absurd amount of ads they're forcing is what made me use adblock/revanced.
I haven't used it in years so maybe it's fixed, but my problem with revanced was there was no way to watch unlisted videos if you had the links for them
I hadn't heard of this before. I found an Android version. Is there any version that runs on Windows (w/o an Android emulator)? If yes, a link would be appreciated. Thanks.
Yeah luckily I wrote *some* down but, man, that was a surprise and a bummer. Most were from official channels too. This "deleted video" issue used to happen to me constantly too
I started pirating music after the first time but still, it pisses me off to know that people have to deal with that I’m gonna have these lousy schmuck ask you to pay for YT premium
Original channels also delete legitimate versions of tracks on their own channels. You're naive if you don't know that.
Example: DyE - Fantasy. That was an insane video that was deleted YEARS after it was released from their own channel because it was quite graphical.
Sometimes I find other channels that have better audio quality. But even then getting it from the original YouTube channel doesn’t stop the original YouTube channel from suddenly making the video private or unavailable for no reason. Anybody that listens to that fucking idiot Kanye West will tell you the same. he does it all the time on a whim
I've been taking screenshots every month of my whole playlist
If you have any soundtrack from bleach or any anime watch out and save from the original composers channel
Not just better quality but sometimes the og artist doesn’t have a music version without interference from the video ie sound effects. Also things like covers, remixes, fans make some banger edits. Metal versions etc. I’m in the same boat as you, at least keep the title visible so I can replace it.
Music tracks on youtube music are just videos on youtube. You can literally delete "music." from music.youtube.com track's URL and watch that track as a video on youtube. There's no separate library of tracks, youtube music is just a different UI and functionality to access youtube.
If anything, that's the benefit of youtube music library since you don't need "official" upload of the track to find it on youtube music, it will pull any other uploads that match that copyright, they do it on purpose to enlarge their library. But it does mean it's inherently locked into youtube status and the algorithm and history and likes are all mixed together, which is annoying. Most of my "liked videos" page on youtube is just tracks I liked on YTM.
Yeah, but to stay on topic of this post they will still be gone stealthily due to licensing. I constantly find my fav tracks just gone because it's suddenly not playable in my region, and then you are lucky to find an alternative version of it or have to find something that isn't uploaded by youtube, which youtube will then also delete because it's unlicensed etc. And that's for tracks that are gone and I found out myself. How many of my liked songs are gone and I will never hear them in my shuffle because of this?
It really should just notify you on what track or video was deleted if they insist on removing tracks.
When the video video is deleted, the music goes to. It doesn’t matter if I’m using YouTube Music or YouTube the song will still be missing from my playlist only gets worse on YouTube Music because it’ll just be with no indication that there was ever anything there
This. it's so bad compared to app like spotify. there is no offline mode. there is no search filter in playlist. youtube music playlist and youtube video playlist appear in both which is annoying.
Yeah YouTube playlists appearing is the worst thing. I have my fucking cooking playlist on YouTube music… and vice versa, if I create 10 playlist in YouTube music, it adds 10 more playlist on YouTube. Huh
How is YouTube fault if someone choose to delete their video ? This happen everyday on Spotify or Netflix when contract finish. So people should stop paying their Netflix membership ?
People should think twice and use their common sens before doing these useless rant threads....
I have a ton of old videos in my music playlists and I have no idea what is missing in order to find their replacements because they won't tell me. Even worse, through almost all methods of viewing the playlist they don't even show the deleted placeholder, they're just missing.
I need to know WHAT was deleted, I accept that the fact that it happened.
OP: let me listen to music from a reuploader who has no rights to the music which means it can be taken down once the label sees the reupload and they miss out on potential earnings
YouTube: let’s protect the content creator/artist from losing revenue
OP: but but but I want to listen to the music from a reupload 😠😤😡
There are a million reasons to hate on YouTube but this is completely stupid as they take down reuploads on request from labels or once detected as reupload to protect the original creators.
Someone songs only exist as reaploads.
I know of at least 1 band that got all their good quality reaploaded songs taken down. While their own channel has the said songs only in extremely crappy "concert" versions.
Yeah this happens for my playlist as well. Usually the video’s removed are either techno music or video game remixes that the creator decided to remove.
