Now fans around the world can find more music and discover new favorites. YouTube Music is a new music streaming service built on top of all the music on YouTube. It is personalized, simply organized music, in one new app and web player.
The service doesn not include just music also videos, but official albums, singles, remixes, live performances, covers and hard-to-find music.
A home screen dynamically adapts to provide recommendations based on the artists and songs you've played before, where you are and what you're doing.
Thousands of playlists are created across any genre, mood or activity. And with smart search, you'll find the song, even if you can't remember what it's called. You can also search by lyrics (even if they're wrong).
