YouTube started as a platform for watching videos, but it has increasingly become a popular choice for listening to music. Many users prefer this platform for music because it offers a wide range of unconventional tracks, including lesser-known songs, indie artists, and trending cover versions. Such music is often hard to find on traditional music platforms like Spotify. Recognizing this demand, YouTube launched YouTube Music, an app that leverages its vast audio resources to cater to a specific audience.

GET PERSONALIZED MUSIC, PERFECT FOR EVERY MOMENT

YouTube Music is dedicated solely to music listening, with a user-friendly interface designed for this purpose. As you listen to more music, the app personalizes your experience. Users can also adjust settings to enhance convenience.

• Custom activity playlists: Depending on the activity, the app offers various playlist options, such as workout, relaxation, focus, and more.
