Just a question - do you guys actually listen to your music on Youtube or just use these posts as suggestions that you listen to from other sources?

Personally I can’t listen to Youtube - terrible quality.

YouTube initially, then if I like it I’ll see if it’s on Amazon Prime

If not there, torrents

I only use youtube to watch music videos, particularly new releases and exploring bands I aren't that familiar with before deciding whether to buy or not. With a large CD collection, my main listening is on my stereo system.

Youtube is great for following threads of music and discovering stuff but I wouldn't use it for straight out listening. I use Apple Music as I am in their ecosystem and can usually find something I'm looking for.
Most of the time it is through bluetooth (headphones) or wifi (Sonos)so file quality isn't a big driver but they have at least improved the streaming using lossless.

BTW, if you want lossless audio streaming of anything from your desktop via chromecast, you can use Desktop Audio Streamer for Windows:

GitHub - SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer: Stream the sound of your desktop to your Chromecast Audio device

Stream the sound of your desktop to your Chromecast Audio device - SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer

Mainly background music or suggestions.