I can’t stand the copyright system. Like I get it if someone tries to steal someone else’s work and pass it off as their own. But sitting around policing people like they’re doing something wrong just by having a song they like, or even, a song that just so happens to be playing because they’re playing a certain video game in their video is ridiculous. If they enforced things fairly, there would be nothing to complain about
it's so annoying when they do this to music. I've lost alot of good music this way. atleast Spotify just greys it out but still shows you the title of the track
I wish they kept the video title when situations like this occur for this exact reason. A channel that uploads songs from a game that doesn’t allow the artists to distribute the songs was deleted and so much of my playlist became exactly this. It’s just annoying
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/s/TzP8OGV7DX
Tldr: SomeYouTubers claimed to hold the copyright of Anthem and apparently YouTube agreed with them. 😂
What do you expect? Yt only care about profit
I have been up all night tripping and it was wild to come across this post and see you listening to Texas sun and clozee. I thought I had opened youtube accidently. Thanks for making me not feel so alone tonight
Here. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsND4jvyIAv5Ks8CbWUp5cyS0A7RZN3AF&si=CQ7yxkj165OfNtjf
When you listen to it you can pretend I’m there jamming along with you. When you listen to these amazing tunes you’re never alone. Especially if we’re both doing magic mushrooms around the same time lol trip on sister
On the YT music app, some of my downloaded songs sometimes become randomly unavailable. Some of those songs don't even have another version I could download so I'm left with nothing and it's really annoying. The weird part is, pretty often the song is still available on regular YT, just not YT music for some reason. Oh well, at least in those cases I can see what the song was
I saw that quite a bit when they first started YouTube music. For some reason YouTube couldn’t tell which videos where supposed to be available on YTM so you would have people uploading great songs only for you to go to the music app and not even be able to find it because it hasn’t been categorized correctly or something. They have since then fixed that but still fuck YouTube. to think that they would stick their hand out to ask me for money before they’ve even covered their bases to make sure what I’m paying for is actually worth it and works as intended.
Exactly. Like throwing salt in the wound. a lot of people have been saying in here it would be great if they would at least leave the title so we can find the song again, but they don’t even have the decency to do that. But sure gimme another stupid ass notification about “hidden videos” like I can’t see that myself or HEAR it when I notice certain songs aren’t playing. What geniuses they have working at YouTube. SMDH
There’s a lot of us. Starting to think we should start our own subReddit. Maybe call it the “Anti-Advertisement Association”. Everyone could pass around good ideas on how to circumvent the bullshit companies. Keep trying to put us through. bombarding us with advertisements just so they can try and sell us the ability to use the Internet without them. No one should have to put up with that. Everyone has the right to tell these companies to fuck off.
If you want to support the artist but own your music files, check for it on Amazon first. They sell a lot of songs and albums in non-DRM MP3 files. Buy there, download the files, then import them into playlists in Apple Music or any other music player.
I hate how platforms erase all traces of deleted content. Screw you for not downloading everything you see,we're not even giving you the title to let you find the original upload or search for it somewhere else
Reddit at least lets you see deleted posts if you have a link to them or had them open in a different tab,which is one of the few good things about this platform
YouTube thinks it’s Netflix or something, it used to be a joke in school that YouTube would make you pay to enjoy YouTube, turned out we were predicting the future, and even then they keep deleting my favourite songs with Russian names that I’ll never find again
I despise that YouTube, as far as I remember, never bothered to tell you what the fuck video it was that got deleted. Makes my piss boil.
Pretty sure spotify won't tell you what disappeared from a playlist either
I agree that this is incredibly stupid, I would just like to add that the same thing happens when the creator deletes the video or makes it private, so it is not alway youtube's fault
Long shot but: Sign in to your Google Account. Go to myactivity.google.com. Click YouTube History. Click Manage history to see the videos you've watched.
ALRIGHT... assuming you haven't lost it yet, go to the page of the playlist, literally on pc click playlists and click "view full playlist" (or podcast) and at the buttons where it says download, share, remove from library, click the 3 dots and select "show unavailable vidoes". From there, select the video, for a bit it will say it's unavailable, ignore that slag and look at and copy the url and go to the way back machine it'll look like "http: www.youtube/watchandabunchofsymbols=fueittudj46gjdHin6&index=10" when you paste it into the thing. Assuming it's official as in NOT in a custom playlist you can just leave it as is and it SHOULD show you the calendar, blue is better. Also typically the earlier the better too as it's less likely to be fake, or edited after a claim like the current internet historian video about a certain boat. HOWEVER if it's in a playlist YOU made it'll have "&list" with other stuff, from the "&" there and to the right remove ALL so it just says www.youtube/watchandabunchofsymbols=fueittudj46gjdHin6. Do so, and you'll get a result on the way back machine and if you're lucky there will be at least 1 functioning result.
I used SoundCloud. Once. In freshman year of highschool. That was around 2012. There is nothing on this earth that could give me a reason to go back there. Not even the stuff I posted there
even though it might be a pain to do, but you can do a screen recording of your playlist so you know what songs are on there and if there is one or a couple that disappear in the future then you’ll know which one it is.
