YouTube Music

YouTube Music for broad listening and discovery

YouTube Music is a music and audio app from Google LLC for listeners who want more than standard album releases. Alongside official songs, it brings together music videos, live performances, covers, remixes and other versions that may be difficult to find in a conventional streaming catalogue. It suits casual listeners who want quick recommendations as well as fans looking for alternate recordings or less common performances.

What it offers

• Search across official tracks, albums, videos, live recordings, covers and remixes.
• Personalised mixes organised around listening habits and activities such as working out, focusing or relaxing.
• A quick way to move between audio playback and the related music video where available.
• Connections with parts of the Google ecosystem, including Wear OS, Google Maps, Waze and compatible smart speakers.

How it feels to use

The app is built around discovery, with recommendations and related music helping listeners move beyond a single search result. Its large mix of official uploads and other video-based material gives the catalogue unusual breadth, although that range can also make results feel less uniform than a service focused only on licensed studio albums. Lyrics and related tracks are available from the playback view, keeping common next steps close at hand.

At a glance

With a 4.57 rating from more than 7.3 million reviews and 5,000,000,000+ installs, YouTube Music is a well-established choice in Music & Audio. Its main strength is variety: listeners can move from familiar releases to live sets, covers and remixes without leaving the same app. It is a strong fit for Android users who already rely on Google services and for anyone who values hard-to-find versions as much as standard tracks.
