YouTube has decided to take advantage of the tremendous potential of its platform to launch a music streaming service, YouTube Music, which also offers countless hours of video content, whether it’s music videos or concerts, which sets it apart from some of its big competitors like Spotify. YouTube Music has great advantages and has become one of the most interesting alternatives in the music streaming world.
Recommendations that leverage your research
As with Spotify and other music streaming services, YouTube Music has its own recommendation system based on your tastes and interests.
It has filters at the top of the home screen where you can choose the type of music you want to listen to depending on what you want to do like relax, work out, commuting by car or even concentrating.
In addition, it has its own playlists classified according to the type of music and the humor it releases. Similarly, there are also other personalized playlists based on the music you have listened to before.
There is also long section in which songs or videos are taught which have a considerable duration, which can be a great option for studying or working.
The app’s layout looks like a hybrid between the conventional version of YouTube and Spotify, with a main screen showing recommendations, recent plays and personalized playlists to get you started with music.
If you wish, you can subscribe to the channels of your favorite artists to be informed of their releases, as well as being able to access all your favorite artists from the library section.
Explore and discover new music
The YouTube Music Library consists of over 80 million songs which you can add to your playlists at will, and not only that, but one of its key points is the fact that it has the platform’s video support to offer live recorded music, as well as video clips, which can alternate between music and video from the player itself.
At the top of the Explore section, you’ll find a section for What’s New, Best Graphics, and Mood and Genres. If you navigate to each of them, you will see different playlists and shortcuts to musical genres, where you will in turn have access to more personalized lists created with YouTube.
You can activate an option called Smart Downloads, which will take care of downloading music at night when connected to a Wi-Fi network so you always have something to listen to. You will only have to select the approximate size you want it to occupy, and this music will be downloaded automatically.
On the other hand, you can create your own playlists with your favorite songs, and these will be stored in the Library section, where you can also find your artists, songs, albums, downloads or subscriptions. You can set the privacy of the list depending on whether you want it to be public or not, then add your own songs.
In this case, the platform is able to offer a good number of recommendations, lists created by the community and even by YouTube itself, but it is true that it encourages the creation of own lists a little less.
Additionally, the app has the ability to also play content that you have stored locally on your smartphone.