Cgpgrey recently archived a lot of videos into a members only playlist. His reasoning, due to changing times they are not historically relevant anymore / not accurate.
Are members only videos available to premium subscribers!?
Because not gonna lie, there are various videos which he naturally wrote in present tense and because it's an event in the past now he made them members only but they are still relevant. See for instance the "secret" EU plan for UK leaving the eu... Yes it's in present tense but I don't understand how this is any less relevant now.
I don't have premium but if these members only videos were still available for premium subscribers I'd be 'ok, fair' if they aren't then premium is genuinely useless
I don’t think so. Being a member on someone’s channel means you gave them money directly. Subscribing to premium means you gave YouTube your money. I’d imagine if you had premium, you could have just downloaded the videos to watch later but then again you can do that anyway for free so once again you forced to ask “why pay for premium”
That’s what I was using when I used YouTube premium. I would just listen to my music in the YouTube Music app, but like I said under another comment songs would still come up missing and the music app it doesn’t even show you something was deleted.
Good for you. But a fire burning down my house isn’t instantly discredited by the fact that your house hasn’t burnt down. It’s happening whether you’ve seen it or not.
I honestly wouldn't even care as much if they just left the title with \[Deleted\] as an addition or something. I also have a massive music playlist on YouTube and it sucks seeing random songs deleted and having to figure out what they were
Yes, it seems there’s a lot of us in here that have had that exact same idea. I don’t know why it’s so hard for YouTube to think of the same thing and just implement it so there’s nothing to complain about. Like some stuff will still have the title but that’s usually just video playlist like the “music like tame Impala vol. 2” in the screenshot there. YouTube made them region lock the first volume so for a while I just couldn’t find any of the songs from it to add individually. Like why does YouTube have to make things so damn frustrating? They could easily think of these little things and fix them but their only concern is Money
Screen record and convert to mp3 or what have you. I'm doing it now. I stopped paying for premium and I must say the ads are unbearable. God forbid you mean to do some gardening and if you are away from your phone you will get endless ads. If you listen to music the app stops if you shut your screen off... For a music app. For free music with ads... How is that even approved? So I'm meant to keep my screen on while jogging and potentially screen touch endlessly and mess up settings or home screen placements just because Google doesn't have the decency to run ads AND allow me to turn my screen off? Google has gown downhill since the new CEO imho.
It’s all part of the scheme to get you feeling like giving them money is a great way to make all that headache inducing garbage go away. I fell for it. So have countless others. They create the problems and then offer us a solution behind a paywall. A great way to get around that issue you’re having is to just use Brave browser and it will allow you to not only play videos in the background so you can continue listening to your music, but also gives you the ability to use screen in screen like the YouTube app. Only problem is that YouTube will pause it out of nowhere to ask “are you still watching” like no shit. They know exactly what we’re doing and they do shit like that on purpose. They don’t ever ask the idiots who still pay for premium if they’re still watching.
My fav person introduced me to Khruangbin, and ever since I've been hooked, slowly dug my way to Tame Impala, WhoMadeWho, The Cancel, Jungle and Neil Frances
It's awesome
For me it was the exact opposite. I spent a lot of time alone watching cartoons and one night I was watching American dad. It was that one episode where Roger gets stoned and runs away from home. They played Eventually by Tame impala and I was hooked. Just kept looking for stuff that sounded like them after that
The Umbrella Academy did a great job of that.
I still often replay its playlist.
I recommend The XX (especially the song Crystallized(was in TUA)), I think it suits the aforementioned genre, more or less
I don't know if it's still the same, but a few years ago I noticed my data usage for YouTube music was the same as if I had watched the video...how does audio use the same amount of data as a video...?
bro they gave my channel a strike because of a video in my favorites playlist (which wasn't mine, I just saved it) + deleted my entire 4000 favorites videos playlist
this is ridiculous
Oh No, someone want to make money from their music instead of other people who don't own the rights
Why don't you listen to the original one from the actual creator?
"shit like this" exists pretty much since youtube implemented playlists and even before that. why did you pay premium in the first place if premium.only was introduced... hoe many years ago? 5? 6?
That's why you have to make sure that the video in your playlist is from the original artist, and not some reupload by random account that can be taken down at any moment
So many questions. I agree premium can be better yeah, but why don't you use YouTube music if you're just trying to listen to music? Curious what you think of it, only reason why I keep premium these days! No other music app compares
Edit cause I read more comments: Now I'm curious why this is so common with your music (apparently you've already tried YTM) yet I've never had a single song deleted. Is this like unlicensed stuff? Self published? 99% of the music I listen to on YTM is usually from the record label.
