While music videos can be download in 360p and 720p, songs are locked to YouTube’s standard bitrate.Īdditionally, YouTube Music does not carry any podcasts - unlike Google Play Music, which has an entire section dedicated to podcasts.

It should be mentioned that, unlike Google Play Music, users don’t have as much control over the quality of the music they download. Anyone with a YouTube Music Premium subscription can access the complete catalogue of music available on Google’s first music streaming app. The free version provides access to ad-supported music videos and songs, while the paid version - YouTube Music Premium - provides users with ad-free music, the ability to listen to music in the background, as well as the ability to download both music videos and songs to listen to offline.Īdditionally, a $9.99 YouTube Music Premium subscription includes a complete Google Play Music subscription. YouTube Music is available as both a web app and mobile app on Android and iOS, and comes in a free and paid version.
