YouTube Premium and YouTube Music now available in India
Along with YouTube Premium service, Google launched YouTube Music on March 12 night. This changes the streaming turf in the country by manifolds and YouTube being already established in the Indian music industry. Just look at the ongoing scuffle between T-Series and PewDiePie, one need not even have to look far.
YouTube Music is a one-stop solution for all your music streaming needs. It's got everything from official songs, albums, and playlists to radio channels of popular artists. Not only this, but the Music app also gets access to YouTube's humongous and exclusive catalogue of music videos, which covers of popular songs and more.
The YouTube Music app can be used without paying although with ads. For an ad-free service, Google offers YouTube Music Premium which allows users to listen to music even when the screen is off. Google being the pioneers in the AI business and based on its exceptionally well-created recommendations, we can be assured that it won't be a letdown.
With its algorithms, we can see the recommendations based on the music streamed previously on the home screen. The app also advice music based on location and time of day.
But the best feature out of the whole lot is the ability to minimize the YouTube Music app when it is running in the background and even works when the phone is locked. The app will work very similar to other music streaming app.
Google YouTube Premium service is brought to India with a swing of new additions to the YouTube app. Now, one can subscribe to YouTube Premium and watch videos ad-free, download more videos than ever and even play a video in the background if your phone supports picture-in-picture mode. YouTube Originals productions are also there to stream in India.
YouTube Premium and Music subscription prices
The ad-free YouTube Music can be subscribed at just Rs 99 per month but YouTube Premium subscription is a better idea which costs Rs 129 and is a steal. For this price, customers can get access to both YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium features.