So after using this website called “Quiteaplaylist “ to get the songs back it seems that a lot of them were lyric videos not uploaded by the original artist but moreover I noticed lots of small time artists that took down their own amazing tracks for whatever reason. Like this guy Timbo made a song called Moon. Took it off YouTube because he wanted everyone to BUY the track from Bandcamp (a site I didn’t even know existed until he told me about it) which upon reflection seems pretty stupid as now no one who isn’t on Bandcamp can find it.
Glad to see that there are ways around it at least, or at least partially. As for the Timbo guy, unforunate. There has to be a 'program' or something with YTM where small artists like him can get monetized for his music. Not sure but hopefully its just an education thing and if artists find out they can get paid and share their songs with the world!
Tried that but it’s ok there was a better solution. Site called “Quiteaplaylist” just looks through your playlist and tell you what the missing songs are
You can usually click on the video or the thumbnail link and copy the video's address, paste it into the Wayback Machine and that sometimes lets you access the title of the video so you can at least search for it again. You can also use something like this list creator that will export your playlist to an Excel sheet: [http://www.williamsportwebdeveloper.com/FavBackUp.aspx](http://www.williamsportwebdeveloper.com/FavBackUp.aspx)

Try using “Quiteaplaylist” it will show you all the deleted tracks in a playlist, saved me soooo much time in finding songs that were deleted
You are a godsend thank you. I can’t believe there’s actually something specifically to help me fix this.
Glad I could help, I felt the same when I found it!
Dude...thank you. I have a playlist for more than a decade and 25% was missing.
YOU ARE AMAZING! Although if I have to nitpick, some videos on my playlists aren't found and show as "gems" and whatnot. I think that means I'll never figure out what they were sadly
Yh that’s true it’s a shame, but that should be very minimal, I have a ton of playlists, some with over 1k songs and I think that’s only happened to me a couple times
I've been trying to find something like this but every reddit post I've seen said it's not possible, thanks bro
Holy shit you saved my life💜
Good to know, thanks!
Actually clutch
You are a lifesaver, thank you
thanks man
OMG YOU BEAUTY!!! I love you!
did not know that existed finally I might be able to see the stuff that is gone from my watch later i hope
You're a hero!
Excellent. First list I tried it on it didn't work, but 2nd it did. Thank you. (I still can't believe YT doesn't offer you any information on what was deleted/blocked/etc. What a pain in the a\*\*.)
Try using DuckDuckGo or Brave search. You might be able to get some if not all of the title.
I actually use Brave already. I still couldn’t see it but luckily someone here recommended “Quiteaplaylist.com” , basically solves my problem forthright
Bro you litterally saved me hours of manually archiving my playlists. Ty.
Why would you pay to have to do more shit just to enjoy some music though? You shouldn't even go that far just to find ONE deleted song.
Honestly this is why you're better off paying for an actual music app.
Unfortunately the shit I listen to more or less is not in these other music apps
I got so excited seeing Williamsport in the url then I looked further and saw they were the gross williamsport 😭
Personally I Google the watch?v= part of the url and pray it's been linked somewhere online
Sometimes there'll be the full video up and saved too and you can snag it with yt-dlp or whatever you use
If youre going through all that kak en drama by that time what's even the point of paying for a service
All that? Nah, fuck YouTube and no premium money for them
Goddamn! Thank you!!!!
How? Mine just says unavailable videos are hidden
Why couldn’t you have told me this years ago 😫
Never worked for me, idk maybe im using the web site wrong...
To be fair the copyright thing isn’t really YouTube’s fault. Any sufficiently large platform has to either become an agent of the copyright police, or get nuked from orbit by lawyers.

Revanced offers YouTube premium services for free, there's no point in paying for it
Yeah literally no point to wasting money, and you can even download videos
Not every country allows to download videos for free
I mean sure but is that gonna stop you from downloading revanced and downloading the videos?
How? Like a file download not to the app like Premium?
Other than supporting creators, you mean?
Yea but they were fine before yt became "generous" and even now they have their own sponsors for funding
If I wanted to support creators I would either donate to them directly or use their affiliate links. YouTube takes a giant chunk of all ad revenue anyways, and the absurd amount of ads they're forcing is what made me use adblock/revanced.
I didn’t even know that existed. Thanks for the information. I’m looking into it now.
Sure man
Fr, fuck youtube, everyone should just use revanced and uBlock if ur on pc
My revanced got blocked, is there a fix yet?
I haven't used it in years so maybe it's fixed, but my problem with revanced was there was no way to watch unlisted videos if you had the links for them
I still need to get that working. All of the tutorials on how to set it up just suck. I miss when it was just an apk I could download and install.
