YouTube Music Updates

[Bapun]

YouTube is going to charge more to see ad-free shows like ‘Cobra Kai’

Next week, YouTube is launching YouTube Music — a revamped version of its existing music service that is functionally the same, but comes with extra bells and whistles like personalized playlists based on your YouTube history and other usage patterns.

That service, which is supposed to soft-launch on Tuesday, will cost $10 a month after a trial period. (That same service will eventually also replace Google Play Music, a rival music service Google has inexplicably operated at the same time it was trying to get YouTube Music off the ground.)

More detail: YouTube Music’s $10 a month removes ads from music videos - but not the rest of YouTube. It also allows you to download music for offline listening, and to play music in the background while you do other things. YouTube Premium’s $12 a month removes ads from all of YouTube, like YouTube Red used to do.

Official YouTube Blog: YouTube Music, a new music streaming service, is coming soon

To extend the features of YouTube Music Premium beyond the music app, we’re soon introducing YouTube Premium, the new name for our YouTube Red subscription service. YouTube Premium includes ad-free, background and offline across all of YouTube, as well as access to all YouTube Originals including Cobra Kai, Step Up: High Water and Youth & Consequences. YouTube Premium will continue to provide an ad-free experience, background play, and downloads across the millions of videos on YouTube. But because it includes our brand new YouTube Music service, the price will be $11.99 for all new members.

Google launches YouTube Music with background playback, YouTube Premium with ad-free videos in India

The monthly subscription of YouTube Music Premium costs Rs 99, and YouTube Premium is available at a monthly rental of Rs 129 in India. YouTube Music, if you don't want to pay for it, will also be available as free app but supported by ads.

If you are a subscriber to Google Play Music, there’s good news: You get a YouTube Music Premium membership as part of your subscription each month. And if you use Google Play Music, nothing will change -- you’ll still be able to access all of your purchased music, uploads and playlists in Google Play Music just like always

There are legal apps on play store offering same features for free with ads.

And there are legal ways to block ads also but people have less time to search these days, they want ready made convenience so this pay service is for them

Not gonna complain as I got premium for free. I like the app better than play music but the drawback is no cache while streaming.
PS Google has nailed it with this apps launch in India. According to my research most people here listens to music on YouTube and wants to save data. If google allows ad supported music streaming on background for free. It will be the end of other music streaming platforms.
