YouTube Music is one of the most popular music streaming services in recent years. It is a platform created by Google to allow people to listen to the music they love online, either in video or audio form, without having to download it to their devices. Since Google shut down Google Play Music in 2020, YouTube Music has become the only official music service put before the public. It is directly connected to the classic YouTube, giving users access to millions of songs, albums, playlists, and even live concerts that they can enjoy anywhere, on any device.
A big advantage of YouTube Music is its integration with YouTube
. This means that if you have ever heard a song on YouTube, chances are it is also available on YouTube Music in an audio-only version. The platform has the ability to recommend music based on what you have already listened to, what you search for, and what is popular in your area. This makes the experience more personalized. You can create your own playlists, save songs you like, and even download music to listen to offline if you have a Premium subscription.
YouTube Music comes in two main forms: a free version and a paid version called YouTube Music
Premium. In the free version, you can listen to music but you will see ads, and you cannot have the music continue playing in the background if your phone is locked or you are using another app. With YouTube Music Premium, you can play music without ads, keep the music playing even if your phone screen is off, and you have the option to download music for offline use. This is a big advantage for those who are often on the go or in areas where the internet is not always good.
The platform is available on multiple devices
smartphones (Android and iOS), computers (in web browsers), and even smart devices like Google Nest Hub, Chromecast, and some smart TVs. Users can easily switch between watching a music video on YouTube and listening to just the audio version on YouTube Music. This provides more flexibility than other music streaming services that focus solely on audio.
Another highlight is YouTube Music’s music catalog, which is one of the largest in the world. It features popular songs, independent music, traditional music from different countries, and even music that is not easily found on other platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, because many of them come directly from YouTube videos. This means that you can find remixes, covers, and live versions that you would not find anywhere else.
YouTube Music also uses artificial intelligence to create recommendations. When you open the application, you find a “Home” section with lists of music adapted to the time of day or the activity you are doing. For example, in the morning you can find a playlist to motivate you, while in the evening you can find softer music to relax you.
For those who like to follow the latest music, the “Hotlist” or “Trending” section shows what is currently popular in your country or around the world. This makes it easy to stay connected to the music that is on everyone’s lips.
In short, YouTube Music is a flexible, convenient music streaming service, with one of the largest catalogs in the industry. It’s best suited for people who already use YouTube and want a deeper, ad-free music experience, with more freedom to play music anywhere. With full integration with YouTube, the possibilities for discovering new music become limitless, and users can enjoy the best of both worlds: music and video in one place.