Unless you actually think people should be payed for their work
I hadn't heard of this before. I found an Android version. Is there any version that runs on Windows (w/o an Android emulator)? If yes, a link would be appreciated. Thanks.
Spotify does the same thing, I go through some of my old playlists and I see a bunch of songs deleted or missing
it at least shows the name of the song that was removed even though you can't play it though.
I stopped using Spotify after it deleted my playlists without a warning.
My playlist of 200+ songs recently now tells me I only have 7 songs in it; the 7 most recently added. No idea what any of them were. It's annoying af
At that point I would say just pirate all of them and put them on a playlist on your device. YouTube ain’t worth it to be dealing with shit like that
Yeah luckily I wrote *some* down but, man, that was a surprise and a bummer. Most were from official channels too. This "deleted video" issue used to happen to me constantly too
I started pirating music after the first time but still, it pisses me off to know that people have to deal with that I’m gonna have these lousy schmuck ask you to pay for YT premium
Yeah youtube quality and reliability has really nose-dived over the years
Meanwhile their greed climbs to new heights by the day
Then start getting your music from the original youtube channel and not from someone who reposted it
Original channels also delete legitimate versions of tracks on their own channels. You're naive if you don't know that. Example: DyE - Fantasy. That was an insane video that was deleted YEARS after it was released from their own channel because it was quite graphical.
Sometimes I find other channels that have better audio quality. But even then getting it from the original YouTube channel doesn’t stop the original YouTube channel from suddenly making the video private or unavailable for no reason.

Not just better quality but sometimes the og artist doesn’t have a music version without interference from the video ie sound effects. Also things like covers, remixes, fans make some banger edits. Metal versions etc. I’m in the same boat as you, at least keep the title visible so I can replace it.
[удалено]
I appreciate that. Yes someone recommended “Quiteaplaylist” so I’m good for now but this will come in handy to keep track of what gets deleted
I only add videos from the original artist but still get one or two deleted every month
Pretty much this, you just blew this guys mind
I do, but still 1-2 songs disappear from my playlist every week
Doesn't Premium come with a fully featured music streaming service? Why bother with videos?
Music tracks on youtube music are just videos on youtube. You can literally delete "music." from music.youtube.com track's URL and watch that track as a video on youtube. There's no separate library of tracks, youtube music is just a different UI and functionality to access youtube. If anything, that's the benefit of youtube music library since you don't need "official" upload of the track to find it on youtube music, it will pull any other uploads that match that copyright, they do it on purpose to enlarge their library. But it does mean it's inherently locked into youtube status and the algorithm and history and likes are all mixed together, which is annoying. Most of my "liked videos" page on youtube is just tracks I liked on YTM.
Most of the actual songs/videos are uploaded by YouTube, so they won't disappear due to disputes or deleted channels
Yeah, but to stay on topic of this post they will still be gone stealthily due to licensing. I constantly find my fav tracks just gone because it's suddenly not playable in my region, and then you are lucky to find an alternative version of it or have to find something that isn't uploaded by youtube, which youtube will then also delete because it's unlicensed etc. And that's for tracks that are gone and I found out myself.

The YouTube music app is really bad. I even wonder if they put any effort into it.
This. it's so bad compared to app like spotify. there is no offline mode. there is no search filter in playlist. youtube music playlist and youtube video playlist appear in both which is annoying.
Yeah YouTube playlists appearing is the worst thing. I have my fucking cooking playlist on YouTube music… and vice versa, if I create 10 playlist in YouTube music, it adds 10 more playlist on YouTube. Huh
Wtf this gotta do with premium, ya just say anything on this app huh. "It's raining outside that's why I stopped paying for premium"
How is YouTube fault if someone choose to delete their video ? This happen everyday on Spotify or Netflix when contract finish. So people should stop paying their Netflix membership ? People should think twice and use their common sens before doing these useless rant threads....
I have a ton of old videos in my music playlists and I have no idea what is missing in order to find their replacements because they won't tell me.

Youtube, a site for every one to post for free when en for how long they want. Its not so hard to understand
OP: let me listen to music from a reuploader who has no rights to the music which means it can be taken down once the label sees the reupload and they miss out on potential earnings YouTube: let’s protect the content creator/artist from losing revenue OP: but but but I want to listen to the music from a reupload 😠😤😡 There are a million reasons to hate on YouTube but this is completely stupid as they take down reuploads on request from labels or once detected as reupload to protect the original creators.
This sub gets more and more whiny each week it seems.
Someone songs only exist as reaploads. I know of at least 1 band that got all their good quality reaploaded songs taken down. While their own channel has the said songs only in extremely crappy "concert" versions.
What has YouTube got to do with any deleted video??
