The YouTube music app is a streamlined, music-only app that makes viewing or listening to your favorite artists much easier. With the demise of traditional television, more artists have been turning to YouTube to release music videos. Due to the large musical catalog already available on YouTube, this venture from the streaming website behemoth comes as no surprise.
Setting this music streaming service apart from others is its recommendation feature. Much like with videos on the site, the YouTube music app will let you search and save your favorite artists, and from this data will suggest similar artist or songs. If you choose to exclusively search for music you already know, the app also lets you create personalized stations.
Additionally, the app will also feature the most popular covers, remixes, videos and even live footage that coincide with your preferences.
