Google’s video-sharing platform, YouTube, is going to launch its own music streaming services starting next week, according to the company’s recent official blog post.
Like other music streaming platforms, YouTube Music is going to be released as a standalone mobile app and a desktop music player. Based on a preview of YouTube Music’s interface, it will also feature pre-selected playlists according to music genres that users can enjoy.
“The days of jumping back and forth between multiple music apps and YouTube are over,” the company said of its upcoming product. According to the same official blog post, YouTube Music is set to launch on Thursday, May 22.
However, the release of YouTube Music on May 22 will be initially limited to the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and South Korea. But YouTube promised that their new music streaming app will become available “in the coming weeks” in other parts of the world including Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Also similar to other music streaming services, Google’s YouTube Music will be available in both free and paid versions. People can use the app without paying a fee but must expect advertisements to pop up every now and then. Meanwhile, to those wanting to have an uninterrupted music-listening experience, they can pay for a $9.99 subscription fee per month for the YouTube Music Premium.
There is also good news to those who have been subscribed to the premium version of Google Play Music. They will not have to pay another membership fee for the YouTube Music Premium since the company has confirmed that the latter becomes one of the perks of paying for a Google Play Music subscription.
For users who will soon be using both Google Play Music and YouTube Music Premium, the company has also promised that “nothing will change” with the way they use Google Play Music and that they can still keep all their saved songs and playlists prior to the launch of YouTube Music.