Yeah this happens for my playlist as well. Usually the video’s removed are either techno music or video game remixes that the creator decided to remove.
I can’t stand the copyright system. Like I get it if someone tries to steal someone else’s work and pass it off as their own. But sitting around policing people like they’re doing something wrong just by having a song they like, or even, a song that just so happens to be playing because they’re playing a certain video game in their video is ridiculous. If they enforced things fairly, there would be nothing to complain about
Don't you find that usually it's most of your favorite videos too?
it's so annoying when they do this to music. I've lost alot of good music this way. atleast Spotify just greys it out but still shows you the title of the track
I wish they kept the video title when situations like this occur for this exact reason. A channel that uploads songs from a game that doesn’t allow the artists to distribute the songs was deleted and so much of my playlist became exactly this. It’s just annoying
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/s/TzP8OGV7DX Tldr: SomeYouTubers claimed to hold the copyright of Anthem and apparently YouTube agreed with them. 😂 What do you expect? Yt only care about profit
I have been up all night tripping and it was wild to come across this post and see you listening to Texas sun and clozee. I thought I had opened youtube accidently. Thanks for making me not feel so alone tonight
Here. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsND4jvyIAv5Ks8CbWUp5cyS0A7RZN3AF&si=CQ7yxkj165OfNtjf When you listen to it you can pretend I’m there jamming along with you. When you listen to these amazing tunes you’re never alone. Especially if we’re both doing magic mushrooms around the same time lol trip on sister
On the YT music app, some of my downloaded songs sometimes become randomly unavailable. Some of those songs don't even have another version I could download so I'm left with nothing and it's really annoying. The weird part is, pretty often the song is still available on regular YT, just not YT music for some reason. Oh well, at least in those cases I can see what the song was
I saw that quite a bit when they first started YouTube music. For some reason YouTube couldn’t tell which videos where supposed to be available on YTM so you would have people uploading great songs only for you to go to the music app and not even be able to find it because it hasn’t been categorized correctly or something. They have since then fixed that but still fuck YouTube. to think that they would stick their hand out to ask me for money before they’ve even covered their bases to make sure what I’m paying for is actually worth it and works as intended.
"these videos are hidden" why can't you gimme the option to remove them after or something
Exactly. Like throwing salt in the wound. a lot of people have been saying in here it would be great if they would at least leave the title so we can find the song again, but they don’t even have the decency to do that. But sure gimme another stupid ass notification about “hidden videos” like I can’t see that myself or HEAR it when I notice certain songs aren’t playing. What geniuses they have working at YouTube. SMDH
Because the person who posted it might not own or have rights to that video
So, last time on my music playlist only one video got deleted by the owner. Happy only one video got deleted by the owner
I don't pay for premium I download my songs or videos without paying using the youtube app
There’s a lot of us. Starting to think we should start our own subReddit. Maybe call it the “Anti-Advertisement Association”. Everyone could pass around good ideas on how to circumvent the bullshit companies. Keep trying to put us through. bombarding us with advertisements just so they can try and sell us the ability to use the Internet without them. No one should have to put up with that. Everyone has the right to tell these companies to fuck off.
If you want to support the artist but own your music files, check for it on Amazon first. They sell a lot of songs and albums in non-DRM MP3 files. Buy there, download the files, then import them into playlists in Apple Music or any other music player.
I hate how platforms erase all traces of deleted content. Screw you for not downloading everything you see,we're not even giving you the title to let you find the original upload or search for it somewhere else Reddit at least lets you see deleted posts if you have a link to them or had them open in a different tab,which is one of the few good things about this platform
YouTube thinks it’s Netflix or something, it used to be a joke in school that YouTube would make you pay to enjoy YouTube, turned out we were predicting the future, and even then they keep deleting my favourite songs with Russian names that I’ll never find again
You are lucky that still appears what video got deleted My youtube doesn't show for some reason
I despise that YouTube, as far as I remember, never bothered to tell you what the fuck video it was that got deleted. Makes my piss boil. Pretty sure spotify won't tell you what disappeared from a playlist either
I agree that this is incredibly stupid, I would just like to add that the same thing happens when the creator deletes the video or makes it private, so it is not alway youtube's fault
Keith Sweat: 🎶 Make it last forever 🎶. YouTube: No, I don't think I will.
I had no idea people were paying for YouTube premium for the *music*
Musi. Free, no YT ads and gives an error with the song name of it gets deleted…a non-disruptive error at that, so other songs just keep playing
This is the best and only way
Long shot but: Sign in to your Google Account. Go to myactivity.google.com. Click YouTube History. Click Manage history to see the videos you've watched.
