One thing YouTube Music does better than Play Music

I am not happy about switching from Play Music and have been putting off the switch for as long as possible. But this week my Play Music would no cast from my phone to my speakers so I decided to just give in and make the transfer. While I still miss Play Music I do like one thing.

I can connect to the queue from multiple devices. If I cast from the YouTube Music app on one phone I can connect to the speaker group on another phone and it will pull up the currently active queue and I can manage it from both devices at once without having to go to the Google Home app.

You do have to make sure there is no current queue on that second device though, whether active or inactive. You can just swipe down and it will close out that queue. Otherwise the second device's queue will take over the cast.

Everything else sucks though.

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
