About YouTube Music
YouTube Music is Google's streaming service built on top of YouTube's catalog. It combines official tracks and albums with the live versions, remixes, covers, and music videos that exist only on YouTube, so listeners can switch between audio and video for the same song.
The service offers personalized mixes, mood and activity stations, and a recommendation engine fed by listening and YouTube watch history. Users can build playlists, follow artists, and download songs and albums for offline playback in the mobile apps.
A free, ad-supported tier is available with limitations such as no background playback on mobile. YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium remove ads, enable background and offline play, and unlock audio-only mode.