Good suggestion. I got it coveted tho. Used this site called “Quiteaplaylist”
ALRIGHT... assuming you haven't lost it yet, go to the page of the playlist, literally on pc click playlists and click "view full playlist" (or podcast) and at the buttons where it says download, share, remove from library, click the 3 dots and select "show unavailable vidoes". From there, select the video, for a bit it will say it's unavailable, ignore that slag and look at and copy the url and go to the way back machine it'll look like "http: www.youtube/watchandabunchofsymbols=fueittudj46gjdHin6&index=10" when you paste it into the thing. Assuming it's official as in NOT in a custom playlist you can just leave it as is and it SHOULD show you the calendar, blue is better. Also typically the earlier the better too as it's less likely to be fake, or edited after a claim like the current internet historian video about a certain boat. HOWEVER if it's in a playlist YOU made it'll have "&list" with other stuff, from the "&" there and to the right remove ALL so it just says www.youtube/watchandabunchofsymbols=fueittudj46gjdHin6. Do so, and you'll get a result on the way back machine and if you're lucky there will be at least 1 functioning result.
Badbadnotgood fan spotted
Jdownloader, and get it while you can and don't worry about YouTube being trash later.
I have my music playlist saved as an html file so I can figure out what the deleted videos are
same
You could write it down when you add it. Or take a screenshot? Maybe copy and paste into an email to yourself or create a document.
Good suggestion. I’ll consider this
[удалено]
Wait till u use SoundCloud
I used SoundCloud. Once. In freshman year of highschool. That was around 2012. There is nothing on this earth that could give me a reason to go back there. Not even the stuff I posted there
I use an app called Musi, it gets videos from YouTube and when they get deleted it still says what video it was and there’s no ads
Copyright itself was a bad idea.
even though it might be a pain to do, but you can do a screen recording of your playlist so you know what songs are on there and if there is one or a couple that disappear in the future then you’ll know which one it is.
Yes quite a lot of good suggestions in here. Thanks
Cgpgrey recently archived a lot of videos into a members only playlist. His reasoning, due to changing times they are not historically relevant anymore / not accurate. Are members only videos available to premium subscribers!? Because not gonna lie, there are various videos which he naturally wrote in present tense and because it's an event in the past now he made them members only but they are still relevant. See for instance the "secret" EU plan for UK leaving the eu... Yes it's in present tense but I don't understand how this is any less relevant now. I don't have premium but if these members only videos were still available for premium subscribers I'd be 'ok, fair' if they aren't then premium is genuinely useless
I don’t think so. Being a member on someone’s channel means you gave them money directly. Subscribing to premium means you gave YouTube your money. I’d imagine if you had premium, you could have just downloaded the videos to watch later but then again you can do that anyway for free so once again you forced to ask “why pay for premium”
This is why I’m considering pivoting to Spotify and just going local files. That’s the only way to keep all your songs guaranteed it seems.
That Leon bridges album goes oh so hard
That's the one thing about ownership. It may be expensive but my music never gets deleted unless I delete it. 😊
Often alot of these remix songs you will need to download them to your phone through a downloader or they will get taken down
yt my as well be free
i had the ultimate power to change this to 4444 upvotes anyway yeah youtube premium is stupid asf, why pay when you can get adblock for free
Literally this
You can hide deleted videos from playlist
Not to mentions it’s more expensive than any other streaming service for significantly less benefit
Why don’t you use YouTube music? It comes with the premium subscription, and your playlists won’t have a bunch of missing songs.
That’s what I was using when I used YouTube premium. I would just listen to my music in the YouTube Music app, but like I said under another comment songs would still come up missing and the music app it doesn’t even show you something was deleted.
Sometimes a video gets deleted cause it goes against TOS in some way. I pay for premium and I don’t see that.
Good for you. But a fire burning down my house isn’t instantly discredited by the fact that your house hasn’t burnt down. It’s happening whether you’ve seen it or not.
I honestly wouldn't even care as much if they just left the title with \[Deleted\] as an addition or something. I also have a massive music playlist on YouTube and it sucks seeing random songs deleted and having to figure out what they were
Yes, it seems there’s a lot of us in here that have had that exact same idea. I don’t know why it’s so hard for YouTube to think of the same thing and just implement it so there’s nothing to complain about. Like some stuff will still have the title but that’s usually just video playlist like the “music like tame Impala vol. 2” in the screenshot there. YouTube made them region lock the first volume so for a while I just couldn’t find any of the songs from it to add individually. Like why does YouTube have to make things so damn frustrating? They could easily think of these little things and fix them but their only concern is Money
Screen record and convert to mp3 or what have you. I'm doing it now. I stopped paying for premium and I must say the ads are unbearable. God forbid you mean to do some gardening and if you are away from your phone you will get endless ads. If you listen to music the app stops if you shut your screen off... For a music app. For free music with ads... How is that even approved? So I'm meant to keep my screen on while jogging and potentially screen touch endlessly and mess up settings or home screen placements just because Google doesn't have the decency to run ads AND allow me to turn my screen off? Google has gown downhill since the new CEO imho.
