Weather even plays a role YouTube Music Premium detected clear skies in New York City, which resulted in the 'Feel Good Favorites' playlist. During the evening, YouTube Music recommended several 'Commute' playlists, with Rock, Hip-Hop, and Classic drive tunes to jive to. For example, in the early morning it suggested listening to the energy-boosting 'Classic Rock Party' and ''90s Hip Hop Party' playlists. In our testing, YouTube Music detected the time of day and our location, and served us the appropriate playlists. If you're at the gym, YouTube Music should feed you heart-pumping beats and riffs. If you're in an airport, for example, YouTube Music should deliver relaxing tunes for the stressful flight experience. YouTube Music leverages the mountains of data that Google has on its users to provide customized experiences-at least that's the goal. Now you have something to do between Cobra Kai episodes. In addition, if you subscribe to YouTube Premium-the company's $11.99-per-month ad-free entertainment network-YouTube Music Premium is included as part of the package. It also offers a student discount for $4.99.

The option gives six people access to YouTube Music's catalog and premium features for $14.99 per month. Like Spotify, Tidal, and many other paid streaming music services, YouTube Music has a family plan. Please note that you can get ad-free listening elsewhere, and cheaper with LiveXLive's unique $3.99-per-month Plus plan. In this regard, YouTube Music Premium stands up to the competition. This subscription also lets you download tracks for offline listening on mobile devices, and even offers an offline mixtape, an auto-downloaded playlist based on your listening preferences. A $9.99 per-month YouTube Music Premium subscription lets you eliminate ads. Most other services, including LiveXLive and SiriusXM Internet Radio, limit your hourly song skips for music and comedy channels. Sure, the ads aren’t ideal, but they’re generally short, and you can skip as many tracks as you like during your sessions. It’s a good option if you're curious to try it. The service is free to use, with ads peppered between tracks. You can enjoy YouTube Music directly from your browser, or through a downloadable mobile app. Read our editorial mission (Opens in a new window) & see how we test (Opens in a new window).
