One of the most-viewed websites on the planet, and by far the most popular video platform today, it is no surprise that millions of users turn to it every day for music. It is the default platform for viral music videos and hosts just about any song, fan cover, or remix you could ever want. Whether you are looking for lyrics to a song before karaoke night, music to sleep to, or a new remix to play at your next party, YouTube has what you are looking for.
When it was first launched in 2015, it was a half-hearted experiment, but when it was reborn in 2018, it was a mess. Since then, the service has been updated and improved, finally making it worth using. Even though it has 50 million subscribers, YouTube Music is still the fastest-growing music streaming app.
It's the best option if you want to listen to music offline or play music with the screen off, because it has an ad-supported free tier. It is one of the best music streaming services in 2022, but does it make sense to subscribe to it instead of its competitors? We will help you make a decision.
It is worth a look at the video-focused streaming service from Google.
Unlike other streaming platforms, including Apple Music, YouTube Music gives you easy access to official song audio and videos in one place. It is free to use, but the Premium version gives you more power with a host of additional features.

There is a gold mine. It might be the biggest catalog of professional, semi-professional, and amateur music available in the world, thanks to YouTube.
There is no excuse for using YouTube Music as a free user on a mobile device. You don't get access to all of its features because there are ads every three to six songs. You will want to pay for it or not use it.
There are three main options for YouTube Music Premium: a $5/month option for students, $10/month for a standard individual plan, or$15/month for a family plan with up to five users. All of these prices are in line with the industry standard. You can pay $100 a year for an individual plan if you prefer.
We don't recommend you subscribe to any of them. Why? For just $2/month or $20/year more, you can get YouTube Premium. It is $7/month, $12/month, or $17/month for students, individuals, or 5-person families.
You get ad-free and offline viewing for the slight increase. Two services are slightly more expensive than one.

YouTube Music is an adjustment from traditional music services because it is based around video as well as audio, but thanks to the search prowess of the internet giant, getting used to it is easy. We have a guide that will teach you everything you need to know about getting started with YouTube Music.
If you have an extensive digital music library, you can get access to songs that are not available on other services. Up to 100,000 songs can be uploaded. You can download music for offline play on compatible devices.
If you had music on the now-discontinued Google Play Music, you can transfer it to the library. You can transfer your music recommendations, playlists, radio stations, likes and dislikes, uploads, and library songs.

Once you have made your library available, you can download music for offline use. That will make sure you can enjoy your library while in airplane mode or anywhere without internet or signal.
You can find YouTube Music on more devices than you think. It is now possible to use YouTube Music on a Wear OS watch. You can enable it on maps while driving.
You might want to hide your likes on YouTube. This makes sure thatliking a song from the radio doesn't mean your regular feed will be filled with recommendations for that artist. If you know how, there are many other ways to improve your recommendations.

The only music streaming service in town is not the only one.
If you decide between the two, you'll find that Spotify has some serious perks in its favor. YouTube Music does not have a selection of podcasts and can only max out at 128kbps. Both work on the same list of devices, but there is a desktop audio option that many people prefer. You can log in on as many devices as you want, but only on the individual plan, which only has unlimited offline downloads for YouTube Music. The best in the business is considered the best by Spotify, but YouTube Music has gotten better recently.
If price is most important to you, you may choose Amazon Music, because its individual plan costs just $8/month or $79/year. Prime Student members pay just $1/month, or anyone can pay $4/month if they want music on just one device. If you can reduce the number of songs from 75 million to 2 million, you can get a free Prime subscription. Since Amazon works best with the latter, this pick will depend on whether or not you prefer the two.
You may wonder if Apple Music or YouTube Music is the right fit for your needs. Apple Music now has 90 million songs, it offers music videos, and it has respected recommendations. It has no free tier, but that is not a strong point for YouTube Music. Even if there is an Apple Music app for the Android platform, this option is better suited for the iPad users.

As of early 2022, the service is available in 95 countries.

In order to catch up with rivals, it spent a lot of the year improving its recommendations.
Last year, YouTube Music added related playlists to the bottom of your lists, with recs from both Google and other people you listen to. You can get unique mixes based on what kind of vibe you want. At the end of last year, YouTube released its first Year in Review summary.
Improvements will come our way soon. Your recs won't get destroyed by their adorable tastes now that supervised YouTube Music accounts are available for kids.
We are looking forward to more songs and better recommendations from the internet giant as we progress into the future.
