While YouTube isn't changing anything about the substance of Red, the service is essentially getting a new name- YouTube Premium. Since 2015, YouTube Red has been the option for those who want an ad-free experience on the entire website and are willing to pay $10 per month for it. That takes care of the music side of YouTube, but that's just a portion of the content on the video website. Current subscribers don't have to worry about big changes or losing their playlists or downloads anytime soon, but it's unlikely that the Google Play Music branding will stick around once the new YouTube Music takes over. Those who currently pay monthly for Google Play Music will get a YouTube Music Premium subscription as well, and nothing will change with Google Play Music for now. If this sounds akin to Google Play Music, that's because it is. That means users can listen to tracks without having the app open or playing the visuals of a music video, and they can also download tracks for offline listening. In addition to everything included in the free version of YouTube Music, YouTube Music Premium enables background listening and downloads. All of that will be available through YouTube Music for free for anyone who can stand advertisements throughout, making it similar to free versions of other streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music.īut YouTube Music Premium removes ads and offers a few extra perks-and it will cost $9.99 per month.

It's likely that Google incorporates AI into this feature, allowing you to search for songs using descriptions or lyrics. Users can also search for songs using YouTube Music search without knowing the song's name. The new app will also have a 'dynamic home screen' that provides listening recommendations based on your history, what you're doing, and where you are. YouTube emphasizes that 'all the ways music moves you can be found in one place' in the new YouTube Music, as it gives users access to thousands of playlists, official songs and albums, remixes, covers, live versions, and music videos.

Let's break down YouTube Music first: the new music-streaming service will offer free, ad-supported music streaming through a new desktop and mobile app. Further Reading Cobra Kai is a funny and engaging return to The Karate Kid universe
