Here’s what you need to know about YouTube Music before subscribing to the new music streaming service that Google hopes will compete with Apple Music and Spotify.
YouTube Music ads featuring a woman picking up trash on the road, a boy on the subway and a young lady rocking him with alphabet aerobics are airing on TV and streaming services to entice users to check out the YouTube Music app.
You can try YouTube Music for free, and some users get a free trial of YouTube Red, which removes the ads that normally run on YouTube Music.
YouTube Music includes live performances, along with access to the artists you love, as well as remixes and covers from YouTube stars.
Here’s what you need to know before signing up for YouTube Music.
What is YouTube Music
What you need to know about the YouTube Music app.
YouTube Music is a music-focused app that taps into the Music videos you normally watch, but you can listen to them in the background with a paid subscription, phone in your pocket or while driving.
The YouTube Music app includes access to music and videos so you can go to one app to fulfill your entertainment needs.
Users can download the YouTube Music app free from iTunes or Google Play.
How Much Does YouTube Music Cost?
You have to pay for all YouTube Music features, but you also get an ad-free YouTube experience.
YouTube Music is free to download and use, but you’ll need YouTube Red if you want to take full advantage of it.
YouTube Red is available as an in-app purchase, or you can bring a subscription you already have to an iPhone or Android device.
YouTube Red lets you use the YouTube Music app for background playback and offline access to music. You also get ad-free and offline videos on YouTube as well as original shows on YouTube.
How to Save $3/Month on YouTube Music and YouTube Red
Subscribe to YouTube Red on the web to save $3 per month.
If you’re on an iPhone and don’t like paying extra for things, you shouldn’t sign up for YouTube Red in the YouTube Music app.
YouTube Red is $12.99 per month on the iPhone app, but $9.99 per month directly from YouTube.
Instead of signing up for the app, you can go to this page. Sign up for YouTube Red for $9.99/month and it will work on all your devices.
YouTube Music Family Plan is Strange
If you want the YouTube Music Family Plan, you’ll need to purchase the Google Play Music Family Plan, which includes YouTube Red for six.
There is a YouTube Music Family Plan that lets you share YouTube Red between six people in a family, but you can’t purchase it in-app.
If your family will use YouTube Music and YouTube Red, you’ll need to purchase a Google Play Music family plan through Google Play Music. This includes YouTube Red so you can listen in the background and keep the music offline on YouTube Music.
It’s a strange trend that the best ways to subscribe aren’t in the YouTube Music app.
YouTube Music Offline Shuffle List
Save music offline, including an automatically generated Offline shuffle list.
When you subscribe with YouTube Red, you can have YouTube Music compile you into an Offline shuffle of 20 or more songs that you can listen to even when you don’t have an internet connection. You don’t need to select the songs, just turn on the Offline shuffle option; YouTube Music uses your preferences to create a collection for you.
If you want to make sure you have enough music for your commute or plane trip, you can go to the settings and go up to 100 songs in the mixtape.
