when do I use 'yet' instead of 'but' ?
I must use 'yet' at the beginning of a sentence, right?
maybe this example: I like any type of music. Yet waiting for someone with the same music taste as me.
Is that sentence correct?

They can be interchangeable as long as they are used as conjunctions (examples below)
He is poor yet successful. He is poor but successful
They are not interchangeable when used as adverbs:
The teacher has yet to give the final results of the exams (you cannot use but here)
Your willingness to work is but one of your many positive traits ( you cannot use yet here )
Hope this helps

No, more likely not. As you have it, you are using "yet" as a conjunction, which often (but not always) joins two clauses together, and so winds up in the middle of the sentence. Your example would typically be written, " I like any type of music, yet I am waiting for someone with the same taste in music as me".

Use "but" for "but". Use "yet" for "yet". They are different. Keep these words separate and distinct.

Is that sentence correct? No. It makes no sense. "Yet" does not belong here. The second sentence is NOT a sentence. It has no subject or verb that I can see.

I think they are fairly interchangeable. I can't think of a time I would use "yet" at the beginning of a sentence. I hope someone else will answer as well.