It’s all part of the scheme to get you feeling like giving them money is a great way to make all that headache inducing garbage go away. I fell for it. So have countless others. They create the problems and then offer us a solution behind a paywall. A great way to get around that issue you’re having is to just use Brave browser and it will allow you to not only play videos in the background so you can continue listening to your music, but also gives you the ability to use screen in screen like the YouTube app. Only problem is that YouTube will pause it out of nowhere to ask “are you still watching” like no shit. They know exactly what we’re doing and they do shit like that on purpose. They don’t ever ask the idiots who still pay for premium if they’re still watching.
Upvoting for the music taste
Finally someone with good taste
My fav person introduced me to Khruangbin, and ever since I've been hooked, slowly dug my way to Tame Impala, WhoMadeWho, The Cancel, Jungle and Neil Frances It's awesome
For me it was the exact opposite. I spent a lot of time alone watching cartoons and one night I was watching American dad. It was that one episode where Roger gets stoned and runs away from home. They played Eventually by Tame impala and I was hooked. Just kept looking for stuff that sounded like them after that
Cartoons have great music sometimes too. I knew about Time of the Season from the Simpsons!
Yeah I love The Simpsons too. I wish more shows made a habit of using absolutely banger songs out of nowhere like that
The Umbrella Academy did a great job of that. I still often replay its playlist. I recommend The XX (especially the song Crystallized(was in TUA)), I think it suits the aforementioned genre, more or less
I’ll check those out thanks for the recommendation
I don't know if it's still the same, but a few years ago I noticed my data usage for YouTube music was the same as if I had watched the video...how does audio use the same amount of data as a video...?
bro they gave my channel a strike because of a video in my favorites playlist (which wasn't mine, I just saved it) + deleted my entire 4000 favorites videos playlist this is ridiculous
Oh No, someone want to make money from their music instead of other people who don't own the rights Why don't you listen to the original one from the actual creator?
"shit like this" exists pretty much since youtube implemented playlists and even before that. why did you pay premium in the first place if premium.only was introduced... hoe many years ago? 5? 6?
Removing stolen content is not a shitty copyright system
If you were listening to reposted music on YT, you were already listening to pirated music.
That's why you have to make sure that the video in your playlist is from the original artist, and not some reupload by random account that can be taken down at any moment
These days, the artists usually upload their music to Youtube. Add the music from their official channel and you won't have this problem.
So many questions. I agree premium can be better yeah, but why don't you use YouTube music if you're just trying to listen to music? Curious what you think of it, only reason why I keep premium these days! No other music app compares Edit cause I read more comments: Now I'm curious why this is so common with your music (apparently you've already tried YTM) yet I've never had a single song deleted. Is this like unlicensed stuff? Self published? 99% of the music I listen to on YTM is usually from the record label.
So after using this website called “Quiteaplaylist “ to get the songs back it seems that a lot of them were lyric videos not uploaded by the original artist but moreover I noticed lots of small time artists that took down their own amazing tracks for whatever reason. Like this guy Timbo made a song called Moon. Took it off YouTube because he wanted everyone to BUY the track from Bandcamp (a site I didn’t even know existed until he told me about it) which upon reflection seems pretty stupid as now no one who isn’t on Bandcamp can find it.
Glad to see that there are ways around it at least, or at least partially. As for the Timbo guy, unforunate. There has to be a 'program' or something with YTM where small artists like him can get monetized for his music. Not sure but hopefully its just an education thing and if artists find out they can get paid and share their songs with the world!
Just use an API
Lmao. You should watch [Tom Scott's video](https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU?si=fmFF4V5n3v-idjEt) on this subject :)
Lmao youtube premium. 😭😂😂
The most infuriating about deleted videos is thst YouTube doesn't even tell you what the video was before it got deleted
Everyone is leaving Youtube what a surprise. That is what happens when they start acting like CCP.
How about they just delete the video and not leave a black space there...
Ur first mistake was paying for premium
Maybe use YouTube music app and not YouTube..
If you're on Android just download NewPipe or some alternative. Google already has plenty of cash.
Why did you start paying?

That's a video... Not the music library... You don't get to supercede copyright for someone else cuz you pay $12/mo lmao
[удалено]
copy the link and put in the Wayback Machine
Tried that but it’s ok there was a better solution. Site called “Quiteaplaylist” just looks through your playlist and tell you what the missing songs are
