That makes a lot of sense - I would prefer a single destination for all of my Google-provided music needs.
So why should you care? Well, it sounds like Google is finally merging YouTube Music and Google Play Music into a single product. According to Google, "For the first time, all the ways music moves you can be found in one place."īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. There will also be a new, dedicated desktop player to complement the redesigned mobile app. It will have official songs, playlists and artist radio in addition to YouTube's extensive catalog. In a blog post, the company announced YouTube Music, a "new music streaming service made for music with the magic of YouTube." That sounds, well, just like the current YouTube Music app.Īpparently this one is different. But its idea of a fix doesn't seem much better. Google knows how chaotic its offerings are right now. But if you have the option of YouTube Red, it's basically a no-brainer, because it costs $9.99 per month and nets you ad-free YouTube, some YouTube originals and ad-free YouTube Music access too." That's fine, but my gosh is it a mouthful. If someone asks, "Are any of them worth it?" I usually respond with a long-winded explanation like, "Well, if you live outside the US, Google Play Music is still worth considering as a standalone streaming service. It's ad supported, but you can unlock a premium version if you subscribe to YouTube Red, which also comes with a free Play Music subscription.įor the average person, it's needlessly complicated.
GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC MY LIBRARY ADS DOWNLOAD
In a handful of countries you can also download YouTube Music, a free app that includes music videos and live-concert footage. There's Google Play Music, a Spotify rival with a robust "locker" system for streaming your personal library.
That should be cause for celebration, since the company's offerings are a convoluted mess right now.
Today Google announced a major shake-up of its music- and video-streaming services.
