Custom Art and Music for Your Music Lover Userbar: A How-To Guide 💿🎸🎧

I've been playing around more and wanted to give a little extra advice. It seems like the default size in the editor is a 300x300 album cover, so I made one with the 160x22 userbar right in the middle, but then I realized that I could put multiple things on the same cover to make it easier to switch between! So mine currently looks like this!



[edit] realized the transparent bg makes it hard to tell, so added a border:

You just blew my mind! Adding multiple things is genius! It probably makes cropping easier too, since the default size gets tricky to perfectly fit. I can't wait to update mine now. Thank you so much, kitty. I'm on my phone right now, but I will make sure to credit you in the main post tomorrow. 🔥

Yeah, with this there's basically no cropping needed and it defaults to the same size in my experience so far, so no zooming, just sliding vertically to select the bar you want, and maybe a little nudging horizontally.

If you're new to YouTube Music or have never uploaded music before, you may find the process daunting.

This right here is enough to make me not want to do this no matter how much I want to It's a lovely guide but it's a bit too daunting for my small brain to comprehend!

I've never done it before and I found it pretty easy. I didn't use YouTube Music directly, I chose the approach of uploading an allowed song in the background to my YouTube account, which I already had specifically for clraik stuff. I also verified my phone number so I could have a custom thumbnail and update it.

I want to get this userbar now just so I can do this. Thank you for the guide!
